But I Smile Anyway…

Or any day if the media is to be believed.

I read a certain national newspaper online every day, and this morning I was greeted with yet another headline and story about a mum and daughter who claim that they are too fat to work. Is it just me or are we being bombarded with stories like this on a weekly basis now? If it isn’t the newspapers then it is tv shows, for example “Too Fat to Work”, currently being aired by Channel 5. Shows like this are deliberately setting out to antagonise the taxpayers and further increase the divide between them and those who are simply too bloody lazy to work!

To be honest it is quite understandable why stories like this provoke such an intense reaction in the public. The mother and daughter featured in the newspaper today claim the equivalent of a £46k salary every year…
