My feeling is they are frustrated at the lack of empathy for those on low incomes, that in itself smacks of ridicule when someone living and working in the capital admits they are struggling to manage on what in other parts of the country would seem average.

A little forethought as to what rent, travel costs,utilities, council tax as well grocery shopping amounts to in the capital. Then perhaps reactionary knee jerk responses like that wouldn't be met with as much frustration?
