BBC News: Family life on benefits

I started reading it thinking maybe he's got a point, then saw that they spend their benefits on Sky TV and 200 cigarettes a week. He reckons he'll be £80 down a week if the cuts go through and is whinging about it. I have little sympathy.

Easily done when people use teaser titles for their threads instead of informative ones.

That pays him the 45k a year that would equate to his benefits, with a cheap house chucked in?
