Jobless mum spends £2k of benefits on christmas

[Pesty]

Ok, I know its not a daily wail link but surely this is a piss boiler in the extremus.


"Leanna, from Croydon, south London – who’s never worked – claims £15,480 a year in benefits, including £111 housing benefit a week, which pays for her two-bed council flat.

She says she’d be a fool to give up her handouts and get a job, as it would actually leave her worse off.

And this way she has enough cash to buy designer clothes and expensive gifts for her daughters Zelekah, two, and Zakirah, one.

Speaking as new figures reveal around 1.6 million Brits in working families are now classed as poor – while the UK benefits bill has soared to a new high of £2bn this year – Leanna says: “Last year, I saved £2,500 and my kids had 50 presents each, including Burberry and Ralph Lauren clothes and dolls, DVDs and CDs."

Not many people in her situation manage money so well.

true. Very admirable.

Pity she can;t manage contraception as well. both daughters were 'accidents' Her words.

She goes clubbing every two weeks. I wonder how long before there is another little hungry mouth to feed.

' Britain still has plenty of stupid people'.

I'd say mostly.

However I don't think she is the daft one. This stupid tool will be getting up at 6 am to drive to Leicester Monday morning, be working all day and staying over night in some st hole hotel away from my home and family so some guys in suits can get rich. Then get stuck in the usual traffic out of the city and the normal traffic jam on the M1 so I don't get back till late on Tuesday.

She probably has more disposable than I do and does not seem too burdened by shame. i'll take a bit of that.

In much of the world, it's the norm to farm children out to grandparents while parents go out to work, often overseas.

No reason why such a system couldn't work here.
.

Sorry but yes there is a good reason why this wont work here now. People have to work later these days and its getting worse.


My mother is Over 65 and still working. my eldest is 16, grandmother was obviously still working where she was young and in need of child care.

So have kids later, when you're more certain you can afford them, and have the necessary support structures in place.

Errrm I'm 41 and she is still working how old do you want me to have them

However we are certainly getting into only rich can have babies territory which hmmmm
