More clown politics, innit. Every daft story like this comes accompanied by a picture of low-hanging belly and the words "benefits claimants", which does the job this shower wants it to do. People lap it up too, perhaps because they feel like high achievers for doing boring jobs, or because it presents the world as a reassuringly meritocratic place.
Something like 2/3 of benefits go to pensioners, and the majority of housing benefit, income support etc to low-paid workers. Not sure how those recipients would get a whole lot more exercise in their lives. (Or how they'd afford to live Westminster, for that matter.) Further cuts to benefits for the unemployed would be extremely difficult to make, and would save next to no money for the government.

(And yes I am pretty much coughing up chunks of my morning reading there: John Lanchester's latest annual report, The Shit We're In.)
