I know. I lived there, most of my adult life.

Only in your skewed world would those hard working people have to pay taxes, to fund a system, in which those on benefits get more than them.

I suppose your advice to all those people in London, bringing up their families on wages of £35,000. and under, would to be down tools, and start milking the benefits system?

Thankfully this country's majority are still a decent, hard working, and proudly independent people.

I think you missed the point that -
the landlords are getting it

The level of payments for food and utilities is about the same as workers have - probably less, unless they have many children.
