The Non-workers
Sir, —What right has “Social Worker” to expect me, and many other women like me, to work like a slave caring for a large young family as well as helping a husband who cannot find suitable labour? This is where a very large amount of the money that pays the taxes comes from in this country, and lazy drones should have no right to use it when it is meant for emergencies. By all means let those people have their freedom from our “rat race.” but away on an island offshore where they can do exactly as they please and be entirely self-support-ing, thus being trouble to noone but themselves. Let “Social Worker” turn his, or her, efforts to something a little more humanitarian, such as organising relief for overworked and ill parents.— Yours, etc., WORK HORSE. December 16, 1968.
