  I try to be neutral and polite but it is hard and getting even more difficult at times.

  when this all kicked off the blues scored points with the general public who for a large part thought that anyone on a disability benefit was pulling a fast one.
  
  now people are seeing the effects on genuinely disabled people and the whole political game will backfiire.

  The facts are simple.
  The 1% that do do fiddle the benefits, are not even in the equation.
  Its all BS that they are the targets.
