There must be plenty who deserve the whole lot.

 

Unfortunately, the media are not doing a very good job of presenting needy cases IMO. Tonight I was watching one single, divorced parent with 4 or 5 dependants, who had a part time job was moaning about her benifits being cut by £2k. The presenter described her situation as being hard as she couldnt get a full time job because she couldnt afford child care.

 

How about get a full time job, and then you can afford child care? No, I doubt it, problem being she is best off on the state.

 

Doing a few sums, combined CSA payments, benifits and her job she could easily be drawing £800/week tax free to live on. No wonder she was moaning!
