To report this Welfare Family?

There was this family on the news, none of them work and most of them live off state handouts.

I don't know how they get away with it, they've not done a stroke of work in 60 years, yet they live in this massive house in Central London, have loads of horses, the wife is always in designer clothes and they take lots of exotictrips around the world each year. The husband is an immigrant as well, an asylum seeker probably.

Their four kids are just as bad, most of them have dysfunctional marriages and they've got fancy cars and houses of their own.

As a hard working taxpayer I am sick of subsidising their lifestyle, should I report them?

Yeah yeah the Royal Family by any chance?

peppercold · 11/03/2012 00:55

You know them or you saw them on the news? Bit confused!

crazynanna · 11/03/2012 00:56

Ahhh but do they have a goat? You can't report them if they don't have a goat

Shanghaidiva · 11/03/2012 00:56

Absolutley - report all of the Windsors!

peppercold · 11/03/2012 00:56

Ahhhhh..

D0oinMeCleanin · 11/03/2012 00:56

What'd I miss? I'm too tipsy for this. This is a pisstake, yes? Who is this family?

Do you mean the Royals?

AgentZigzag · 11/03/2012 00:57

Everyone has a right to be judgy.

You do what you need to do.

(The designer clothes are an outrage on their own)

Yes I would report them. They claim to actually work for their money from the taxpayers, but their "work" seems to consist of visits to exotic places, luncheons and such like.

Judester24 · 11/03/2012 01:10

Ahhhh.. But they bring in loads in tourist revenue doncha know!!!!!

crazynanna · 11/03/2012 01:12

Ahhh but they are fucking crap at dancing

ComposHat · 11/03/2012 01:12

catgirl1976 · 11/03/2012 08:21

And did you see the big fat gypsy wedding they had at decent hard working taxpayers expense?

tsk!

Goawaybob · 11/03/2012 09:21

she's not opening them, she's nicking the drugs

KatAndKit · 11/03/2012 14:15

I wonder if they have plasma tellies to watch themselves on?

I can't believe that the Government isn't cracking down on this blatant benefits fraud. Would you believe that one minister even wanted to give them a free yacht?

ApocalypseCheeseToastie · 11/03/2012 14:20

I wonder if she wipes her own bum ?

CharminglyOdd · 11/03/2012 14:23

Apocalypse When I was a child my rabid monarchist mother told me that the Queen never needed the toilet, never farted and never burped. And I believed her. Blush

Kayano · 11/03/2012 14:25

They have no goat but the old granny has a shit load of swans and corgi dogs

amothersplaceisinthewrong · 11/03/2012 14:26

I think they are good value compared to that awful first family living in Paris. You know the one I mean, - the pygmy president and hi rather bottom drawer wife??:

KalSkirata · 11/03/2012 14:35

blardy parasites. I bet the old lady claims WFA to heat that massive palace house too
