Nope ... still don't like it ... and I still believe that tory parties will use sensationalist stories and vague statements like "we see it time after time" and "milking the system" as a prelude to attacking the poor and those who need help. Ok ... those who abuse the system should, as they do here, face another system: criminal justice. But I will never believe that millions should have to "[justify] their right to claim ... benefits", because of the inevitable abuse by a minority.
I remember reading a comment, years ago, before the net
, when Thatcher was in power. It went something like: "Thatcher isn't a rascist. She hates poor people whatever color they are."
