No. The "benefits system" or "safety net" or whatever is really quite basic and not fit for supporting a modern family, contrary to what the Daily Fail would have people believe. Losing a job is devastating financially and emotionally, as it would be elsewhere. The main positive is healthcare is still free regardless of whether you're drawing a giro or £250k a year.

It still takes massive balls to stand together like that and fuck him off. Good effort.
