You wouldn't believe it but there's people on here who believe all daily mail readers believe benefit claimants are scroungers.
Yes that's right they do.

Some daily mail readers do believe it. And some of them are on here.
The expression benefit cheats is used to get the support of those easily led by slogans
Say it enough and more will use the expression and believe it. It's a simple strategy but effective
Some is not all then, best tell some on here who believe that all readers of the mail believe those on benefits are scroungers, rather than pointing out the bleeding obvious to me then.

Missing the point, but never mind
Hardly, fully understand your point.
Give 'em half off an already affordable house, give' em a modicum of optimism for the future
And of course, there's always the third category - not a scrounger nor a cheat...
A carer who says he was “dragged through the courts” and had to sell his home to pay back almost £20,000 in benefit overpayments is fighting to clear his name after the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) acknowledged he made an innocent mistake. He wrongly ticked a box saying he was unemployed while filling in the “tricky” application form for carer’s allowance in 2010.
He protested his innocence but was found guilty. In 2018, a judge at Preston crown court gave him a 32-week suspended sentence and ordered him to wear an electronic tag for 16 weeks. Afterwards, he received letters from the DWP every three weeks demanding he sell his two-bed former council house to pay the debt or face a seven-month jail term, he said.
Henderson eventually sold the property for £115,000, and after paying off his mortgage and the DWP he was left with just £6,000.
