Couple paid £7k a month in benefits left children living in filth with 36 dogs

Officers, unable to breathe due to the stench, found a young girl asleep near a dead dog and...

7K a month on benefits  🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️No wonder people won’t bother working. Pure insanity. 

That is madness, I’d like to see a breakdown of such payments. £1,600 on rent/mortgage, child benefits, and their own £300-400/month. Where’s the rest made up? I’m in the wrong trade!

£84k. Same as the dolescum MPs.

The worst the MPs get upto is cocaine and boys by the hour.

 

One has to wonder how you could do that to you're own kids, unless they were off they're faces on smack ?.

 

Having kids is one of the few things you don't need a license for, admittedly that sounds very Chinese state control.

I'm sure there's a word in German for the vague and intangible, sort-of bittersweet emotion that comes from observing people who have yet to come to terms with an horrific truth. They've got a word for everything, those Germans. 

How about Sackgasse? meaning blind alley or deadend but suggesting pig's bladder or windbag

Ahh, I was hoping for something with a few more syllables to be honest. Similar in nature to this one, for example, plucked at random from the web. 

 

Waldeinsamkeit

We talk about the “solitude of the forest”, that feeling you get when you are walking in a forest on your own. Waldeinsamkeit is a very dear term to the tradition of ascetic monasticism and to the movement of German romance, which promoted the rapprochement of Man to Nature.
