Lets keep this in perspective shall we ..... we don't know the facts, just the media speculation. |
What? I did say IF

From your link

Piggford had just returned from another holiday in Marmaris and told friends she had met a new man.

Despite being on benefit, Piggford has spent just seven days in the past five weeks at home with her children.
|
7 days in 5 weeks?

"Before I left I did a £60 shop I left money for electricity and gas bills, and clean clothes. I have been selfish but I needed to get away. To be honest, I have hardly gone out since I got here."
|
£60 to last at least 2 weeks for 3 kids?
Quote:
Piggford stayed abroad while her children were removed by social services two weeks ago, claiming she did not have a credit card to alter her £219 return flight.
But she managed to enjoy the delights of the resort's Beach Club, Vegas and Seaside bars, downing free booze before getting up late for an English breakfast as she prepared for another night on the town.

Nice to see she was concerned about what was happening to her kids then
Quote:

Piggford, claims £186-a-week in benefits.

Quote:
|
She admitted she only spoke to her children once while she was away, from a phone box.

One call in 2 weeks? Wouldn't most caring mothers try to call at least once a day to say goodnight to the kids?
If any of these quotes turn out to be substantiated then I think she has a lot of explaining to do.
