WINSTONE SLAMS ‘LAZY’ BRITAIN
Hollywood actor RAY WINSTONE has bemoaned the state of his native Britain, insisting youngsters are "too lazy" to work and prefer taking state hand-outs to finding a job.
The Sexy Beast star is convinced society in the U.K. has taken a turn for the worse since he was a young man, and fears too many people are shunning employment in favour of staying at home and living on government benefit payments.
He tells Britain’s Daily Express, "I was born 12 years after the Second World War… There wasn’t much money but families looked after one another… There was a kindness and a feeling of being all in it together.
"That’s gone and has been replaced with values that don’t mean so much… Some of those on benefits, who think the world owes them a living. What happened to the simple formula of paying to bring up your own kids? Why don’t certain people take pride in grafting (working hard)? Those who were too lazy to look for work where I was brought up were scorned - rightly. In recent times the men and women who work have been treated as mugs (fools) by those who do nothing.
"There seems no shame now in not putting in the effort, getting out of bed in the morning and doing a shift."
