Pushed over the edge by benefit cheats!

CheekyChoppers · 09/04/2012 15:59

I'm getting increasingly annoyed with my neighbours family, we're very close and have been for a long time, but they are just so loose cheeky it makes me want to do something! But at the same time I don't know if I should just mind my own!!

My neighbour has three daughters;

Daughter 'A' lives in a council property with her children and claims all her entitled benefits as a single parent. Her long term boyfriend also lives with her, and he works full time earning a lot of money. He owns his own property which they rent out to make more cash for themselves!

Daughter 'B' lives in a council property with her son and claims benefits as a single person, although her partner also lives there and works full time.

Daughter 'C' (this is what's really pissed me off today!). She is married and lives with her husband and children in their own (mortgaged) property. They both work and earn good money. She however has made a dodgy application to the council housing list and has been offered a property which they are goin to accept! They plan to sell their home!

It annoys the hell out of me that so much money is being fraudulently claimed, and that it is clearly so easy to do. I really want to dob the cheeky bastards in, although am abit scared they'll find out it was me! And don't know if I should just mind my own beeswax!

I think rather than paying to have to bury me when I shuffle off this mortal coil, my kids may be required to have my body parts frozen or vacuum packed and sold to the highest bidder.

I would ask that mt big toe is decorated with the little Lindt bell.

I wanted to donate my bosy to ASD research (well they wanted my brain specifically) but Dh said no. Tsk.

As for goats... I like the pygmy ones. The ones with teh big flappy ears are cute and funny but absolutely frigging nuts. Especially <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.com/imgres?q=goat+image&start=80&hl=en&biw=1024&bih=592&addh=36&tbm=isch&tbnid=DPg1KzL5WOtSwM:&imgrefurl=jonathanturley.org/%3Fs%3Dhappy%2Bgoat&docid=54-diM2KVgPgjM&imgurl=jonathanturley.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/goatvi3.jpg&w=492&h=600&ei=MhiDT_a8Bsas0QWMq9jxBg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=639&vpy=159&dur=4116&hovh=248&hovw=203&tx=99&ty=167&sig=107930283262403602956&page=5&tbnh=128&tbnw=105&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:13,s:80,i:33" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this one, which is both brilliant and - ahem - worrying.

Isn't there a difference between a benefit bashing thread and a thread bashing people who are claiming benefits fraudulently.

Some people seem to be confusing the two.

PerryCombover · 09/04/2012 18:14

I want a teacup piglet. Day's get them on benefits?

hoops997 · 09/04/2012 18:15

peachy was going to ask for a Pygmy goat cause they're so cute, although I wouldn't want one that eats my clothes.....

Originalplurker · 09/04/2012 18:15

There are no bees round here. People on benefits buy their own honey from a farm shop, and have free pest control from local authority.

PerryCombover · 09/04/2012 18:18

I know only my own circumstances well enough to confidently write about them
Everyone else has their own situation

Whining on about supposed benefit frauds when really it isn't your business or within your complete knowledge is bullshit.

SuePoiblybilt · 09/04/2012 18:19

Sleeepy may have ishoos with me cause I pointed and larfed on a thread where she got all ranty and called us all a bunch of cunts. And arselickers.
And that was before I turned up Grin. So clearly the love is being spread.

Originalplurker · 09/04/2012 18:19

Yes bat- but say you know for sure as you have been told the person trusts you but also assumes you think it's ok to be fraudulent. Sometimes you do know.

TiggyD · 09/04/2012 18:21

They say they need benefits for food, but they still find enough money to have things tattooed on their faces!

IamTheSandInYourVagina · 09/04/2012 18:21

Was that thread deleted Sue, you bee?

Ha

Originalplurker · 09/04/2012 18:22

perry in all seriousness it is anyone's business who pays taxes in this country or may need an equitable share of benefits, in effect whether you claim benefits or not however or for whatever we are all stakeholders as citizens.

SleeepyHead · 09/04/2012 18:23

No that's not the case queen bee.

tethersend · 09/04/2012 18:23

Well I for one am getting sick of all these fictional people with a sense of entitlement to things they are entitled to stealing all our jobs.

Shouldn't be allowed.

PerryCombover · 09/04/2012 18:24

I have never been an arselicker but I read on here that cling film is the answer if one wishes to start to do so
I'll bet Lakeland have a specific dispenser

tethersend · 09/04/2012 18:24

We are a bunch of cunts though Sue, be fair.

JosephineCD · 09/04/2012 18:27

You can't really go wrong reporting people for benefits. Either they are being fraudulent and will get their benefits stopped, or they aren't, and they won't.

PerryCombover · 09/04/2012 18:27

Hey original
That made as much sense as all the frothing proles on here shouting fraud fraud fraud

I'd always advise them to get busy in their own lives rather than trying to beak into another's

Glitterknickaz · 09/04/2012 18:27

Oh of course one should do what one can to avoid, Josephine.
Hang on, I'll just go murder my children. They're only fucking parasites after all eh?

catgirl1976 · 09/04/2012 18:28

In that case Joesephine the best thing one can do is report everyone on benefits as this will solve all fraud and won't adversley affect anyone who is claiming correctly

Is that what you are proposing?

SuePoiblybilt · 09/04/2012 18:28

Ahem, it kind of was the case ackcherly.

Yes, my lovely VaginaSand, it was. Funnily enough.
