Such as Thomas, who hasn?t had an income for years. Bruno tries to develop a personal bond with him. Sjoerd is working full-time as a volunteer. Debbie does not condone this. He will have to find a paid job soon or she will stop his benefit. Do Thomas and Sjoerd deserve sympathy for their situation, or is it unacceptable they do not work?
