Add to this the enormous cost of funding illegal wars and the disgusting actions of the major banks in forcing govt bailouts, then one starts to see where the real money has gone from the govt purse.
Don't forget vast numbers of this so called "benefit class" used to work in these industries and after they collapsed there was little else to replace them. This has resulted in vast areas of the country where there is effectively no hope of finding suitable employment, and what new companies do open up are too busy enticing foreign EU workers from Eastern Europe to take jobs at rates which UK workers with mortgages & families cannot survive on.
So successive govts must take a lot of the blame for the messed up state of Britain today, the Woman in the OP is a sad product of Broken Britain but to sensational and demonize her with these ridiculous news stories only distracts the public from seeing the REAL problems in Britain today...!!!!

Spot on, a very inciteful post!
coal, steel, textiles vast swathes of the country devastated by the loss of industry.
Privatisation, deregulation, outscourcing and war have ruined this country, it is time to stop pointing fingers of blame at those who are casualties of years of governmental failing.
Your bit in bold x 1000!
This is a quote relating to a different issue but it has relevance here..
''Without an acknowledgement that class-based discrimination is unacceptable, the MPs who are cutting wages, jobs and services will be allowed to peddle the myths that blame impoverished people for their own difficult circumstances.
