And what experience would that be?

I grew up working class in a town where 1/4+ of the population was on Welfare/food stamps and living in government projects or subsidized housing. I sat and watched as my friends mom's taught their kids how to school the system and who was a cousin of whom and would hook them up etc. It's rampant.

How many of those people were actual social workers?

I think four of them, another two worked at the DMV.

baseless statments tbh.

Bollocks, I did live in the UK for a while, some of it sober, and did know many people on various forms of assistance.

some of it sober lol

many people? how many? ten? twenty? out of how many millions? doesn't make it common. far from it.

various kinds of assistance? like what, disability, family credit, unemployment, what? Much (most?) of it deserved I guess? Or were they all skiving bastards too?

you said it was 'not uncommon' for 16 year olds to get pregnant to get a flat. If it's not uncommon, it's common yeah? Like, a lot of 16 year olds getting pregnant to get housing. That IS bollocks. A Daily Mail headline to be sure. Unless you can prove it somehow, which I doubt, sorry
