By branding them scum you've shown that you subscribe to the model as portrayed in the right wing tabloids.
they are scapegoats, trawled out across the pages when there's something to cover up as it's a guaranteed headline grabber.

Kizzy - You are persisting in the same misconceptions and misrepresentations:

She IS a fraudster because I KNOW HER PERSONALLY. She is obese through gluttony and has NEVER WORKED due to having her first baby at 15 years of age and ELEVEN OTHERS SINCE, but she has NEVER HAD ANY DISABILITY OR CHRONIC ILLNESS which could have prevented her from working.

I am REFERRING SPECIFICALLY TO THE ONE WOMAN ABOVE WHO HAS ALWAYS CLAIMED BUT NEVER HAD A LEGITIMATE REASON TO DO SO - APART FROM CONTINUOUSLY BREEDING BABIES WITH DIFFERENT ABSENTEE FATHERS WHICH SHE REALLY COULD NOT AFFORD TO DO.

I AM NOT THEREFORE, AND HAVE NEVER DONE - ANYWHERE IN MY POSTS - REFERRED TO ANY LARGE FAMILIES ON BENEFITS PER SE, OR ANY OTHER CLAIMANTS PER SE, ONLY ONES WHICH I PERSONALLY KNOW TO BE CLAIMING FRAUDULENTLY.

Nor do I agree that any GENUINE CLAIMANTS should be DEMONISED BY THE MEDIA and I AM NOT BRANDING ANY GENUINE CLAIMANTS 'SCUM' - IF YOU READ MY POST CORRECTLY, YOU WILL SEE THAT I AM BRANDING BENEFIT FRAUDSTERS AS SCUM.

So I am NOT subscribing to any model as portrayed in the right wing tabloids.

I cannot control what the media publish and I have even stated several times that I agree with Joey that claimants are being made an issue by the government to deflect from the failure of their other - more grave - policies.

I stated that the obese woman I know above was in receipt of £900 per week, and I was attacked as a liar and ridiculed because of the amount among other things. Well Josy's FOI post proved me right, but I am still havin g to defend myself against attack for things I JUST HAVE NOT SAID.

It is wearing, time consuming and futile, and it is not my fault if what I state is continually misconstrued when I state it clearly and in the Queen's English.
