On benefits and proud !

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ต.ค. 2013
- With a fifth of every pound we pay in tax going directly to support benefit
claimants, not everyone is happy with who gets what.Mum of 11 Heather, 37, has been branded one of Britain's biggest benefits
scroungers. In Liverpool, newly weds Julie and Vinnie have not worked for six years.Julie
is 44 and has six grown up children all on benefits. She does not believe that
a job is worthwhile unless she can have £500 a week left after paying tax and
bills. Her 38-year-old husband Vinnie does not believe that there are any jobs
out there so doesn't even bother looking. The couple get everything they need
paid for in benefits -- including their cable TV package. Taking into account
the home paid for by housing benefit, their joint income on benefits is roughly
the same as the minimum wage.Jobs in Liverpool may not be plentiful, but houses are. In areas of the city
dominated by private landlords and low-quality housing, you can move at the
drop of a hat and even increase your benefits if you know how to work the system.
“That’s a nice posh phone you got there..” “Uh that’s cause I work luv” ICONIC CLAPBACKS. 😂
Amen!
I read this as it was happening. LMAO. I work luv.
Honestly you could tell her friend was frustrated that she was taking advantage..she even said she couldnt afford a house like that while working.
🤣 quite an odd couple. I think they are only neighbors not really friends as the video says.
I know! I loved that line by the neighbor.
I felt bad for the daughter she was so proud getting a job and her mom shot her right down. The point is to get experience not get rich and move up to a better job!
Ugh. That was so awful. I felt so bad for her
I just could not believe she critiqued her daughter that way. She should have praised her!
that was a horrible mother. i would have shown that girl so much pride and encouragement trying to build herself up. the mom has a welfare mentality bad for the whole family. that's the kind of person that should be restricted from benefits
Right? Who puts down their daughter for wanting to support her self, better herself! Yeah sometimes you have to work and be broke to have a place to live. What is the mom saying...
Reminds me of my mom. Some mom's just can't be happy for their kids, especially their daughters. Sometimes moms have an unconscious sense of rivalry with their daughters because they remind them of their "best" selves which they no longer are. So, whenever a woman's daughter improves herself in any way all the mom wants to do is put them down. At least when it comes to my mom. Lost five pounds? "Oh why is your gut sticking out so much?". Get a new job "Well you're not getting healthcare". Never has anything nice to say.
Since this video is 9 years old today, I would love to see where everyone is today. They need to do a follow up.
The first lady with all the kids is still in the news on occasion. No surprise she has more kids.
The others are most likely in the same position, but with more kids as well. Most of the kids would be adults now but also collecting benefits since it's a generational problem now. Once one goes on the dole they all go on the dole.
@@ericeven4090and it is said Gypsies are freeloaders. I beg to differ.
@@ericeven4090 Yes, & I can't believe this mother, trying to talk her daughter out of accepting the job, selling mobiles? You have to start some place & anything can be a spring-board for something that pays even better. It ONLY works though, if you sincerely want to get a job, instead of just having children. These mothers with all these children, need to make sure they care for them all well & make sure they stay in school & encourage them to go onto higher education, no matter what that might be...don't let them all fall into this same never-ending, hand-out, situation!! Your pride & giving back to your community should be the most important thing, you instill on your children...grow up responsible!!
@@ericeven4090 Question is for me is that dole system still so generous as in those times?
Probably still living off the tax payers. When that os all you know is to be lazy
“What do you want me to do, you want me to just go work at McDonald’s?”
Um… yes? Why tf not?
I don't mind helping people who need it. But when the people living off of the taxpayers have a higher standard of living than the people who work to support them, there is definitely something wrong.
They should try bringing back work houses.
I'm as liberal as they come, but this is sick and depressing. I'd be fine letting these folks suffer a bit, but what of all the brood? Those poor damned kids.
Chadwicked B What are you rambling about, fuckwit? Did you just read one word, understand nothing and shit out an insult? Congrats, you're almost sentient.
Agree
Yes! It seems like the government makes it to easy for them to choose not to work. Why work if you can't afford to live making a wage .
The big lady's attitude really bugged me. Watching her take that cash out made me hot behind my ears.
I was taxed over 25k last year and to think it goes to people like her, is hard to swallow.
Shaun Leclerc why so much ?
Must be a high earner.
Margarita B. They actually work for their money and they get a lot. And they get taxed more
Most likely because he's in the top (or near top) tax bracket. It can be infuriating when you personally get up and go to work every day to support your own family...and have the rest taken in taxes that goes to these lazy people.
If I was a high earner and I was taxed that much I would rather see it go to people who are in dire need rather than these lazy people.
"I want £500 every week after I've paid my bills"
I don't even get that and I'm a project manager in telecoms.
She wants £2000 a month AFTER EXPENSES.
She's deluded.
It's how she justifies it to herself. On some level she feels guilty and ashamed so she makes up excuses as to why it's not worth her coming off benefits.
I make $25 per hour and I don't have that much to spend on food let alone after bills lmao. How delusional 🙄
Why work when I can get more than you have by working the system 😂😂😂
@@virginiabeechhere the same, but in euros, working full time, and even I don't have 2000 after all expenses here in Netherland.
I'm actually in so shock by that. 90% of the fucking population would beg to have 2k a month left over after all their bills and expenses are paid.
When she cut those potatoes, right there on the bench top, l heard my mother scream at me from 100 miles away, lol
Yeah, she wasted those peelings...if you are going to peel potatoes that way, at least wash the peelings well & put them on a greased cookie sheet & make chip snacks from them!! A lot of these people could learn a lot from watching much older people & how they never wasted anything & how they worked hard, if not outside the home, then inside, making their children's clothing & taking in work from outside the home too. Both of my grandmothers worked hard all their lives, not only caring for & raising responsible, stand-alone children, but making sure they didn't waste anything & made the most of what they had, even managing to save for things, in the process!!
@@janetbrowning9089😂😂😂i guess african or white all moms are the same😂
I was yelling at the screen myself! So wasteful. Just get a thin peeler, they're dirt cheap.
I’d rather work than raise 11 kids😬
They raise themselves. She does nothing...
@@markj2838 Excatly, in fact, older children raise younger ones... thats how it works
Mark J shes on her back all day legs wayyy up 🤮🤢🤮🤢
@@lalimartinez1272 yukkk lol
Right?
People like these ruin it for honest people who really need benefits. Shameful.
Theresa F Imagine how much better truly needy people could live and better themselves if not for the leaches
Get a dam JOB U SORRY ASS. because of people like u us people that worked all our life that are on Medicare cant get any help on our meds we also pay to see our Dr's u get free rides to ur DR's to.u all pay nothing. Everything is free for y'all i say get a JOB !!!!!!!!!
Theresa F very true im a single mother and to get assistance they want you to keep hving kids smh i have a 3yr old daughter im a college stude nt 29 and cant get help this upsets me
You should read what a so called career woman has been saying to me here in the comments. She has far more empathy for these people and others like them, and insists those of us who are ill and whose bodies won't work anymore after a lifetime of working that we bring it on ourselves and even those in their 80's and 90's should be working and have empathy for these people and god love them if they don't want to work that's ok. This chick has been attacking me all day. insisting I brought on my own breast cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis,and how those who are elderly or no longer able to work are drains on society and these welfare bums are not. I say she doesn't have any career like she said,and she is just another welfare whore collecting and demanding we accept and pay for the other welfare bums. Tontyanna is the name being used. I too feel sorry for the children here because they are being taught it's ok to live this way. Like I said, this Tontyanna has seemed to single me out to attack. You should some back and help me nail her/it's ass. To say it's ok to pay for bums, and those who worked all their life and are too old or too ill brought it on themselves. She's an idiot. Does she really think if we had control over aging that anyone would willingly get old? Or someone would willingly bring on serious illness like breast cancer, or autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, or say, hey, take the disc's out of my spine, and the cartelidge from my knees and have it bone on bone like myself? She wouldn't answer my questions and insists anyone who gets old, or sick brings it on themselves I could use some help to put this cow in her place. I ignore her, you'll be the next she'll attack. If I ignore her, you're next on the list for attack. She needs to be taught the difference between a bum who refuses to work and someone too old or whose body will no longer allow them to work. I wonder if she thinks that way about her mother when her mother gets sick.Does she think her mother will stay 20, or that she will? Please, help me nail another welfare cow lying claiming she works. I don't know of anyone who condones being a bum,and attacks the elderly and disabled and blame us for our health problems. Some are avoidable but disc's in the spine degenerating and gone, and autoimmune diseases like RA to name one are things we bring on ourselves and make us a drain. I'm going to let everyone here know this and see who helps me. Take care and just know, I feel as you do too.
YUP!

Natalie xo Lol true. I get an average income here in South Africa. To stretch my salary I quit smoking, don't drink and stopped eating out. I plan meals and only buy that is neccesary instead of " "want" items. Pay bills on time and pay off credit card. By watching this I realize that although I live in a 3rd world country I have good teeth and way better off than those entitled lazy low lifers.
S Exactly but let people like them tell it, it's Africans and blacks in the dole. We catch the blame all the time and yet here's the proof in front of our eyes.

I've personally never worked at a McDonald's, but I noticed it's used as an insult from lazy people who think they're too good to work there... and yet, they contribute nothing to society.
aannndd it is what their fn diet consists of
"but I noticed it's used as an insult from lazy people" no, it is a classist insult used by people who've been privileged enough to not have to work these service jobs. I see people look down on me every day. As an immigrant, because my medical degree is useless here and I am forced to work these terrible jobs while I figure out whether I should go back to school as a 30-year-old or leave the country I immigrated to altogether.
McDonalds isn’t even a terrible company. They take care of their employees, and there room for promotion.
Working at McDonald's for 3 years as my first job helped me through college, learn customer service skills, and how to be a hard worker in general. I am blessed for my time at mcdonalds. As a college student with no help a bit higher pay would have helped a lot though.
What they mean is they can live better off the government then they would working at McDonald's
"Do you want me to work in McDonalds?" I'd easily prefer working in McDonalds to being broke and unemployed.
They take such pride in living on benefits. Ridiculous
Having a job is about more than money.
Structure. Purpose. Direction. Achievement. Confidence. Pride. Respect. Admiration. Authority. Responsibility.
Depends on the job really. You're not finding most of that at mcdonalds
The hell you can’t find that and more at Macdonalds! The most successful and respectable people alive started at mcds and whooped ass on it!
Witch all the low lives in this video don't have. If it was up to me I would cut everybody's benefits and let the lazy bastards fend for themselves. Even getting free money they still have time to complain about somthing or another
@@squallleonhart6397 But most started there or somewhere similar at some point. Don't ever think your too good to work at the bottom.
Cellex The Blackout hell, it shouldn’t ever be beneath ones dignity to take a humble job as a side, there’s a recession coming and it will be bad...
That mom who was hating on her daughter for finding and honest job and trying to break her spirit was just soo digusting!!
Felt so bad for her kid...
That pissed me off so much. It might not be the best job in the world, but she's such a sad and defeatist woman to bring down her 19 year old daughter who is trying to make something of herself. Serious crabs-in-a-bucket mentality.
Truly at least she has a strong head and will be bbn out of that house and on her own and have pride in herself. I applaud her for her strength and respect for herself .
the mother is just jelly. Very bad mother figur.
Yes I agree poor lassie, my grandson is a I T tech in Canada so sad to hear that benefits Mum discouraging the lassie
Many, many years ago I knew a girl who was left on her own after her mum passed. She had to be put into foster care at age 12 or so. She was in school full time like every other child her age, but as soon as she was legally old enough to work (16?), she found a job at a restaurant. She left the foster system by age 17 and worked 3 part time jobs just to pay rent on a small 1/1 apartment, pay utilities, and put low-quality food on the table. Three part time jobs were not enough, so once she was able to save enough for a deposit for a landline (that was all there was in those days---no mobile phones), she accepted a fourth job doing telemarketing on her hours off at home on her own phone. She lived alone, hand to mouth and never had even one child. By age 20 she met the man she would marry and married at 21. She went back to school and eventually earned two degrees. They paid for all of the tuition and books, etc. They knew how expensive it was to raise just one child and send him/her off to university, so they never had any children. She and her husband were never wealthy, but they owned their own home and travelled a little. They earned everything they ever had and never took advantage of anyone, and never broke the law or did anything that was dishonourable, disreputable, or disgraceful in their society. They were clean, quiet, good neighbours, too.
The moral of the story is you can choose a self-respecting, worthwhile life no matter how disadvantaged you may be, or you can choose to exist like these people. I know plenty of animals that have more dignity, intelligence, and class than these people. I feel sorry for the four legged animals that have to live amongst these two legged ones. These are soulless, vacuous, trashy wastrels.
Amen! I can honestly say that even though Iam now on disability because I had cancer, I busted my butt waiting tables, cleaning toilets and working in machine shops to earn everything I got! And there ain't nothing more fulfilling than that
I admire people like that. My mom had a similar life, but a bit rougher. She had jobs, never finished school, was in the foster care system and expected to be self-sufficient in her teens. She married and had me. But her life has been up and down to this day: working, marriages, divorces, job hunting, moving, saving, scrimping, paying off debt and, yes, needing a bit of help from social assistance for a couple of years until she could find a full time job. Not everyone finds success so easily and quickly. These are the people you're not seeing in these shows, the ones who are honest, hard working and just needing some help for a bit. They would never agree and I doubt the show would find them interesting enough and don't piss off everyone. That's what this show is about.
Shameless moochers, Always got money for the Pub though !
This is your state propaganda against the Social System.
In reality, the British and Americans live in SHIT. If we start canceling pensions\medicine\etc. What's left anyway? House ruins, mold, rain, etc. :))
Your countries are stealing all the money on the planet. The Queen and American bankers. Where's the money? Where do they spend? Are they sending to the moon?
As a single mom, working and trying so hard, this literally infuriates me.
@@haylein9404 bold of you to assume that that place I live is just so easy to get benefits.
Not every country is like the one in the video. Not every government "helps" their people this way.
@@courtneylucas9762 if you're a woman you can get benefits a lot easier than men
Good for you Courtney!
Ignore those lazy, weak and pathetic excuses. Your doing what’s right and showing your kid(s) what a strong women is.
From one single mom to another....your amazing :)
I’m almost on your side there but maybe you should’ve planned your life better before having children
thatkenyannigga you understand that things happen and men leave right? Not so black and white.
My mother was a teen single mom and I had to grow up with her milking the system~she slept around, was caught shoplifting makeup, she took me and my sister to doctors and tell them that we were mentally ill so that she could get documentation for SSI benefits which of course she partied with when I was 17 i got hired by a
7-11 store as a cashier and was so excited when I told my mom she hit the roof because it meant that she would lose the benefits that she received for me. She was arrested the next year for writing bad checks and I found out that she had stolen me and my sisters identities and ruined our credit~she went to jail i was sent to a live in community center, got a job, worked full time, bought a car and have never been on benefits now my mother is close to 60 she's no longer attractive she's diabetic because she's fat and is living in a broken down trailer~because of her abuse of the welfare system when she was younger she can receive zero benefits now she is looking for me to support her and guess what? It won't be happening
Heidi Golden good for you! You stand your ground. Your selfish mother ruining your credit before you even got a chance....wtf?! She made her bed, now she can sleep in it.
You Heidi are AWESOME!!
I dont want to offend you, but your mom sucks. She also wasn't really a mother. BUT isnt the fact that you have grown up to be independent, successful, honest, and stable just a big " F you" to her? In spite, or maybe despite, your rough start in life, you have broken the cycle. You should be proud!!!
Heidi Golden all i can say is i fucking feel you
Heidi Golden good for you, I commend you!
No you do not compromise. They eat what is on their plate,or go without
The Girl at the beginning says " What do you expect, for me to work at Mcdonald's?". The free self-entitlement in her is absolutely disgusting!
She said if she works she misses her kids growing up. Um, if you go party all night, you miss your kids growing up.
Exactly they just don’t wanna work
Exactly excuses your not at work everyday 24 7
“What do you want me to do-do you want me to go work at McDonald’s?” Um yes.. work like everyone else???
McDs salary wouldn't cover her daycare ffs

@@007nadineL so who says you only have one job? Work like the rest of us
You Absolutely right.
007nadineL I agree that costs are just insane in the UK but wasn’t that said by the mother who had kids also claiming benefits in the house? They could watch the younger ones.
Find me a job?find yourself a job
Julie uses everything for an excuse to NOT get a job.
I think the government should set a child rule stating go ahead and have as many kids as you want, but only up to 2 kids will be used when calculating benefit amounts. That would put an end to having lots of kids just to get free money. And even money for 2 kids should be limited. I'd rather see the government paying child care costs for 2 kids and the mother go to work, than paying the mother not to work. Even if it cost the government more money to pay the child care it should be done to remove the excuse, "I can't work because I'm a single mom with kids." I've been a single mom with 2 little kids and guess what - I worked full time. I'm sick to death of people living off of the taxes of hard working people. Lazy, lazy, users!!! Cut the money off and miracles would happen - all the sudden people could work!
Meanwhile there’s people that work full time and can’t even pay their rent on time. How is that fair?
I live in California and can't afford to rent a one bedroom appartment to myself on a receptionist's salary, having a flat of my own without roommates is a pipe dream.

I have the cheapest phone plan and cable internet/tv package the provider offers. I seldom go to restaurants, movies etc. Our house is old and needs repairs. We have learned how to do basic carpentry, plumbing, and electrical work.
"What do you want me to do - just go work at McDonald's?" YES! And train/study for something better at the same time. I went to university full time while working at Walmart and raising a child as a single mother.

She's getting a 6 bedroom house for free and she's complaining about the trains cheeky caaant
Robbie C Only 6 bedrooms... not the 11 that she wanted! Cheeky woman.
But there are crazy people buying that house for 500.000 pounds to live next to a railroad.
She's getting a 6 bedroom house for free I can barely afford the 2 bedroom apartment where I live right now here in the pissed up drug infested rats all over the place new york city housing authority projects, (today's date January 22, 2020) I just got home from work and found a notice taped to my door saying n.y.c.h.a is raising my fucking rent
Have a railroad 100ft from my house with nightly trains and i pay 600 in rent!
I've lived next to the railroad tracks for 6 years now. I hardly notice anymore. Being poor isn't so bad
What's not fair is that she has 11 kids and expects working people to pay. I wanted a big family, but knew I married a man that was more interested in drugs and alcohol. I had my tubes tied when my 2nd child was born because I got pregnant twice on birth control. I worked one job, two jobs and three jobs to support my family until I retired at 62. I never took government benefits. That young lady is not independent she is dependent on the government. I was independent because I did whatever it took to not be on the government dole. I will never see this type of mentality except as leeches because of what I know I did to take care of my family and what we did without. I definitely didn't go shopping and get my nails done.
So we live in Australia.. this year 2023 our 23 year old son announced he wanted to move to the uk and start his oe.. he arrived on his own on the youth mobility visa. He had paid for an air bnb room until he found work and a home. He did go with savings. We werent dumb enough to send him without money and we know if it got bad he could come home.
He had a job within 4 days and 7 months later still there doing plumbing maintenance. Something he has never done. And he now has shared accommodation in Wimbledon. I ask him what its like in comparison to here.. he thinks food is really cheap but everything else is expensive. And he sees poverty everywhere. But he also said his boss was desperate for workers and could hardly get anyone especially locals.
And before any one says hes gone over and stolen jobs.. hes contributing to a tax system that he has no rights to himself.. and that goes towards these benefits for those locals that didnt want to work...
Best wishes to your son! Good job on raising him ❤
12:05 woman has house, food, cable, and everything else paid for by the government. “Tight fisted bastards” she complains
IKR! I literally shook my head watching that, jeez!!!
SHE AINT SHIT
Yeah, I own my own home, but I don't have cable or TV...it's too expensive...I eat modestly, but healthy & I don't ask anyone for anything, if I can help it & if I have to ask someone for something, then I pay them...that's only fair. I'm 75 & have been widowed now for 30 years this coming December. Life was never easy, with losing our 8-month old baby daughter, when we were in our 20's...then dealing with cancer 4 times, from my husband's tour in Vietnam, during the mid 60's...he was a career soldier then, but the cancer wound up taking his life when he was just 51 years old. Life wasn't easy, when he was in the service either, but I would not have traded being the wife of a career military man for anything...it taught me so much about life & how to get by, during hard times. I am still forever grateful for my life & all the lessons of hardship I had to learn...such an invaluable & beautiful life I have lived.♥
The daughter who got the phone job for herself, she is gaining more than her mother could imagine. She is earning self respect for herself.
cant believe the mum is telling her off for it wants her to stay on benefits
@@chrisj6321 and the mom likely wants to control the daughter's benefits once the girl receives them. Not uncommon.
See you get a basic job, work on your skills, work hard and then get a better job etc. Her daughter gets it.
All that money spent at McDonalds, but no money for toothpaste and toothbrush.
I grew up in a very economically deprived housing estate in Scotland back in the '80s and '90s. I ended up making it to university, getting a career in finance, and eventually owning my own company. Watching this is depressing for me because I grew up among this. Even if you work a little bit you can do better than this, these are literally just lazy useless people.
Well said - they are pathetic parasites - what a joke these idiots saying - we have to budget - what a joke
What about that fat newly wed - professional bludger
Could you imagine paying 500,000 for a home and have them live next door. I would go crazy because they would totally bring the value down it would've been a waste of an investment
It would be infuriating. I know some people on welfare who are very house proud and you wouldn't know they were on benefits from the way they behave and take care of things. HOWEVER, they are a drastic minority. Not to mention, they often bring crime with them. If I drop half a mil I don't want to worry that drug dealers (or as they showed in this video) professional thieves skulking about near my house. Especially since you can't own a gun in the UK to keep them out of your OWN home.
and then she has the audacity to act ungrateful of it
We had some move in down a street near us and they spray painted graffiti all over the front big fence. The council made them reduce some if it but there's still a big number of their house and other ugly pictures
love me i would assume they would be put into a government assisted living apartments like the ones here in the US.
They would be noisy and trashy, too.
I'm outrage, I'm a single mom of two boys, one dog and two cats, I'm working my ass off to pay rent and bills without any benefits because I always say there somebody who needs it more than me,,, then I see this 🤦🏻♀️
My husband and I are the same way. We needed food stamps for 3 months and we felt like failures, we have 3 kids to feed so we had to ask. We had some unexpected medical bills. I felt like people were judging me and always looking over my shoulder. I got a job that made double what I was making and we got off real quick. My husband went to college and just graduated. No way we are ever going back to that low time.
@@sarahleroy465 HUGE RESPECT to BOTH of YOU!! It's a sad reality and A SHAME that there aren't MORE AMAZING people like you...hope y'all are doing well with this COVID mess!! Blessings to you both...👏❤👏❤👏
Respect
If you live in the United States or any other country that has stable jobs and the government is not abusing your rights, then you definetly do not need to be on welfare unless you are handicapped and if you become a single mom, there should be a limit like 1 or 2 children limit if you have 3 or more no more welfare...but help on finding a job...it should not be this complicated. There are children sufferring aso called Illegal Immigrants working their butts off for littlt no more to have these ratched individuals abuse the system by keep having children and not wanting to stop or even care to do so.
You’re doing amazing, sweetie, and I’m rooting for you. ❤️
I’m on disability but for my own self worth I give as much time and effort to being of service to my community as I can.
Question, being on disability, have you ever felt a sense of like you don’t deserve the benefits? I know it’s an odd question.
@@rogerdean5313 In the beginning I did, mostly because I was fighting so hard to hold onto my identity, my career and active social life. I’ve accepted my limitations now and I know that I need support but I still feel better about or “more deserving” of the assistance I receive based on whatever time and energy I can volunteer to the community.
I’ve never felt that I was entitled to disability payments but being a taxpayer in my country I felt like my government had to provide some kind of support for when I needed it most.
I do the same, being on disability would love to work part-time, but employers don't want to give us a go especially If you also have a chronic health condition which can cause you to have constant days off work.
As do I.feel ya there😂
Heather doesn’t kno how to keep her knees together.
I worked at McDonalds and I am a single mom. Need to be able to take care of yourself and the kids I created. A job is a job as long as you are doing the best you can.

Please explain to me what immigrant is taking your job when you can’t even be bothered applying for one?
Yeah they aren’t stealing jobs they are hoping on welfare. 63% of households with non native Americans are on a welfare program.
Thank you! Let them work. Forget Donald Trump

@@pandabearclaire1 You NEED to VOLUNTEER WORK every month to receive them, dumb ass
This angers so much! I migrated to the UK with parents who were nurses, we all worked, paid our taxes, when hard time hit, we got nothing! No bloody help! Some can't speak a word of English, but their English gets perfect when they get to the benefit office, others are like these people! Thank God I returned to the Caribbean 11 years ago! Best decision I made! Better quality, of life, sun sea and sand, running my own business! Don't know why my parents took us to the UK in the first place!
This is beyond disgusting. She has the nerve to complain about immigrants taking their jobs. What jobs did they have that were taken? Bullshit.......
they get free housing and they're complaining!? welfare where I live isn't even enough to pay a shared rent...
Kourtni Pullen
Kourtni Pullen Exactly read my post, McDonalds couldn't even pay a baby sitter, there needs to be a better way and it all starts with are leader's.
LOL
Mark R. Yes there is a better way, it's called starting at the bottom and working your way up. It's called going to college, learning a trade, or go to any sort of technical school. Do something and be productive, don't make excuses or use the "leaders" as a scapegoat for personal problems.
The "leaders" are not there to coddle us nor should they mandate what businesses do regarding their pay. Besides, any minimum wage job is not meant as a career, it's a starting place and a stepping stone and that's all it is. Your pay will increase in time as your skill and experience increases. Yes it sucks, but you just deal with it and make your situation better over time.
By the way, I have no problem with welfare/benefits to people as long as they aren't abusing it and are only using it temporarily until they have found gainful employment. We all do need help sometimes, but in the end we should be self-sufficient and take pride in what we do.
Where i live maybe you can get enough for a room, not enough for clothes or cigarrettes. For the needed they offer dinner, not money. If they miss more than 3 days of the dinners they lose the benefit
OMG , I grew up poor but, at least we were clean.
yeah i feel bad for the kids that had to grow up in a dirty home
we werent rich either and probably would have been considered poor but my mom kept home lookin and smellin fresh and clean and she made sure we had great hygiene habits. no reason to be filthy.
My parents struggled when I was little before my Dad became successful in contractor business and no matter how dirt poor we were my mother always kept an immaculate home and my brother and I were always bathed and had clean clothes even if my mom had to do laundry in the sink she always made a way to make things work
Same
Fuck yeah right!? We were really poor too, but my parents worked like dogs for us to have a good childhood. We were clean and well fed and soooo loved. Some of these people, it really makes you wonder...
I despise paying taxes because of this. I have 40 percent of my earnings taken from me on threat of jail to pay for this BS. It would be in my best interests for us not to waste money on these critters
Everything about this is despicable.
I'd rather natives get the benefits rather than all the illegals and diversity people.

Julie was on another benefits episode. She was 46 at the time & moved in with her sister and then found out at age 46 to be pregnant again
What is the name of the episode?
@@mariksen It was on a show called “Benefits Britain” but I think it got deleted because I can’t find it even though I watched it.
Ouch😅
In the U.S. welfare benefits don't pay anything.
I was a single mom, left by a shiftless boyfriend and I was on welfare for a few years cause my dad & his girlfriend refused to babysit while I worked. "We're not helping you. Raise your kids on welfare," they said cause they KNEW if I worked & felt good about myself that I could get out of that crappy little town & actually be somebody my kids could be proud of.
That's actually what I eventually did. I was able to move to the Cincinnati area where I waited tables and I made killer money (averaging about $22 an hour & that was 30+ years ago). When my daughter complained cause mommy had to work, I'd just tell her, "well honey, mama doesn't HAVE to work. We can get welfare again but we'll have to send Brutus (our dog) back to the pound cause we can't afford to feed him. I can wash our clothes out in the tub again and you can forget getting new toys & coloring books on my payday." They must dole out ALOT of money in the UK Cause life on benefits in the U.S. is freaking hard!
Firstly 👏👏Well done MarcyRaye.. I hope you're as proud of yourself as you should be.. I'm from Ireland and being really honest, I made a very conscious choice to leave employment when my son turned 6..I was a single parent, and didn't realise how much my child was missing me/missing out on when I worked. Financially we were marginally better off, but, he didn't get to go to sports and extra curricular activities.. The guilt ate at my soul. Eventually I made the choice to leave work (I was doing 70 hrs a week at the time on minimum wage work).. I don't regret it.. I was needed at home. The benefit package allowed for us to live on a smaller income but still afforded us to live securely. I do feel for American single parents.. It seems like a very difficult life with very little support. I absolutely would never have considered leaving work if I couldn't have managed on benefits.. But yep, benefits in Ireland (and the UK) are VERY much liveable on if you're contented to live on a small income. I admire your determination over the years however.. No one can take that from you ❤
Yes.
I hear you, but it also isn't your parents responsibility to raise your children either...a lot of parent do choose to do this, in order to help out their children, wanting to better themselves, but they are the lucky ones. Every woman needs to make her partner wear condoms or take birth control, if they are going to have intimacy with a man at a young age, or before they are able to stand alone, financially!! That way, you won't be left holding the bag, if the man doesn't stay around; you also won't wind up caught up in the welfare system or on unemployment. It's harder these days, than it used to be, for young people, but back in my day, the mid-late 60's, you took a part-time job, even before you graduated high school. When you graduated, you either went to college or used your high school education to start a career working somewhere...some place that offered retirement benefits, health insurance, sick & annual leave. Some companies still offer those benefits, but some don't any longer. Education will always remain the most important thing anyone can have, in order to stand alone, financially!!
I am so sorry that your family made you feel so bad
What a supportive mum when her daughter gets a job and gets off benefits telling her it's not enough money and she should face reality and stay on benefits. Awesome. Way to go mom.
That's why the whole benefits system is so dysfunctional & why there isn't money for the people that actually needs it & DON'T have a choice.. and on top of this you have immigrants who comes to the EU only to live on & scam for benefits - that's why UK, Sweden & Germany were & are soo popular for them. Immigrants who haven't paid a cent in taxes thinks as it's THEIR free money. And it's their right to get it..
So there have & is a big influx of even more the same shitty mentality.. that also scams the system for even more by faking different issues, diseases & dysfunctions.

@@Megorium Most people with developmental problems tend to be self involved. TBH, I don't think they should have children because they often tend to put themselves before thier children.
They need to work underneath the streets inside the sewers. Actually, that's too good of a job for them.
All those kids she should teach the kids how to clean the house and the backyard. Its disgusting.
The water in the pool was filthy. I thought, those kids are going to contract some type of disease being in that pool.
And guess who’s gonna pay those medical bills lol

I say the never get a bath judge by dirt of the paddle'pool water it was filty dirty 🤮
They can afford cigarettes, nails done, tong piercings, tattoos cable TV, and cell phones oh and pets they have to feed. Hello if they can afford all that they don't need help. I say make them all get a job and then we help, but I think everyone of them can work. My daughter was 18 when she had her son and had worked hard to support him on her own. Now he's 3 and she has her own place . And no money or food stamps from the government, she does get housing help but it is based on her income to how much she pays a month and she pays 400 a month. I'm very proud of my daughter, she is working hard to provide for her son on her own.
How can any of them complain if you don’t like your apartment fix it up paint cheap and so is soap and washcloths and brooms. I’m beside myself that people can sit on their ass and do nothing and then complain about how much they receive what the rules are give me a right go to work.
The sense of entitlement is what gets me. They act as if the government owes them for having kids.
Yeah.. pisses me.off too
sterilization is the key. the current system is designed for people who've never worked......
Yeah, they sure complain a lot for not contributing a single minute of their time to the community. I think volunteering should be a requirement of people who stay on benefits for over a year.
Exactly
The worst is that the children are probably doomed as well.
I thought it was bad in the US, but it definitely looks worse in the UK. Giving people homes worth over half a million? Insanity!
there are many $500,000 section 8 homes all over Culver city and Santa Monica . I know I stayed in 2 sublet section 8 airbnb's there this summer.

Some of these people think they are entitled to benefits without contributing anything to society. Benefits are meant to help you through a difficult time, not to perminantly support you. What are these parents teaching their kids. They should be ashamed.

One thing that will never change. Kids learn by example. I work 2 jobs to make sure my son is taken care of. He is 17 year old, has grown up learning what a strong work ethic is.
No one complains about the royal family of the very big social welfare
No they aren't
True 😮
I really feel bad for the kids, they grow up thinking this is how one should live.
These poor kids are most likely getting pick on in school for having a MUM who is a Dole-Welfare Queen. The paper shouldn't have showed these kids pictures.They couldn't help their situation.Life owes you NOTHING. You owe it to yourself to do good in life & it starts with a education . That is what I tell my kids. This Mother already has kids on welfare. Truly Sad !!!! This is not a way of life . You get NO where.
This is the one sure fire way to breed families of terrible, selfish, entitled, and LAZY people. It's honestly sad and causes alot of ignorance in people. Think about how much you've learned all the years you've been working. Even if its only minimum wage jobs they molded you into a more knowledgeable person in some way. These people literally dont know the struggle. But they think they do.
They take money from the government, how is that bad?
Nefelibata The government takes money from honest people working and paying taxes. If these people stuck a gun in the faces of taxpayers and demanded to be “ paid what they are owed”, we would all recognize them for the thieves and brigands that they are. They are so lazy, incompetent, and morally bankrupt that instead they charge the government with collecting the money at gunpoint for them.
The parents should have all their children taken away. The children should be put in orphanages and then trained for the military. They will fight for their country to repay their debts to society. This is the good and Christian way. Jesus said to follow the laws of your country.
This woman is guilting her daughter for having a job...despicable.
Truly. Yet when they ask her about it, all she has is excuses.
Pumpkin The Brits have almost rid the concept of work.
Abby Normal I hope her daughter becomes a successful sales woman and gives her nothing! To live a life like that for yourself is one thing but raising a child to be the same is fucking disgusting!
Mother shouldn't be discouraging her daughter,,,she should be supportive and encouraging
So she isn’t smart enough to know that receiving stolen property (and now airing it on TV no less) is a crime and a prison sentence
I’m glad the press called out The Benefits Queen!!!
You're an idiot
