  • And I have helped Tulisa and her 5 kids in the council house down the road with all the NI payments I have paid but when I need some help I get nothing. That would be a true screw over

    I doubt your Ni payments have funded a lone parent in social housing. I note you have managed to save thousands by living at home for a nominal rent. There is no need to sneer at others who are less fortunate and have no parents to sponge off.

    What are you on? its called sarcasm, you seriously think that I literally meant that I had funded a loan parent?

    In no-way is it a sneer at anyone, my point was other people get benefits so shouldn't I be able to.

    Whereas your comment was clearly some sneer/jelousy towards me just because I have been able to save some money. Calling me a sponger your having a laugh, I pay my way. I can only assume you are a single mum yourself who was probably kicked out for getting pregnant very young. Maybe I am lucky to have decent parents who don't treat their kids like crap like some parents do. Thats just the way it is.

  • What is a loan parent? Is it a temporary condition.


    You don't get benefits because you don't qualify for them. That is the rules.

    Yes I am a lone parent who works. My husband is dead.

    If you feel the need to resort to personal insults, then clearly you have nothing useful and relevant to say.

    Finally, I may be a lone parent, but at least I can spell.
