Most Support Squeeze On Welfare.

Figures out today suggest that most people in Britain support a squeeze on welfare. "There is a sense of entitlement in this country and it must stop," John Humphries from the BBC and who has recently made a documentary on the subject told our reporter. We asked members of the public in a straw poll for their views; "Oh yes," one city banker told us, "these scroungers should be put up against a wall and shot." "I believe everything the BBC tells me," one woman told us. "You only have to watch "Eastenders" to see what's going on in the country. Now this has been pointed out to me I will vote Tory forever." To balance this out we asked an expert on the subject from Birmingham University for his view; "Many of these people come from families that haven't had paid work for 30 years. They were originally thrown out of work by the Tories who destroyed entire industries in order to break the unions and to allow a flood of cheap imports into the country. These victims of greed are now cast in the role of villains, as scroungers. Now the wealthy are using taxpayers money to support finance companies where they have their money invested and throwing even more out of work in order to do so. To keep their taxes low they are determined that they will not pay for benefits and so identify those out of work as "scroungers" as an alibi. Meanwhile the BBC, the Tory party as a newspaper, are diseminating the myth to the rest of the population who fall for it because they are stupid."
