Britains welfare state, one of the greatest achievements of post-war reconstruction, was regarded as the cornerstone of modern society. Today, it is wilfully being dismantled by a succession of governments, with horrifying consequences. The establishment paints pictures of so-called benefit scroungers; the disabled, the sickly and the old. Cut Out reveals the reality behind the headlines, and the true nature of British politics today.
