I`ve had housing benefit a few times - there`s a limit usually. How did she get round that?

That about sums up everything that is wrong with this country.
I know some people genuinely struggle on benefits, but come on, why do we have to pay for someone's unprotected sex?

Why is this not surprising?

Actually, I'm not even going to start because if I do I won't stop! This kind of thing makes my blood boil.

I'd have her sterilised for a start!

it just proves how screwed up the benefits system really is, those that need it dont get it or miss it by a few pounds and then others get everything they want.

Just read this.

Am speechless, but not surprised. Those who are most in need don't get and those who know how to play the system and are prepared to do so reap more benefits than those who work full time in a 2 income household.

Child number 7 will no doubt be along soon. She may need help but it should only be given when she is prepared to pursue the fatherS of the children for financial help for THEIR sprogs and it should not be to the tune of more per week than my household gets in a month

By the way it has nothing to do with how many kids you have really.....I know someone with 4 kids in a two bedroom house...the mum sleeps on the sofa and she has hardly any money at all! It all depends which council your under and unfortunatly where you are from and what colour you are.


Re the highlighted part. Why? im not at all aware that that means anything with regard benefits and housing.
