When will Cameron's benefit blitz catch up with these?

It was for the British taxpayer apparently.

I am outraged!

I am more outraged than the last time the Mail ran this story about 4 months ago. In fact we get this story about 4 times a year (with different names) and each time I am enraged and blame the Government.

The only difference is now, at least I can blame the ConDems instead of Nooooo Labour.

[youngmafbog]

so are you saying the story is false gromit ?

Gromit thinks all Daily Mail stories are false except for the Daily Mail ones that he posts.

No, i am not saying it is false, I am saying the same story is dished up very often just to raise the blood pressure of Mail readers.

It promotes the idea that ALL people on benefits are lazy scroungers, and they are not.

[ummmm]

What's guardian allowance?

At least this family isn't Asian, Romany or black!

But seriously...eleven kids...that's just insane.

there was a story in NOTW yesterday, don't think it was the same family as got so angry I stopped reading but the woman is not fit to work due to a car accident over 10 years ago but she is fit to continue b0nking and producing more children! they will continue to get away with it!

What alot of tosh Gromit, of course it doesn't only to a person who is paranoid against certain newspapers like yourself.

To a level headed person, it all goes to make people aware by highlight these extreme cases.

[anotheoldgit]

That should read 'highlighting'.

Guardians allowance:

From reading the story I don't know how they would be entitled to it though as both parents are alive, well and breeding like rabbits.

Gromit, I'm not outraged at all at having had this brought to my attention several times. I hope the Daily Mail - or any other newspaper - continues to highlight it. Maybe eventually something positive will be done to stop serial scroungers like these thinking they're 'entitled'. They're not.

I wonder how Duncan Smith can square the circle by making sure they are not penalised if he took a job. It doesn;t seem right that someone on benefits can get more than a higher rate taxpayer and for life. I wonder what he tells the job centre and the number of jobs that he turns down as not paying enough.

Except for family allowance all other benefits should be time limited else it makes a mockery of the system.

Hopefully they'll no longer be on top of each other and stop producing offspring.
