And be comforted to know your money is spent by social workers buying
colour tellies for people in council houses.

They do? Daily Mail tell you that?

They do - well I'm not sure about TVs, but I am about other things. My
wife is a Community Psychiatric Nurse and recently visited a new patient
to assess her. She was accompanied by a Social Worker from the same team
(purely so someone else in the team was familiar with the patient). The
SW proceeded to offer the patient a new suite, new cooker, new bed and
other items, despite the fact that she had a perfectly good, although no
longer perfect suite, the cooker just needed a good clean and she
already had a new bed, it just wasn't assembled, so the matress was on
the floor!
