A MUM of 13 who splurged £1,700 of her benefits on a 60in plasma TV claimed last night that plans to cap payments to the workshy would leave her family "on the breadline".
"We found it very hard when we had just two children. But, now we have 13, it's a lot easier because we get more money.

Gone: Range Rover Vogue '11 4.4TDV8, Range Rover Sport ‘59, Range Rover Sport ‘56

I don't see what the problem is. I have never worked in my life and I am on benefits.

You don't know how hard it is, I can only just afford my RRS and my 60 inch TV is not even 3D so now I have to fill in a load of forms to get my free 70 inch 3D TV from the benefits office.

Sometimes I can spend upto an hour a week filling in forms to get my basic human rights such as a 60 inch TV.

and those nice people who hide their millions in tax havens like Monaco and then get asked by the government how to improve the economy - they're just as bad. As always it's law abiding, middle Britain who will be hit hardest.

no hard hat required!!!

you are totally right, if you are on 150k then tax at 50% on most of it ,then that is fine, i could handle that, but it is the middle income bracket that is really suffering - i am, i suppose one of the targets of the removal of family allowance, we dont need it, but it was nice knowing that the 80 odd quid we pay direct into an isa would pay for a wedding/first car or deposit on a flat for the young uns!

Noticed one of them in the paper hasn't worked for 17 years through a bad back yet he has been riding in trail bike events or similar, allegedly! When i bust my back up in an accident I retrained (at my own expense I hasten to add ) and went to find something else. I was told there was funding available for retraining from the Jobcentre and I told them the courses I required! I'm still waiting for a reply to the letter and two emails telling them the courses and asking about the funding so did it myself. Even complaint letters to the boss of the local Jobcentre and my MP went unanswered!! Mind you he is labour so he would have been too busy flapping about not getting re-elected..................

We now get people on courses funded by the Jobcentre and you can tell they are just going through the motions so they can keep their brew money intact by saying "well I did go but I failed the exams!" It's quite annoying when they're disrupting classes cos they have no interest.  Current, M135i in Estoril Blue with more extras than the cast of Ben Hur.

VA, you should wear a hard hat!!! I agree on middle Britain but am sure most of middle britain would do the same thing with there taxes if they could afford it as stories like this are why I would prefer to keep my hard earned cash then give it to the goverment to waste it on lazy gits!
