Eurgh that is sick.
I'm sorry but if you had no job and was in a relationship with someone who had no job and had a kid or two, with hardly any money would you have MORE kids? I'm sorry but it's both the parents and government's fault.
The parents should take more responsibility and if they don't have the money or space to have lots of kids, then they should have simply not had all of them.
The government should be making sure that they are actually seeking for work and should have found the cheapest accommodation possible for the family. It's not like the family HAVE to be in the West End, one of the most expensive areas of the UK.

So wait, she was allowed to choose that house?
Damn, wish my parents would kick me out so I could choose an awesome house like this and live there with taxpayer's paying for me...
They wonder why we're in a recession, get off your arses and get a job, or else, go home, simple as that...

Not sure I get you there. What is your point?Slash said:
If his benefits dwindle, great! He doesn't deserve to be able to live in a house like that. The pad could be used by someone else, or even a lot of people. It's five floors, surely that'd make a couple of nice flats?

I don't get why it's fair play either...
As Hixee said, that could be a good couple of flats there, yet it's only got one family in it who chose it because they couldn't afford a smaller house...
It makes no sense that then they get to live in a bigger more expensive house and not have to pay for it due to the benefits...
It's not like all the children are young is it? So at least one parent can have a job, but no, they're not getting one... It's ridiculous...

Urgh. Things like this really annoy me. How everyone trying to get a job to earn money just to buy enough food and pay the taxes and then people like this just turn up in a luxury house and get paid to stay there by us and the government while they sit on their asses and do nothing.
This smells fishier than Taylor's anti-Chinese fish stance...
I know the benefits system, and I know that if you (or the council/benefits office) are following the rules - you can't do this.
So, somebody is cheating the system, or they're not being held to a standard policy. There is a cap on housing benefit (varying depending on where you live). Housing officers assess the amount of rent you pay and work within that cap for what the property is worth. The housing benefit is paid direct to the landlord, and any additional money has to be paid by the tenant.
So there's either loop-hole being used here (which will now be closed because it's come to public attention), or somebody has lied to or manipulated the council - which will also be stopped.
Having tried to claim housing benefit, it's a nightmare to get anything paid, never mind what the landlord actually asks for.
Slash is right, the government encourages people to sit jobless and procreate. If I had never worked after leaving uni, I could now be earning more than I do now for sitting at home having kids. All I'd need is another two sprogs and I could earn (an equivalent when you take into account housing benefit, lower council tax, etc) over £30k a year.
This is the problem, why work when you can spend all day shagging and getting paid a fortune for it? Let's face it, who would turn down a job offer like that?
"Wanted. A keen and enthusiastic layabout couple is required for this role. They will be required to watch daytime TV for a minimum of six hours a day and selling junk on ebay for four hours. No effort in childcare is required, but a new child must be produced ever 12 months to ensure an increase in salary. Salary starts at £24,000 pa with housing costs paid, regular allowance for bankruptcy for none-payment of debts, taxes paid for and childcare "if you're depressed". 365 days a year holiday entitlement. Heavy drinker/smoker preferred."

How many of us wouldn't love the government if they paid for us to live somewhere like that? I agree that it is wrong and thatthey should have to at least try and support themselves a little bit, but when it comes down to it, all of us would love it if it were us getting free money .

It's the Sun..... it says it all... this probbaly has huge legs put under it, but because it's in 'newspaper' it must be true!!!!11
Besides, as said before, it's the ****ing government at fault. Fair play to the people scrounging, if the governments that ****ing stupid they deserve it.

^Exactly and I would think (hope) that family is a tiny tiny minority. I bet they wouldn't make news of the (supposedly) many many more asylum seekers' families' who (might) live in crappy, unhealthy, small flats or so, even if they do constantly search for a job or have one etc.
