take a family up north with 3 kids....rent say £6000 housing benefits....then another £6000 a year free handouts free prescriptions is plenty imo...then one of them must work the other part time ...then the kids go to school ad it frees up time....theres also more help with childminding
why should they simply get more than £6000 tax free cash for doing nothing?
and Id pay child benefits in childrens vouchers

£6000 rent plus £1000 council tax plus £1000 utility bills and those are conservative estimates for a family of 5. That leaves £4000 for a year.
£77 per week. Or roughly £15.40 per week, per person. For food, clothes and transport?
I can only assume you're joking about that being "plenty"... How would they even seek work? My transport to the nearest town for work (5 days) is £25 per week
