Had a look through the forums and didn't see any topic related to this so I thought I'd start one.

This subject is one which really gets me angry. You may have heard about 'Lizzie Bardsley', that silly woman from Rochdale off wifeswap who claimed £40,000 a year in benefits after having had EIGHT kids. I cannot believe it, £40,000 off the government? Absolutely disgraceful, and the woman doesn't do anything for it. It really makes me angry when my mum and dad have to work so hard for their money and then this happens. NO PERSON who is capable of work should get money off other people like this without working. There is no excuse, given that you are well. As for the 'Well, erm, she wouldn't be able to support her children if she didn't get the money off the government?' NO!! If she weren't able to support any children, she shouldn't have had the children! Isn't that common sense, that you do not get what you cannot afford? Or is it just me? I hate this child support system! Why can't people plan for their children and use contraception?

Benefit scroungers really do my head in. It's such an easy way to get money. If I didn't have any self respect then maybe I'd consider doing it when I'm older.

(BTW, I don't disagree with disability benefit, that is deserved)
