I explained to my wife that it took the tax from 4 people on my wage just to support them with DLA and other benefits. So the fact that they have lost their DLA, and now had to get a job, means that all that tax from 4 people on my wage will now go somewhere else rather than paying a scrounger.

Make your mind up. Was he injured or was he "a scrounger".

Do you work for ATOS ot the ESA by any chance? If not you should consider doing so as you appear to have the same visionary distance diagnosis medical skills they employ.

Banks are funded by tax payers also, it's where we put our money - and not only when they need bailing out.
