Who's set this off? It has been discussed quite a bit on AB, but the majority seem to see a huge difference between those that are doing their best and struggling and those that are just happy to be given everything. Don't let the b----- grind you down x

Regrettably, many sections of society are demonised - those on benefits, immigrants, travellers, those with criminal records, single parents, teenagers, striking teachers, bankers, MPs with expenses, England footballers, etc.
I don't think there's much we can do to change it- I doubt many people's views/prejudices are changed by posts on here. Fortunately there are many people around who are more understanding

Do you have a big tv and extravagant lifestyle, if not, shurrup and get on with it, you come across as a no-nonsense guy, stick with it, someone will recognise that.
Good luck!
