AOL: Falling support for benefits is based on a delusion

It's easy to be angry at benefit claimants.

"Benefits cheat given £135k!" "Single mother of six given mansion!" "Ten-strong Somali family on benefits live in a £2m council home!" Those are all stories that have appeared in the press - and we simply lap them up.
