Proper CUK fodder!

Love the way so many of you see a report in the Mail, a paper known to lie constantly; which in turn was lifted from Closer magazine, which isn't exactly known as a bastion of journalism; yet you swallow it hook, line and sinker because it panders to your prejudices

Yep that's right, having seen the way people abuse the system including my own relatives why should any different and might I add this is not the only article ever to appear there have been numerous articles.

This is old article not in the same vain as the ones that are more current but never the less I grew up on the same council estate as this family and they all went to my high school Britain's supermum Marie Harvey has 14 children, 20 grandkids and has 2 more on the way - Exclusive - Mirror Online

Britain: Employment tribunal rules Gate Gourmet strike illegal

A leaked internal company document published in the Times on August 14, 2005, makes clear that Gate Gourmet was intent on provoking a dispute. Its plan was to “Recruit, train and security check drivers.... Announce intention to trade union, provoking unofficial industrial action from staff. Dismiss current workforce. Replace with new staff.

Gate Gourmet says it could go bust if BA rejects deal - Telegraph

Referring to Gate Gourmet's decision to replace sacked workers with casual staff, he said: "They say the eastern Europeans are cheaper. Most of us were earning around £1,000 a month.
"Out of that money, most went on income tax, council tax, mortgages and of course feeding our families. We have been very good workers. I don't have a blemish on my record and that goes for everyone I can think of. We have been treated like dirt."
The majority of affected workers are south Asian women who helped prepare the in-flight meals.

plenty more out there, but this was the one that convinced me it was all intentional.

Some irreleavnt guff.

Are you senile? We were talking about that woman and benefit fraud.

Love the way she is so blase about it and clearly she doesn't care what people think about it seeing as she let them write an article on it.

Unlike other headline cases where someone is claiming £75k for a 6-bedroom London town-house, this woman is claiming the princely sum of £15k a year, on which to feed and house herself and her children. If she didn't have £2k left over, there is no story here... £15k for a family is not luxury or benefits gone mad, it's a reasonable amount needed.

It's 15k's worth of theft quite simply.

That is the issue.

Then I'm sure she won't mind repaying the 2k, if ever there was a reason to have a benefits debit card this would be it.

exactly

benefits should be available to stop people starving and put a roof over their heads.

It is not a substitute for working and so any luxuries - and by luxuries I mean Beer, fags, designer label clothes, expensive computer equipment, Sky Tv, ready meals consisting of meat filled with cheese etc should not be availble to people who do not work

it is that simple - a generation of that and you will get rid of your dole dependant families

Why? In many countries that level of subsistence living is all the majority aspire to.

Then we offer that and the unemployed will be happy! I have no problem paying dole at that level, combine that with forced education & work and I suspect the jobless numbers would fall quite quickly.

Listen to the squeals about capping benefits at £26,000 after tax.
