For truly shocking reality TV, tune into the Parliament channel

kerenThere’s been a bit of a feeding frenzy over social security recipients in our media of late. Of course, no one’s calling them ‘social security recipients’ because that kind of honesty has long gone in the rush to transfer to the rest of us how this government really feels about the unemployed and disabled. We’ve become used to tropes like ‘skivers’, ‘on welfare’, ‘on handouts’ (used with growing frequency in TV news and newspapers), ‘something for nothing culture’,  ‘scrounging’, ‘languishing on the state’, and ‘living a lavish lifestyle at the expense of the taxpayer’ (big telly = lavish lifestyle).  Pick your own misconception to suit.
