boyfriday Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1318028/As-families-face-benefits-cuts-Kelly-Marshall-spent-4-500-BOOB-JOB.html http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/features/3166938/Breadline-mum-got-60-inch-telly-on-benefits.html I'll quote it from 2 different sources as I know some people instantly dismiss stories from certain newspapers. A message to those NOT in favour of clamping down on benefits. What do you propose we do with "people" such as those listed? To elaborate, they use their benefits for breast enlargements, liposuction and other cosmetic surgery as well as a swimming pool and 60 inch plasma TV. Feckless Kelly has done a lot to alienate Joe Public from the genuine plight of single Mum's, so shame on her However didn't the Mail know just know how to rattle the ribs of the average reader? A homely picture of the avaricious family sitting on their CSL sofa and clutching the electronic toys that have been purchased with the mother's ill gotten gains!

INTERVIEWER Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Then the system needs to be changed. The benefits should be paid 'in kind' and limited solely food, accommodation, heating & lighting and adequate clothing for her brood. Let her go out and earn the money for everything else. But Kelly Marshall cannot command the sort of salary necessary to support her family - she is unskilled due to the appalling state of the British education system. Which the political class, over the last forty years, is directly responsible for. The families mentioned in the newspaper articles are but SYMPTOMS of the real problem, which is the global market economy. If Ms. Marshall is unable to feed her family, should they be left to fend for themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

INTERVIEWER Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Can anybody please explain how families legally claiming benefits causes "everyone else to suffer"? I thought it would have been quite simple, but the OP is remarkably silent about this. I wonder why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magilla Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Of course you won't. Simply because you can't. Deja-Vu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Ms. Marshall is unable to feed her family, should they be left to fend for themselves? Even if she wanted to work, there's no way she could. She'd probably need to earn £25k to be able to cover the childcare. If she doesn't posses any skills such a figure is totally unobtainable given the type and shape of our economy today. She's simply got her own interests at heart in saying that she would like more money. This is similar to the way in which people vote in that they vote for the party which they feel would benefit themselves the most. This is why you have the anger from those who voted Tory who are having their child benefit cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convert Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Can't feed 'em? Don't breed 'em. Bang on the money. It's time to: Limit Child Benefit payments to 2 Children (aged 16 or under and / or in full time education) Pay ALL benefits on a voucher / card system; with limits as to what they can be used for - no 60" Plasmas or 36DD hooters.
