When I think of the current situation in England, I'm reminded of the character Onslow in the British comedy "Keeping up Appearances". If I recall, Onslow hasn't worked a single day in his life, earns his money through betting on horses, spends his time drinking beer, eating crisps and smoking cigarettes, and watching television.
Back in the mid-nineties my wife and I went to a costume party as Hyacinth and Onslow. I should have demanded all in attendance to pay for my upkeep that weekend!
