Daily Fail raises the bar again...

Comment on the Guardian article about Cameron backing Osborne hits the nail on the head.

So much misinformation and missing the point surrounding the Mick Philpott case, even from people on the correct side of the debate. For me, it boils down to these points:

- He wasn't getting £55k in benefits. He wasn't getting a penny in benefits.

- The 2 families in that house weren't benefit-scrounging layabouts; the two women were working. Because they were low-paid, they received working tax credits, as does anyone in low-paid work.

- His wife and girlfriend were paid child benefit, as is anyone with children unless they're rich.

- Their rent was topped up with housing benefit, which they never saw a penny of because it's paid directly to their landlord.

- Mick Philpott was extorting money from his wife and girlfriend. The fact that some of their money came from benefits is neither here nor there.

- He didn't have 17 children for the child benefit, he had 17 children because he was a serial abuser of women and liked to control them by keeping them perpetually pregnant.

So this isn't actually a story about a benefit sponger at all. He was a wife beater, drug dealer, attempted murderer, and probable tax evader, but anyone who uses this case as evidence that the welfare state is fucked is barking up the wrong tree.

This is nothing. I tuned into LBC earlier today and that Ferrari tnuc actually said Welfare is directly responsible for the death of those kids.

Daily mail seems worse than fox..

You wouldn't believe, read that headline then go on their website and witness hypocrisy in it's full glory, It's sidebar is more vile than anything societies 'underclass' can produce.

Daily Scabies readers don't read beyond the headline and first paragraph... if you read the last and second to last paragraphs first then you will see they contain the facts, everything in front of it is opinion and lies (kind of like a murder mystery novel).
