Some of them get more in handouts than she does in salary after tax, and I'm not exaggerating.
I have no problem believing that. Firstly because a family friend works in the local benefits office.

Also, one unmarried couple living less than five minutes walk from here qualify for benefits because the "husband", an ex window cleaner, can apparently no longer work up a ladder due to his "bad knees".

They go "on holiday" about three or four times a year and come back with suitcases loaded with cheap cigarettes and liquor "all for their own use" of course. We know where it goes because we have been offered it for a price, and refused to buy. The ex window cleaner seems to have no problem carrying these very heavy suitcases. They obviously have no problems finding the fines for taking the kids on holiday outside of school holiday times.

They own three houses.....
