I think Pierre's point was that not so long ago family helped other family members out who where suffering hardship ,now it seems the first port of call is the state .

Your example is another over emotive story spun by the press to tug at heart strings when in fact the man himself refused treatment and refused help from the state ,it should also be pointed out that 2 years ago (when he had his assessment) he may have been capable of work in some capacity .
