British workers are idlers

Don't normal comment on politics, like to keep my thoughts to myself, but when British MP's decide to call British worker the worst idlers, in a BBC news story "British workers 'among worst idlers', suggest Tory MPs" http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19300051 I made an exception. It is interesting to look at the background of the 5 authors of this claim, I wonder where there got the experience and knowledge to backup their claim. Unless they are talking about those who work in politics, although a lot of workers in Parliment and the polical parties that work hard. I have worked for large and small UK companies and the majority of those I have worked with are hard workers, although their is a small group of slackers just doing what is required it is unfair to label the majority of UK workers as idlers
