<u+201c>what better way to unwind after a hard day at work than by getting angry because an overweight man on benefits has a pet cat and a dirty fridge,<u+201d> he said. 




<u+201c>why get worked up about tax avoidance on a massive scale when you can experience the fury of watching a work-shy teenager playing call of duty on his xbox?<u+201d>
