The newspaper article here about 'Benefits Britain' shows us the lifestyle of underclass people and how their lives are different to our. The article portrays people on benefits to be lazy, uneducated people. Many people that are referred to in this article are thieves, alcoholics, drug users or troublemakers. One person, Danny, is named as the charmless thief next door with more than 80 convictions. Media like this portrays the underclass people in a negative way and people quickly produce an opinion on this. Many people that claim benefits have a good reason to do so (e.g. illness or disability) but some people commit benefit fraud.
