[IB1]

My mistake, I thought we were talking about £500/month, not £500/week.

Ah, ignore my ranting then, still it felt good to get it off my chest

i worked with the home less and people on the dole and not once have i ever seen them on that sort of money me thinks you are reading the dail mail to much guys

The £500 pw includes housing benefit not just handouts to the bone idle and work shy, at least it better do.

And nothing all to do with the Daily Mail, the article was quoting all the bleeding hearts saying how wrong it was to restrict the poor deprived little families to "only" £500 a week for doing sod all.
