You mean Alan Labour long-supported the Labour Party Sugar?

JK Rowling is a pretty odd example given that she’s publicly declared that the benefits system is precisely what allowed her to get to where she is…

Yawn, more boring far-right nonsense.

I agree on one thing here that’s the rich versus poor as reflected in politics and the demanding attitude of both sides in the past is what has left us in this mess. We need people to work together for each other. We need to develop a fairer less greedy society and yes some people need to develop a sense of responsibility but lot’s need to develop a sense of worth. People need to learn to work together – communities need to pull together. If we had thriving public services jobs could be created in them and some people would be able to earn instead of receive benefits and the services would improve. The Government needs to think more creatively and be less punitive and stop trying to make the rich richer and the poor poorer. There are always people at the top and the bottom but the great divide is the problem and where the government chooses to spend it’s money is making it worse.

It`s actually more relevant today that ever. That`s why I said it. We`re going backwards, not forwards. I aspire to a country where we all actually have a real choice, not just brown-nosing the wealthy elite.

Steve – your comment is sooooo past it, outdated and out of touch. People need something to aspire to or they will drown in “mediocracy” – the way the left controls their minions.

Read again, implicit in her narrative is this idea people having benefits cut will just sit there like jellyfish on a tide, unable to make changes in their lives without nanny state help.

We want a return to a 1960’s style welfare state, there for the dignified few that truly cannot work.
Life was so awful back then was it?
Trust you as an evidence denier to frame this as welfare vs zero welfare, yawn, Rick from the Youngones, get out of that 1989 6th form common room bubble.
