I think the welfare system here is very generous to you if you have been generous to the country. Taxes are higher here, but if you have paid yours then you reap the benefit if you are out of work. Perhaps they are more harsh to layabouts.
They are also very strict about immigrants claiming welfare - its very difficult and requires work history in the country which is actually far less generous than the UK system.
