Benefit Street and its ilk did untold damage to our society. Yes, there are surely a few people who take the absolute piss, but they’re in such a minority that it barely makes sense talking about them.

The vast majority of those claiming benefits are struggling, and working for a living no less.

Maybe instead of getting upset that someone has found a way to con the system we should be getting upset at employers who pay piss poor wages safe in the knowledge that the government will subsidize their poverty wages with Universal Credit.
