Reading around the various media outlets, it's ironic how those who applauded the loudest at communities systematically having their livelihoods pulled from underneath them are the same ones who complain the loudest about "welfare ghettos" and "scroungers". I guess the Thatcherite ethos of metaphorically knocking people over and then jumping up and down on their legs until they break is never going to change.
