[b]The couple received a £105,000 compensation payment from Surrey County Council after they were forced to leave the site where they were living in Caterham when it was declared contaminated.
But Josie claimed she didn't see any of the money while her husband gave half to his family and
spent the rest buying x box games and a £13,000 Rolex [/b]

What a joke this country really is, does it really cost that much to hitch up a caravan and move it?!

This is quite fun really. Watching the country decline from afar.

I haven't paid a penny taxes in the UK since 2007, haven't even set foot in the place for 2 years, but I do keep sort of up to date with the news. It seems like the stories about grotesquely obese people, dysfunctional families on huge benefits and criminals getting huge compensation pay outs just keep rolling in.

Fun is the wrong word, it's gratifying, but also sad. Sad because it didn't have to be this way, but gratifying because it was so obvious to so many that it would be, yet the country still chose this path.

People used to lament "Thatcher's children" if someone fiddled their taxes, cut corners or otherwise showed an unhealthy hunger for financial gain. These then must be Blair's children - useless blobs of skin and fat whose only claim to fame is celebrity itself, because a significant proportion of the rest of the country tuned in to watch "My Scrounging bd Wedding." Over 8 million people watched this tripe - that's more than one in ten people in the UK for those who had a comprehensive education.

So in the midst of all this the government, which is anyway bankrupt, and cutting expenditure on health, education, pensions etc hands them £105,00 for having to move sites - they're fking travelers, aren't they?!

And people still pay into this absurd system, people still think that if Cameron and co. set the tax on heated pasties at just the right level then things will get better. Good luck with that!
