Bad news sells papers.
It is sad that this young man has died....but if he refused the benefits he was entitled to then it is partly his fault. This may sound harsh, but it is how I see it.
Consider this young man against the young chap who died just last week after raising millions for a teen cancer charity.
If anyone had grounds to wallow, to feel that life was unfair, then it was the boy who died raising money.

The young man in this article had the opportunity of a full life ahead of him, a healthy life. Not one filled with hospital treatments(none of them exactly pleasant). Instead he chose to take his life.

Many people have to apply for lots and lots of jobs before they get anything.(this does not make the news or sell papers)

There are people who come on here who will tell you that they applied for hundreds of jobs. What they didn't do was sit and wallow. Some of them went out and did voluntary work to give them something to put on their CV and to give them confidence in their abilities.

There are local and EU elections tomorrow......the Mirror is a paper with a bias towards the Labour (Liebour) party so how fortunate it is for a story like this to land in their lap on the eve polling.
