This newspaper headline was apparently endorsed by Prime Minister David Cameron’s comments that the case raised ‘wider questions about our welfare system . . it shouldn’t be there as a sort of lifestyle choice’ (quoted in Groves, 2013). Given such messages, it might be expected that claimants are generally being seen as less deserving and therefore are more stigmatized (Bell, 2013). For poor people, however, the shame and humiliation of othering is ‘painfully injurious to identity, self-respect and self-esteem’ (Lister, 2004: 119).
Tony Blair, the future Labour Prime Minister, gained extensive coverage for a speech in which he claimed the murder was symptomatic of social and community breakdown: ‘in almost any city, town or village more minor versions of the same events are becoming an almost everyday part of our lives. These are the ugly manifestations of a society which is becoming almost unworthy of the name’ (quoted in Blair, 2010: 57). This alarmism echoed reporting of the murder which, in Blair’s words, ‘was laced with descriptions of the life, times and mores of certain groups of young people whose families seemed separated from the mainstream’ (Blair, 2010: 57).
A modern manifestation of this is the ‘welfare dependency’ discourse in which benefit claimants are depicted as idle and parasitic. A particularly noxious example was the portrayal of Mick Philpott, a long-term claimant who started a fire which killed six of his children, as a ‘Vile Product of Welfare UK’ (Dolan and Bentley, 2013). This newspaper headline was apparently endorsed by Prime Minister David Cameron’s comments that the case raised ‘wider questions about our welfare system . . it shouldn’t be there as a sort of lifestyle choice’ (quoted in Groves, 2013).
