The most I've ever earned in 20 years of work is £32k and that was in two complete freak years. I was on the dole for a few months too.
The problem with establishing that some people deserve support and others don't is that it's very, very easy to change the definition of those who deserve help.

By this metric, some harmless sod working in a warehouse is less welcome than some button-eyed grasping opportunist 'entrepreneur' who sets up a fake business to sell millions of quid's worth of shonky PPI to the NHS during a pandemic.

How unconscious bias works. The Guardian demonstrates it with their headline on trans exclusion and adds a sprinkle of racism too. Presumably the tallest child is meant to be the example of transness and not being white makes the 'othering' more obvious.

Disgraceful! A patriotic flag shagger who dedicated his time to illegally putting up 64 flags is being charged £2,300 for the cost of taking them down. If it wasn't so funny I'd be furious.
