There are plent of parasites. The Duke of Westminster owns 7,000 million and didn’t earn a penny. He was born rich and has never contributed anything useful in his life. His wealth increases by £1000s every day while he sits on his arse. Cameron and his family and friends are very rich social parasites themselves. They divert your attention to ‘benefit cheats’ while they screw us legally via the laws of capitalism

If hard work gets you wealth then why aren't retired firemen and nurses rich?

These were fuckin' Tory actors pretending to be cheats as propaganda

@RelaxItsJustAFlare Well - a sizable number of people, here - especially since the level/pace of cutbacks has now become clearly evident - did not ask Cameron 2 run this country. Do u seriously think he does it 4 the money???! He's a very wealthy man. Clearly determined to push through his extreme ideology, during his 5 year term, he relishes the challenge. U clearly don't understand 2 what extent his crippling cutbacks have negatively impacted on so many individuals. Dec econ growth?: -0.2%

@UselessParasites Cameron earns £60k to run an entire country whilst being hated for the rest of his life by millions no matter what he does. It's one of the hardest jobs you can possibly have. Let's just look at Carlos Tevez shall we if we want to fill our sick bowls.
