Get real, please!

Yet again messages are appearing on my FB and Twitter feeds, telling me that 'scroungers' shouldn't be allowed to take money off the 'state'.

The state is me and you and millions of other people who pay their taxes. Most of the so-called scroungers were also working till recently - paying their taxes - and would like to be working now.

Has anybody missed the following news?

 

This is fact, not opinion! And not bigotry!
