    So the Daily Mail's story is about a comment made to the Daily Express about a trailer for a TV show? I know they're fond of saying they "couldn't make it up" but now they're not even trying to, they're just copying what other people make up

    This whole beneift sh*t does p*ss me off I must say, even I had look to see if I could claim anything as the system seems so screwed. I couldn't claim anything, can't even get NHS dentist nothing and I recon I've pumped into the system about £700k in tax and NI payments in my working life so far.
    You aren't poor enough or don't claim to have any children.

    Censorship? Buggered database?

    One thing the UK is very good at is processing child benefit claims then checking the number of children the person has in their home country.

    The UK pays for our daughters and neither of them were born there. I don't even pay tax into the UK system.
