Owen Jones, writer for the Independent newspaper, attacks welfare as a "subsidy for employers and landlords" but omits to mention that it is also used as a subsidy for the Labour Party, supplementing the incomes of party activists who chose to pursue the dilettante existence of extremely poorly-paid left-wing politics to the alternative of finding a full-time job.
Of course, it would destroy all faith in idealism to find out that Owen Jones himself was claiming housing benefit.
