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.

Britain needs our 12 million illegals.
That way we could change the saying...

Six million Britons are living in households where nobody works [UK] I would have never known if not for your adding the "[UK]" part.

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!

“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.

Such a burden! Wonder what our numbers are here in the US?

I wonder if working on your Jihad's skills would count as work?
That would be one way to decrease the number of people counted as non working
Typical liberal solution

I’m afraid there are many white people in UK also on the dole. This is the way the UK works. Socialism causes this. If they really want jobs, they go to college in america and marry an american when they finish.

Goes along with ‘you get more of what you pay for’ - pay people not to work and many won’t work. Pay people to have children, and many will have children.

I love it. They call them “workless”, as if anyone in the family actually wanted to work. If they were called “lazy-assed bums”, it would draw a clearer picture.
