Yes, the four million in Britain who have never had a job in their lives are immensely productive and make an outstanding contributon to cultural life. Five million would be even better.

I am assuming your comment is meant to be sarcastic.
Be careful about assigning cause and consequence properly. Mass unemployment is an involuntary, macroeconomic problem. [1]
I am not an expert in the British economy, so I don't know whether your numbers make sense. But just taking them at face value, it is quite likely that those millions of people are unproductive precisely because they have never had a job. So it's not their fault.
Incidentally, I partly agree with you in that I think that basic income advocates are too starry-eyed about what people would do on basic income.
This is part of why I prefer a Job Guarantee, as I have explained here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5931534

They never had a job, but, still, they need to make ends meet. They live under the pressure to make some money. Removing that pressure may allow them to find more interesting things to do.
