The single mother of eight children planning a lavish Christmas - all funded by ...

[Svnla]

TAXPAYERS!!!!!


Let see, got knocked up by 19, had 8 kids, no job, and DEMAND more stuffs from the taxpayers? She needs to come here and DEMAND her rights to be knock up some more and get more money.

Marie, who has been on benefits since she had her first child at the age of 19, admits she can have trouble controlling her spending.

Marie is adamant her children deserve everything they get.
'A lot of people will see this and once they are all wrapped think "how dare she, she's on benefits and she has all these presents for her kids and we only have two or three for ours because we are working full time and can't afford it".
'But everyone deserves a Christmas and why should we on benefits not be able to. For my children not to be able to open a present on Christmas day because we're on benefits, it's just not right, there shouldn't be a stigma for that,' she told Channel 5 documentary Benefits Britain: Life On The Dole.
But Marie isn't just giving her children one present, she's showering them with gifts even though buying them plunged her into rent arrears.

The single mother's relationship with her former partner - and father of all her children - ended last year because he couldn't handle the stress of having so many children.

She also got a present for herself - who brings some extra chaos to the house - a puppy called Patch.
'I felt broody, I couldn't have another baby so I got a dog,' Marie explains

Oh dear me, if I paid taxes in the U.K. I'd have such an opinion on this!

I seem to recall a similar story last year on the Daily Mail. Could it have been the same mother?

There are lots of these stories regularly from the UK. I've seen about 6-8 and I try to ignore the threads that seem to be about them.

Marie's festive dreams come true when she discovers towards the end of the programme that they will be given a larger council house with a garden before Christmas - and her previous rent arrears are written off.


Edit: Now I remember why I don't read these threads about the UK, it just makes me sick that women just have 8+ kids, then spend all the "benefit" money they get on whatever they feel like, rack up debt, and have 0 repercussions.

What do you consider a 'lavish' Christmas?

Oh dear. I hope you sent a stern letter to your local Member of Parliament about this issue.

I'm getting too tired of things like this to care too much these days.

Maybe why it works for em.

 

[Mai72]

Yea Baby! OBAMA BUCKS!

 

[Sir Thumpsalot]

I love watching progressives trip over each other to not only validate, but support such nonsense. It just further proves what a perverse mental illness that liberalism is.

 

[Mai72]

Yea, I know it's in England!

Queen Elizabeth bucks?

 

[OutHouse]

Damn the brits only gives her $3,471.21per month. Thought it would be more.

 

[Sir Thumpsalot]

The sad part is, she (and the Brits) are essentially raising 8 more future permanent welfare bums.

But on the other hand, what the hell? If she can so easily get away with it, why not? Easy money for all!

Merry Fucking Christmas, taxpayers...

 

[Mai72]

Time for me to start having children.

LMFAO the only one who has a problem with this are Americans it seem. The vast majority of British actually support this. I don't know why Sylva who isn't even british cares about this. Her children do deserve nice thing, all children do.

He has a desperate need for outrage and to to feel superior to someone, even if that someone is all the way over in England.

Small problem compared to all the companies and rich people who evade taxes for billions every year.

More Labour voters, right! :thumbsup:

Problem is American's are too cowardly to institute limitations on who can have children and how many. In fact most of the world is too cowardly to tread this path and it's why the world is so fucked up.

Well, lets start with you rightwingers first, since the world wouldn't lose anything of value.

First of all, the nick is SVNLA.

Secondly, condemning bad/stupid behavior is not just for the US but for everywhere.

Thirdly, did you even bother to read the story? No one is saying her kids do not deserve to have nice things but "excessive nice things" from the taxpayers = not cool. Her attitude and bad behavior are what I criticize of.

But Marie isn't just giving her children one present, she's showering them with gifts even though buying them plunged her into rent arrears.

Where did I say I am a better person/more superior to her? Quote me, now or SHUT the F#$# up. Eh?

Its funny how you instantly believe the Daily Mail, but we don't really expect you to read real news sources.

Then provide "real" news sources to shoot down the story. Next!!!

Sorry to disappoint you but I don't fall into the simplistic dichotomy of right vs left. Try try again.

Yup, not lavish enough by progressive standards.
