The exorbitant benefit claims are possible under Labour’s controversial Local Housing Allowance, which enables council tenants to rent property from private landlords and apply for benefit.

But if one of us went back to U.K tomorrow seeking help - I wonder which chicken hut in the Shetland Isles we might be given. And of course, no money - we would have to take to the street corner with comb and paper to raise a couple of bob.

Now if I had half a dozen illegimate children, a different colour skin and of a different ethinic origin I might fare better. Am I cynical? No, not really - just realistic that what was an ideal system for helping the needy has lost its way.

Where oh where are the politicans that will re-dress the balance. I don't know of any country inthe world I could go to and get help withliving. (Fortunatley, I don't need it, and I am blessed with enough toliv eon, but just supposing...............................

It's the UK government that makes me speechless, why is she entitled to a five bedroomed house because she has six kids? they should be made to share rooms like other kids do and where are the fathers who should be made to keep these children, one a lawyer.

I think the UK should have the same policy as KAR.......



"Neut um and dump um"...

Back on the street to live out the gutter!









Just my opinion of course.

What do you expect with loadsa money labour, needless waste , incompetence, spending someone elses money,corrupt and inept lowlife landfill in charge of running the country...into the ground.Just try to imagine all the things this bunch of clowns have done that we dont know about and as for the EU ,well theres another institution based on corruption and waste , the YUK's bank balance is beyond recovery but wait till the EU's books are released ,if they ever are . Are the other mainstream parties any better , i doubt it , if i was going to bother to vote and i havent for 25 years ,then it would be a close run thing between UKIP and Sir Richard Branson and before you start Coachie types etc talk to the hand cos the face aint listenin !!!!!

Oh come on! the poor girl has no man to support her. (although it looks like she's "supported" one or two) I'm only grateful that the powers that be are spending the taxes I paid over 45 years wisely.

Good to hear the usual expat right wing drivel!

Is the story true?

Has anyone found out the true facts?

Why do none of you ever get speechless over the tax evaders and avoiders at the top of the heap who cost the country billions?!

And the bankers and casino economists who got the country into its current mess.

And who was it who deregulated the financial institutions in the first place ?

It's a pity you're not all speechless all the time!!! You're a bunch of ignorant sun and daily mail readers!!!And the express is not much better.

I resent being called ignorant and I resent being called a 'Sun' or 'Daily Mail' reader, but, what I resent even more is the like of you telling me, and my family, as tax payers for all our working lives, that we are expat, right wing drivellers. How dare you! You might not mind your hard earned taxes being spent like this, but I, for one, do. I am not an ex-pat - why do you think it's everyone who has moved away from the 'sinking ship' that is Britain that has this point of view? As for 'Has anyone found out the true facts' I think you'll find this is the thin edge of the wedge, my friend. Incidentally, my maths is not very good, but how much would this woman and her brood of children cost the country (tax payer) over the course of a year? I would work it out but I'm disgusted.

Little John,



I am with Jeannie on this one who do you think you are calling anyone on this BB ignorant. I also resent these people getting all the benefits and having worked as a nurse in the NHS I have met every kind of benefit cheat and tax dodger there is... O.A.P.'s having to make their own ways to out patient appointments while the ones on benefits would claim taxi's as they could never get a bus on time!!



And the newspapers that people read are their business. What's makes your newspaper better than theirs?



Chris

p.s. My husband and I have never in our lives claimed a penny in benefits despite paying tax all our lives and guaranteed if we went back to the UK we would not be given any benefits now.

Perhaps you should be looking at why Tory run Westminster Council decided to let her live in a £2m mansion instead of finding her cheaper alternative accommodation? Immigrant+tax payers+impending election=Tory set up?
