I'm not in denial, I accept that benefits cheats exist (as cheats exist in any large system) and are an issue. However, I reject the notion that Channel 5 trash telly is a good resource for informing oneself of the objective facts. It's designed to be entertaining for simple minds and is therefore sensationalised, by default.

It's just another part of the Tory media's slow and steady drip-feed of misdirection and scapegoatery.

"Blrrrrgh benefits cheats, Blrrrrgh dole scum, bllllrrrrggghhhh immigrants all ruining our economy don't you know?"
