Joe Bloggs, 47, from Kettering, says "It's political correctness gone mad. I've had enough of my taxes being spent on lesbian asylum seeking single mothers."
Just had to highlight that bit......
:rotfl:
I've turned lesbian and an asylum seeker all of a sudden apparently! :rotfl:
Sorry, just tickled me, it's not bad enough being a single parent in social housing but now I am expected to be a lesbian and asylum seeker to boot!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

I often flick through the Daily Wail at work. That really is what it's like. And Sue, if you had ANY compassion for those poor DM headline writers you would get out there, find yourself a girlfriend and seek asylum somewhere. Preferably here. While being paid for by the taxpayer. Those stories don't write themselves you know...0

Yeah, I read my parents copy of it sometimes ...my mum usually ends up having to take it off me as I reach explosion level.We made it!

She has not paid a penny of her mortgage debts since February. To make matters worse, they jumped by £800 to a £2,300 a month after her two-year fixed rate loan came to an end this month.
£60,000 kicked back to her on 20th September but she hasn't paid a penny on mortgage since February 2008.
So she had been paying £1,500 a month until reset in Feb when she stopped paying. Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan, = £7,500
I wonder where all that extra loan money went and whether Northern Rock (Gov) will see a penny back of it. Not too sure I believe her dire straits claims when most of that loan money seems to be still slushing around somewhere.0 -
The fact that the people concerned went to the Daily Mail would appear to demonstrate they still don't think they have been greedy etc. etc. Its everyone's fault but their's of course...0

I thought there was no UK subprime? !!!!!! is this then?0

How is it that the headline in the Mail online say "The government" has thrown her out, but in the paper its "NRs reckless spending spree" is costing me my home. is trhe online version saying that the "Government" ie us taxpayers should let her stay there without payin any mortgage, or what?0

I feel sorry for them - they obviously stretched themselves beyond their means
Maybe the original £1,500 mortgage was easy for them to pay. They weren't to know that they would split up, and maybe didn't consider the extra £800 it would cost when the fixed rate term ended.
I can't get over the madness of them getting an extra 60k though! (Wonder what they spent it on...)
It's a shame...[/quote]
Probably,
New taxi.
New car for the wife.
New Kitchen.
New bathroom.
And a few exotic holidays.
It's a crying shame!0
