The estimated £12.7 billion-a-year benefits bill for workless households does not include Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit, the report states.
Just as we don't fully account for the costs to our society for the illegal aliens that stream in. Nor does it include the wider economic cost to society, which could be three times higher, the NAO suggests.

That way we could change the saying...

Pakistani and Bangladeshi households are the most likely to be workless at 22.3 per cent, while Indian households are the least likely, at 6.8 per cent.
Draw your own conclusions.

Although it does not mention the differing religion involved.

Pakistani and Bangladeshi households are the most likely to be workless at 22.3 per cent, while Indian households are the least likely, at 6.8 per cent. This statistic really begs the question. These are essentially the same people in a "racial" sense, and Any racism would affect all of these groups more or less the same. One is forced to look for other explanations for this disparity.

Around 13.5 per cent of the UK population live in workless households, compared with compared with 11 per cent in France, five per cent in the United States and less than 3 per cent in Japan. WOW!

I’d bet money that >50% of the 6.8% are Muslim.

Yes; but we’re striving to catch up to them. Just check with your local Lord and Master (Senator and Congressman). They keep taking from the taxpayer and giving it to the tax-grifter, individual and corporate.

“Six million Britons are living in households where nobody works”
And I’ll bet they vote overwhelmingly Liberal.
Welcome to our future. We’re almost there regarding taxes.

The income transfer system works. Other people work for them, so they don’t have to work.

I’m not entirely sure about the validity of these stats.
Britain currently has the highest level of employment since the 70s.
Unemployment has been falling for over a decade.
