Comment on Would a quarter of workers really be better off on benefits?

It’s funny how this is meant to be right-wing slop to get me outraged about le benefits, but even if this was true (and I believed it was till I read the comments below), I always just took it as a condemnation of awful economy and wages.

Immigration outrage comes from the powers that be via the internet, but our free falling standard of living is immediately obvious and easily observed to anyone under the age of 50.

The awful shape of our streets and our people is a stark reminder of the fact that only half the population is in full time employment according to ONS, combined with non-existant growth since 2008, even when measured in GDP per capita.
