They’ve been telling the same lie for decades: that sick and disabled people are “scroungers,” “cheats,” and “lazy.” They pump it out on TV, in newspapers, and in Parliament—until the public believes it.
Here’s the truth they don’t want you to hear:
The Real Numbers
- Benefit fraud is around 0.7%.
- Tax avoidance by the rich costs the UK £35 BILLION every single year.
- MPs claimed £118 MILLION in expenses last year alone.
But sure, let’s all hate on the disabled person trying to survive on £350 a month.
Why Do They Do This?
Because it works. Blame the most vulnerable, and the powerful get away with everything. They turn neighbour against neighbour, so we don’t look at the people who actually crashed the economy—the bankers, the politicians, the corporations.
The Reality
We are not scroungers. We are human beings. And this government is systematically destroying our lives while laughing all the way to the bank.
