  There's also Mr Tuffen's slant on the problems, quoted at the bottom of the article -
  
  
  One letter to The Independent, from Simon Tuffen, quoted a line from her article: "The individual is responsible for their own survival because the established community is perceived to provide nothing."
  
  Mr Tuffen commented: "Oh? I always perceived that a free education, free healthcare, social services, child benefit, housing benefit and unemployment benefit were all things that the 'established community' provided for the less fortunate. I thought we all paid a huge slice of our personal income on these things, as well as making voluntary contributions to innumerable charities. I thought we had racked up a huge national debt providing these things. Clearly, I was wrong. All these benefits just drop out of the sky and have nothing to do with the hard work and humanity of the vast majority."
