Not to mention the wars we are all paying for to protect business interests in oil rich countries. Seriously, this woman is hardly a shining example of UK womanhood but let's not be deluded about where the real misappropriation of funds goes on.

The Public are easily conned into thinking the benefit claiming masses are responsible for the budget deficit due to an ever increasing social welfare budget. But in truth this govt and successive govt's have created the conditions of economic hardship for millions by destroying the manufacturing base of this country together with the Heavy Engineering Industries. Add to this the enormous cost of funding illegal wars and the disgusting actions of the major banks in forcing govt bailouts, then one starts to see where the real money has gone from the govt purse.

Don't forget vast numbers of this so called "benefit class" used to work in these industries and after they collapsed there was little else to replace them. This has resulted in vast areas of the country where there is effectively no hope of finding suitable employment, and what new companies do open up are too busy enticing foreign EU workers from Eastern Europe to take jobs at rates which UK workers with mortgages & families cannot survive on.

So successive govts must take a lot of the blame for the messed up state of Britain today, the Woman in the OP is a sad product of Broken Britain but to sensationalize and demonize her with these ridiculous news stories only distracts the public from seeing the REAL problems in Britain today...!!!!
