I think there will be many benefit claimants and many Elite members who all do good charity work and try to provide things for those worse off than themselves. There will also be those that take the mick and do all they can to make sure they do the best they can for their families, no matter what they need to do to achieve it.

In life, there are good guys and bad guys and it is impossible to decide who is who. Maybe it is time for us to tell our MPs how we feel and hope that the benefit rules are changed to be fairer to all..:D

However, if we hope that our MPs improve the benefit rules, how will we, the Elite, police ourselves so we stop shafting Sada and breaking their rules at every opportunity?

But again, she was probably paid quite a lot by the magazine, and I suspect that what she actually said was nothing like what ended up being written. Boring stories don't sell.

I am a single parent, work part-time, get benefits and go on nice holidays. Clearly I am a terrible person with no morals, screwing the system!

Clearly, I could give out a lot more information about the above, which would make it sound far better than it does the way I have written it, but its no one else's business. In a similar vein, we don't know the first thing about the family in the story other than what the media has chosen to publish.

As I said previously I don't know a lot about benefits but working tax credits aren't like other benefits are they? They aren't issued by the DWP and are given to people who work. I actually think they are good if it means it can make it more affordable for people to actually work rather than the alternative....which they would be slated for.

It's also a very slippery slope when people in certain circumstances are judged for which shops they go in to. I personally wouldn't like to see a society where we say......you are on benefits, you can't go into a designer shop :eek:

My cleaning lady.....who is an 'immigrant' by the way. Works 2 jobs, has 2 very young kids and gets tax credits. It means she can work part time and still be there to look after the kids when needed. She's also just started studying for a degree, which she's paying for herself. She doesn't claim any other benefits. Some people come here for a vastly better life and as such are prepared to work hard for it.

Its so easy to manipulate stories, and even facts and figures into an agenda that you want to push. Sadly, with an election round the corner, thats all we're going to get for the next month. Each party has its own agenda and wants to get elected, so be prepared for an onslaught of stories specifically designed to cause outrage about certain topics to encourage readers to vote in a certain way.
