Zero risk Britain...

Fair enough - but don't stretch to killing their first-born sons. 'Vengeance is mine' saith the Lord

What about smiting them in battle and ploughing salt into their fields?

I always liked the more direct approach (taking all the women into bondage as well but that goes without saying...)

BTW - good to see someone get in touch with their inner fundamentalist. Keep up the good work

So glad that I am not paying tax in any way shape of form.

Managing the expenses right so I am set to make no profit! Har har.

[vetran]

Its only fair!

OP deleted original post due to the grief she was given (hardly surprising).

Here it is anyhow:

Disposable income = £68.58

So the scrounging wh*re only earns £388 salary but the house has 2 cars, mobiles, Internet, £30 a month on hairdressers etc...

She needs to get off her lazy ass and get a real job and stop relying on the state...at the very least she could go on the game and earn some cash...

Sorry to disappoint but the ploughing the salt into the fields is not bibilical which makes you a damned heretic and I'm afraid we'll have to burn you at the stake. Let's put the fun back into fundamentalist.

I did go onto the other forum and read the whole thread.

She doesn't deserve abuse as she's not bending or breaking any rules. As far as I'm concerned there is no difference in claiming the maximum benefits the law allows and paying the minimum tax the law allows, which we all try to do.

If you don't like what she's entitled to, blame the government.

Also, there are genuine reasons for her approach. She can't have a job (as opposed to being self-employed) because she can't work regular hours, due to children and (if I remember correctly) medical appointments - she's apparently recovering from a four year severe brain disease.

Some people have suggested that partner doesn't need his own car and could look after the children, but would she have a partner if she had imposed those conditions on prospective candidates? Partner is not husband or father of children, so I think these arguments are questionable.

Conditions?
Candidates?

This is a relationship, not a job!
When was the last time you 'interviewed' a 'candidate' for the 'job' of partner?

I think that I understand what you are saying, that the partner has no
responisibilites to her or the children and might leave if he can't have a car.

However he is contributing nothing to the family, in fact he is hindering them by not working when they are in such financial difficulties, he is just a drain on the family and the finances and they would probabally be better off without him!

The DLA rate she quotes appears to be a combination of middle rate care and higher rate mobility. It could be highest care and lower mobility. These aren't the easiest things to get.

She doesn't mention a carers allowance (it's 87 quid and only if > 35 hours). If it's her partner working then even the little income showing will disqualify. It does seem to me she is at least trying.

Having said that, that board looks like an excellent candidate for a CUK holiday...
