    That trollop with 8 kids was an absolute insult to hard-working people.

    £24,000 a year in benefits and debts written off like that... It's disgraceful.

    Why should she pay no rent to buy Christmas presents, then get away with it?

    I'd like to hear the equally odious Esther McVey explain how these serial scroungers aren't ever properly challenged, yet her party has a vendetta against so many genuine cases that have resulted in people taking their own lives. The system is totally rotten.

    Why where her debts just written off I wonder?
    I've heard of people whose bodies are wracked with pain, being denied benefits.
    Genuine people are victimised, people like her appear on tv, and debts wiped away

    :confused:

    Yes I know, I would have liked to have had more explanation too.

    Why can this woman not work? It was her choice to have 8 kids, so why should that be a reason for not working? She knew what she was doing.

    What a slap in the face for people with real medical issues having to fight and fight to survive with cutbacks, just to watch her driving about spending and boasting how she hasn't paid this that and the other. Did she know it would all just get written off and she could just move on, getting yet more and more from the state?

    The sad thing is, are those kids going to choose a life of benefits and having kids just to get more income, and this cycle just goes round and round?

    I only watched the first 10 minutes. Did Marie have all the kids by the same man? Where is the father now?

    And what about the second mum with her mixed race child. Is the father still with her?

    Aye, it's the same jockey for all of them. Wonder how much the feckless prick pays towards them? That other fat boot irritated the f#ck out of me as well with her moaning that 'they don't pay her enough'. Her mum put her to shame with her efforts to get back to work.

    I agree. That lady was determined to get a job and look what happened... She got one!

    Good luck to her... She did really well

    If they cut her benefits to £72 a week, she'd soon start looking for a job.

    She says that's why she doesn't look for work, because no job would pay as much as benefits.

    This place reminds me of that film The Road. All post-apocalypse hell. And why the hell has she half her teeth missing when they get free dental treatment on benefits?
