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?

If I found Carla Bruni in my bottom drawer I'd be extremely aroused pretty pleased.

Yes and their four children have all left home but they are still rattling around in social housing which is too big.

Look people can we leave out goats, it's a dead end, a goat that has died, a mort goat, a parrot by another name, in other words a pointless reference I will tell you why.

The highest number of benefit cheats live in houses in middle class areas, now I doubt most of you know this but neighbourhood watch, coffee mornings, walking crocadiles, garden police, and other self appointed nosey types wil never ever, ever let you have a goat as it only promotes riff raff. So please no more goates. Stick to huuugggeeee tellies and 23 holidays a year, plus the always sure fire tell tale of a blue badge on the car that they never drive themselves.

YANBU. And the whole family hasn't worked for at least 3 generations Angry. I think you should tell the Daily Mail - that'll shame 'em, when they see themslves on the front page with their jewellery collection, TVs and freeloading holidays being exposed.

At least the the grandkids work! Oh wait a minute, they're not actually allowed to go on actual missions are they? Security risk apparently! Well at least they pretend to work then!! Would that entitle them to job seekers allowance? Is that classed as actively seeking work as they're just not allowed to do any???
