The Widow's Mite.

Having already tackled the unemployed, the disabled and the terminally ill, the Tories are now turning their attention to widows. Lord Freud has signalled changes to their benefits not to save money, he insists, but to target benefits more effectively. We asked a Tory spokesperson what that actually means; "We've sorted out those careless enought to lose their jobs, those careless enough to be disabled and those who have deliberately contracted cancer in order to scrounge off the state. Now we've got those careless enough to lose their partners in our sights. These people think they've got it made for life, living off the fat of the land while the state brings up their brood of children, and it has to stop. We've seen cases where widows have bought Rolls Royce's, yachts and entire Greek islands on their ill gotten gains - currently £180 per week. The British, as any off them will tell you, are scroungers by nature, but we are determined that we will make these peasants search for nonexistant jobs until their feet bleed."
