£3,000 spent on Christmas & 'guess what - you're paying for it'

[Chippiewill]

£300-400 EACH? They're on benefits and spoilt? Don't see the sense in that to be honest. That girl has a bloody macbook pro, if you can afford that then benefits should be cut.

Benefits should cover basics and SOME luxuries, not macbooks and Xboxs.

Edit: Why do they need two Xboxs?

[Special]

if she can afford xboxes & macbooks then something is obviously very very wrong

to top it off look how smug she looks
uh i wanna smack her lol

[Chippiewill]

I think this should be regarded as Daylight robbery. She even called herself a good mother despite the fact she doesn't even pay for them. /facepalm

My mother has a full time job and earns less than her. She hates her job and works 12 hours a day and yet there are people like this women who spend the money on luxuries for her kids - appeasing them - and no doubt reinforcing the cycle to them that all you need to be successful is a lot of pregnancy tests.

lol good mother? next joke

Hold on for a second - I thought the Tories would cut your benefits if you weren't searching for a job or doing community service?

Blue Labour do something different from New Labour? I would have thought by now most people would be alert to the fact that both these parties (come election time) often pledge to sort out benefits, clamp down on immigration, stop surrendering powers to the European Union yet when in office do the exact opposite.

The simple solution to sort out the benefits system is to simply say that in order to take out of the benefits system you have to contribute (be in work) for a sum of 10 years before you are able to take out of the system. This would prevent cases such as this, as these people would simply not be entitled to benefits until they have worked for a total of ten years. Of course, by the time they are eligable for benefits and say they lose their job - they would then want to work as they would be in that routine, rather than viewing benefits as a lifestyle/career choice as this womans children are very likely to now do in following their mothers example.

When you're really little you don't care, and you'd be surprised how expensive most toys like dolls are nowadays.
