This is a pie chart someone called Jon Leighton put on Facebook. I hope it's accurate, but it seems likely. It does tend to illustrate that if there are any scroungers, they are a minuscule percentage of the total, and are certainly not at the root of the benefits spending problems.
There is a great rhetoric against the poor - as usual under the Tories - as if they/we were somehow to blame for the country's economic ills. Actually, we don't receive any of the benefits here - only tax credits. Not that that means much, but I guess it shows how desperate things are at the real bottom of the heap, given how hard things are for us..
