I can't say what, but I am having to listen to some rather obnoxious opinions towards the less well-off for work today. Think along the tired lines off "but these people all have big tellies" and you'll get the idea.

@BicycleBen I sympathise with you. I work in social care, and have to listen to these opinions from the better-off clients all the time.
Recent ones include "but they get soy lattes every day and have Netflix" plus "only asylum seekers get council flats"... 🙄

@AnnaUK Ridiculous.

@BicycleBen I bet they’re lifted straight from the pages of certain newspapers too, rather than there being any original thought involved.

@BicycleBen I’ll never forget the terrible Fox News segment about this. The whole “50 percent of poor people have refrigerators” argument is insane.

@Ferrichrome Seriously? They were complaining about low-income people running fridges? I thought the telly nonsense was bad enough. That's a whole another level.
