As I said, that is a profoundly dishonest presumption: I live on a couple of dozen acres of my own property, have comprehensive private healthcare and insurance, a decent stash of firearms, a pack of hunting dogs and a flock of wild geese.

The trouble with you is, you is a lefty and therefore wilfully immature and terrified of personal responsibility; essentially frightened of growing up and looking after yourself. You're delighted, and relieved, your government agrees to save you the trouble by playing mummy and daddy.

I'd tell you to man up, but it's almost certainly too late for that, in your case
