Well, for a start, there's the "evil Mysteron" travelling circle of light
symbology. Secondly, the adverts are targeted at "you" even if you aren't
claiming benefits & therefore can't possibly be a benefit cheat. Thirdly,
there is an _implication_ that at least one Government agency is already
actively monitoring the movements & activities of a fairly large section of
the population (all those who are in fact claiming state benefit).
whats more, as i keep banging on.... who the HELL would want to live on
benefits anyhow?
i've had to for various times of my life when i've been seriously ill.
its not fun. added to the troubles of living with a chronic illness, i
then have to worry about money, because the Government gives you only
enough to keep you ever so slightly in debt. so the banks get lots of
dosh out of the poorest people because they have to live on overdrafts.
you keep worrying, which makes you more ill, which means you remain on
benefits and then are forced back into work by a New Deal scheme when
you're deemed to be on them for 'too long'. all of which makes you
stressed out -> ill -> back into depending on the state again and back
into being suckered into debt.
its not fun to live like that and i wouldnt wish it on anyone. i can
hardly feed my cat on benefits and have had many weeks where i couldnt
afford to feed myself. so why would ANYONE want to live like that and
cheat when it sucks so much???
yet another example of the government targeting the most vulnerable to
line their pockets rather than taking a little from those who could
afford it and wouldnt even miss it. and then, on top of all the torture
we've already endured,
treating this underclass that they have created of their own doing as
criminals, for a crime none of us would want to commit. for the crime of
being alive but ill.
