One thing is for certain - while we argue constantly among ourselves on sites like this the people folk elected are sleeping soundly in their beds
Where are you getting the evidence for these sweeping statements? The Beano?

Those of us who 'benefit bash' do not 'bash' those in real need. They bash fraudsters like this one...

£94k benefits cheat evicted from Hyndburn home (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Thieves, like the cretin above, fuel the fires for threads titled 'benefits hmmmm'. They are a minority, and they are invariably caught because of their innate stupidity and their greed for more gravy.

Welfare benefits are a necessity for some people, and the number in need of them is growing exponentially, thanks to medicine and health awareness allowing us to live longer, and, bankers, government and technological advance destroying jobs.

We are throwing billions in foreign aid to spacefaring nations whilst our own are left without power and homes because it rains hard. We cut aid to our own infirm and sick whilst affording the multi national super corporations tax loopholes.

I'm guessing from the posts I've seen on this forum in numerous threads over the years, that everyone knows this.....

So what is your point?
