You get £1800 for each appearance which is why they all say yes to a D.N.A test as you have to go back and hey presto- another £1800. You also get a night in a hotel with a free bar.
All very attractive to your average benefits scumbag.

I just wonder though if all the recipients of this money who are receiving benefits (very likely the majority of participants), declare their 'income' to the DWP?

I suspect not.

Although the majority are probably so thick that they would deny they received any additional income despite millions witnessing them 'earning' it.

Yes, there has always been an underclass; however historically the underclass probably worked the hardest of all and at least kept themselves....and now they generally don't work at all and our kept by the taxpayer. They also breed the most (ONS stats show that the bottom of the educational scale breed the most...the top of it the least) and that means that the problem they represent is slowly growing.

As I said, I think there needs to be some incentive to get them to use contraception and get vocational skills....at the moment there's a bigger financial incentive to put out sprogs and sit on their backside.

True, but they're not breeding, in the main, for benefits, that's a fortunate bonus. Those in the higher education bracket breed less, but also have less partners to breed with, as they're self respect is high enough not to need to jump into bed with the first bloke that buys them a bacardi breezer.

The reason for high breeding rates are due to more complex social and psychological problems, not benefits.
