However, the fact is that this man (I use the term "man" in its loosest possible sense) has lived his debauched life expense-free on the back of every hard-working tax-payer in this country. I don't see the point of getting all outraged because a newspaper (again, using the term loosely) points out that he is a freeloading parasite. I would say that's the mildest form on insult for him, considering the crime he committed, one so terrible that it's almost incomprehensible.
