Could not agree more with that statement. Welfare is supposed to be there as a safety net, a last resort, not as a supplement to fund a chosen lifestyle.

This in spades. My guess is that if you investigated this further the story probably would be all it seemed anyway.
I don't know what she means ''she cant afford to have any more kids'' - I cant afford her to have any more kids. After all, I am paying for them and didn't get any pleasure making them
Do we really want a system where families can be enticed to have more than 2 kids when they have no financial security other than government handouts? I'm all for couples having as many children as they want, but you have to put measures in place to prevent people thinking: more children = a little more benefits.
That is funny ,lol

Getting to live in Oz from the UK is not for those at the bottom of society though is it?

The most curious thing..
£2000 per month between nine people (her and children) = £222 each per month each = £7.40 per day each = 12.3 Kitcats per day each - which does not sound much of a luxury lifestyle to me.

I'm more concerned about the amount we send abroad at £80 per child and this was 3 years ago...shocking
That was before Romania had full accession rights , Poland for certain wont be at the top of the list any more.
Does he have 8 kids as well and expectation of benefits then?

If a MP loses his/her seat there is a payment of £46,000 to help him/her cope with the shock of having to find work again... strangely, MP's have not voted to reduce this or cancel this altogether despite us still being in times of austerity and " all in this together " ?
Agree more with that post, the MPs need to take a look at themselves. However, slightly off-topic and the issue regarding this woman and benefits remains.

He probably has fewer than 8 kids but is cushioned from the reality of modern life by parliamentary benefits...

And she appears felly well cushioned by us. No surprise re the Mirror, have they managed to get the date right? About as reliable as the Mail.

Traditionally yes it is. Those convicts were hardly the cream of the crop.
Although I don't really see how this is relevant.
