To feel a little sorry for the 7 children benefits Mum.

Is just seems like another bit of benefit bashing to me.

I know she shouldn't have had children she couldn't afford, but what hope of improving her lot???

I think I asked first, how she wasn't putting her children first.
I would seriously like to know.
I daresay there could be other choices that wouldn't make financial sense such as working, paying childcare and having nothing left.
Working and getting God knows who to do the caring for her dc with sn. Then having even less money to raise them.
Thats considering she is able to work, is the DLA for her or the dc, because they don't award this for nothing.

Actually, I said the term ignoramus had become inflammatory...

where does it say her DC quality for DLA?

I am inflammatory to feegle-are you actually having a laugh? I have remained polite and not resorted to name calling. Oh and none of my posts have been deleted?

Must try harder Ashoe

I'm just stating fact.

Couthy yep, thats what I said is a tad confusing about this story.

I need to know if she is actually getting DLA. If she is, then this whole story is just nonsense designed to stir up debate, if she isnt getting it....then I suggest she applies.

FasterStronger it was hollyberrybush that said this woman gets two lots of DLA and carers, I quoted her post upthread.

not sure where she got that info from.

Are you drunk? Amazon? Yes but you raised a load of bollocks, unfortunately, as you can't reduce a tax bill you don't have.
Anyway you will be pleased to know I checked with tax office and they said it made good sense. So unless you'd like to tell them they have it wrong....

Ok, now for anybody else. I haven't said she is a great mother or anything else. I have asked after a post claiming she wasn't doing the best for her dc, how this was explained.

Also Fasterstronger, those benefits you listed are means tested DLA is not.

You forgot to take off 'money you already have coming in'.
So you need to take child benefit off that figure.

Oh my God - it's extremely that my fellow Glaswegian has such harsh, harsh views

Amber - I don't disagree with you. but I cannot find a newspaper saying she is a carer or mentioning DLA.

if she was a carer she would not be unemployed?

morethan - I am sure some of what you say is true. its which bit...

My cleaner gets paid £10 an hour. Hardly minimum wage. She does an excellent job and is turning people away.

I don't fancy my chances of getting away with fraud, lets put it that way. i like to be able to sleep at night, i'm old fashioned like that, honest upbringing and such.

amazon are not committing fraud. they are just seeking to maximise their benefits and minimise what they contribute. like you.

I on the other hand deserve a medal for the taxes that I pay nighty nighty

She has done an interview iwth the express a couple of hours ago to hit back at those saying she should get a job.

She states it is all the governments fault that she is in this mess.

Hmm oh riiiiiiiiight

Yep that's right feegle-a weegie brought up in a very deprived area in a single parent family who didn't use that as excuse to become a junkie/alkie. We are a rare breed I shall admit.

So you think single mothers that are not junkies/alkies are a rare breed?

This thread just keeps on giving.

Haha Ashoe - you're killing me!

morethanpotatoprints @ 17:31:33, I agree with you totally. There are all kinds of nastiness and bigotry being expressed here. Tarring everyone who is on benefits with the same mean-spirited and illiberal brush is wrong, but it's what the DM and the Tories do and I am frightened to think that so many people fall for it.

Bloody hell - is that really how much she is getting?

We are scraping by at the minute on take home pay of £1100 and child benefit of £80. We have to pay our own mortgage (£600) and council tax (£110) and all the other bills (electricity, water, insurances etc) We just about make ends meet with nothing left over for socialising, clothing, going out etc. All DD's clothes have been charity or ebay.

I was sympathetic. Now I think I'm pissed off.

You should apply for tax credits,frisson.

You missed my point entirely usual-I was trying to point out that I was brought up in exactly the same circumstances as these people who feegle keeps instisting are merely victims rather than responsible for their own actions.

Being brought up by a single mother who has worked 2 jobs for 30 years-and continues to do so-I am well aware that there are hard working single parents out there. Sadly this feckless woman isn't one of them.
