  • * She was fraudulently claiming, not him. Just to make that clear. A family torn apart over greed. Things weren't great for years but throwing a father out because you thought you'd been caught for wanting that little bit more that you're not entitled to. Given massive amounts of money to take care of bills, bill money spent on MAC and River Island, claim benefits not entitled to to cover secret drug habit, throw father out AND pass on the debts you've ran up too !Nasty piece of work....

    And I know, not all unemployed PWC are the same! She's one in a trillion!

    i didnt say that we should make the bin men unemployed... thats an example of one of the many jobs people could EARN Their benefits doing...

    come on, look at the state of the streets... are you saying we couldnt do with MORE people cleaning them?

    I think you, Labrinyth and a few more want to keep your 'trying to be snooty remarks/suggestions' on what people should be made to do, to yourselves.

    You have between you 4 or more households/sets of children, who are costing a mint in benefits but you both think as you do a few hours work a week you are not in that tarred category, you both keep harping on about.

    i have 4 sets of children? or? I have 3 kids. 1 with my ex, 2 with my current wife.

    and... hmm, i do a few hours a week?... 40 hours a week, is a few?

    and i did a hell of a lot more previously but due to ill health cant keep up like i used to.

    working a job 9-1 then 2-11 three days a week, and then 3-1am two days a week.

    i had to give up the morning job (self employed gardener) as i couldnt physically do it any more.

    so this small mint that i cost in benefits... explain this to me...

    and hell, i will happily work any job i physically can... MY DOCTOR has been telling me to be on sick for ages (over a year)... but i still go to work etc. Ive been on SSP since the start of dec. but Why shouldnt I claim SSP if im entitled to it? I pay my tax's, NI contributions, and am entitled to upto 28 weeks of SSP.

    I am actually looking for a different job which will suit me better...

    Ive worked since i left school. even when i claimed JSA i worked. and was worse off for it!
