A little case study from Twitter today: https://twitter.com/imajsaclaimant/status/930515080130826240
Do you "empathize" with the person referred to as "PH" there? Why not?

If you think about it actually more reason to hate on free loaders. They cause tragedies like this.
We know this from the number of people who are working and claiming benefit. (I think these now outnumber people not working and claiming benefit).
For how long do they claim benefits?
This could actually be a bad sign.
But people in work who do over sixteen hours per week and who are claiming eg working family tax credits are not free-loading.
This is one of the mechanisms that's designed to get people back into work. There's a benefit cap in place, and that cap is removed if you work more than 16 hours per week.
