George Osborne, the Chancellor, had painted a lachrymose picture of the 'shift-worker, leaving home in the dark hours of the morning, who looks up at the closed blinds of their next-door neighbour sleeping off a life on benefits'
what he's really saying is that the idea of people on benefits disrupts the dominant ideology of work being something you need to do to live lmao
