Kitty, we experience through OUR JOBS the things that the Daily Mail love to write about and people like you haven't got a clue about. I hate most journalists but ESPECIALLY the tossers that write for the Daily Mail, but that doesn't make the things I have seen any less true just because you think the paper is always wrong or too right wing. Of course there are people on benefits who don't want to be, but the fact is having worked on and around sink estates for years, there are a hell of a lot more people sitting on their sofas laughing their tits off at people like you who apologise for them and want to give them more. Perhaps you should go out with some Paramedics or Police officers for a couple of shifts and see for yourself? or is that a bit too *real* for you?
