Dole Proles

Ah, the joys of a welfare state:

A family of ten is demanding their council give them a ten-bedroom mansion.

The family lives in a three-bed semi in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire. Only one of the four adults works — so they rake in the equivalent of £32,000-a-year in benefits.

Sue says she’d like a luxury shower room, two bathrooms and a plush fitted kitchen — in the posh suburbs of Chester.

"Certainly, madam! Just step right in and marvel at this luxury shower room. Don't mind the vents at the ceiling or the almond smell. Now everyone just wait here a minute, and I'll be right back..."

Eldest daughter Teresa, 33, claims she can’t work because she’s suicidal and relies on her mum to look after her five children...

Can't work because she's suicidal?!? Shit or get off the pot! Why keep cashing in that government check if you don't want to live?

Subsidising poor people only makes more poor people.

I can think of one profession for her. It would appear she has had a lot of practice!

Well, I wasn't going to go there, but now that you mention it, the "medical benefits" that usually go along with that profession would probably help with that depression problem...
