what would woodie guthrie have said?

Britain wasn't working in the late 1970s.

Now the people in Mr Saatchi's famous poster would be described as, and I kid you not, "workless".

Yes, according to my copy of a new growth strategy - which should provide years of material for this blog - worklessness is the new unemployment.

Unemployment, not having a job, being on the dole, has been rebranded into something softer and cuddlier. About time too.

I have to stop writing now, I'm suffering from timelessness and I've got to make the supper or we'll all get foodlessness. And then its bedtime or we'll have sleeplessness.

I could go on...but I won't.

Does anyone know what these people are talking about?
