I was listening to a debate about this on the Jeremy Vine show, and was shouting at the radio at what one guy was saying.
Not all benefit claimants are lazy, feckless and spend their money on booze and fags. We all know there are few like that, but please don't assume they are all the same. I was on benefits once, and budgeted carefully for every penny. I didn't need the government telling me how to spend what little I had. By the way, I am immensely grateful for the help the state gave me.
