Unbelievable.
Another stupid bint who can't keep her legs closed infects us with 8 of her offspring and STILL isn't happy with her lot.
They have an income - take home income - of £815 per week.
For me to get £815 per week, I'd have to get a job pulling in £65,000 a year.
Why should these scum-suckers get the equivalent of a £65,000 a year income for having pikey kids?*
There should be an upper limit to cover these exact cases. A set amount that's the maximum you can claim whether you have 2 kids or 20.
Vultures.
*Ginger ones at that

? You don't go to work to bring in any of that money.
There is a guy that lives near me that is one benefits and he earns over £10k more that I do. He has 11 kids, a wife and another girlfriend and is demanding an additional council house so that he can have more kids. I always see him in the supermarket buying crates of booze. He also drives a 4x4 and a Mitsubishi GTO.

They have Sky telly at £50 a month, I don't have Sky telly and yet I am paying the top rate of tax to support these people. I know I have started a thread about poverty, but this is a complete farce.
I have done some carpet cleans for council tenants.Most of them have a new car on the driveway, brand new flat panel LCD television, full sky package etc etc.
If you don't mind the irritation of children, it's an awesome way to live the large part of your life for free in comfort.
Unfortunately this is where I fall down because a) I dislike children and b) I have morals and don't believe in taking what I do not deserve.
It is a stereotype that is true, and the only people who suffer "hardship" on benefits are the non-disabled childless people.

It says they have a £20k debt on mail order catalogues.
Don't you have to pay them off on a 40-week cycle? That'd be £500 a week!
It also says that she filed for bankruptcy having run up the debt. Don't you have to pay them off on a 40-week cycle? That'd be £500 a week!
What happen to the parents when the children leave home regarding pensions? They clearly aren't saving any of what they get, it's no wonder we have so many pensioners living in destitute now.
As an aside, would it not be more incentive for people like these to get a job if the benefit system was to be reformed so that it paid the bills directly, and you had to hand over your food and clothing receipt so that the benefits cover basic living costs, and then have just one simple benefit for other things, that is paid into a savings account, and the account has a limit of £1000 say, and when it is at this limit, the benefit stops.

No way, it isn't going to happen, far too many bad headlines live down that road. The childless professional couples will be forced into low paid menial jobs before any of the main 3 even turn their heads in the direction of the "have nots".If an unemployed Pole gets a job as a barista in Starbucks, even for 15 hours a week, his situation improves dramatically. A young man in Britain would be just £10 a week better off than if he stayed at home on benefits. Why break your back for an extra tenner?
The situation is even more pernicious for young women who leave school with low qualifications, because the alternative to low-paid work is pregnancy. A woman with one child and on benefits has, on average, more disposable income than a hairdresser or teaching assistant. With two children, it's more than a receptionist or library assistant. With three, it's a lab technician, typist or bookkeeper. So there should be no mystery about why Britain came to have so many children in workless households (one in five, the highest in Europe). The young mothers, and the young men on benefits, are walking down a road to dependency paved for them by the state.
This is a peculiar definition of compassion. What Beveridge denounced as the "giant evil" of idleness is now being incubated on a mass scale by the very welfare state designed to eradicate it.
