No. The so-called welfare state is has never been fully funded. There are many bureacratic roadblocks to the funding that does eventually trickle down. Fear not, nobody is getting rich sitting on their duff while you are busting yours.

There is no end to where those who receive entitlements want more.
I would love to see a complete re-distribution of wealth. 100% even across the board, but there would have to be two stipulations which could NEVER be broken...
1. It could never happen again
2. Welfare would never happen again.
The wealthy in this country would jump on this offer, as would most of the poor.
Why would the wealthy? Because over 80% of the money would be right back into the hands of the wealthy within 5-10 years.
You see, welfare recipients (with VERY few exceptions) are there for 2 reasons.
1. Bad choices
2. A system designed by dems to keep them there. (If the poor go away, so does the democratic party)

No. In the UK health rationing occurs. The welfare state is also felt by many pensioners to be not sufficient to the needs of the eldery.
It is better than it is in the USA though, where if you have little or no money, you are well and truly shafted.

Not quite but then we're better off than most countries and it's always the same thing isn't it ... Some people want everything for nothing so will complain about how little money they get. Meanwhile he rest of us work to fund them! Oh dear!

Had we not had the immigration of the last decade maybe the answer would be yes, but now I do not think so. I realise that some immigrants come here to work, but a lot take the jobs that do not contribution through finance (ie they are not officially paid).

Yes it is called the United Kingdom.
Canada is very close second.
Even France is more stringent with welfare recipient evaluations.
It is not viably funded- which is atypical of superiority-complex bourgoisie mentality of Leftist government.

Welfare states are never ever fully funded and eventually fail.

Not nearly, but some people would like it that way (the recipients...).
