Having been through a tough time, I know what it is like to struggle on low income. However I have always endeavoured to keep in touch with my friends as I advance my own career.
An old friend began seeing a woman who already had children, and he moved into one of the housing association properties with her. At first, it was nice to keep in touch but as I made progress in my career, the friendship changed and was not as it used to be.
This woman is a depressed and worried nanny, smoking excessively because beggars usually require nicotine! His personality changed and they both began to sponge off me big time.
When I was down and they were low on shopping I contributed as expected. I also loaned them some more cash on top, just to help out as a friend. They were having financial problems so naturally I was sympathetic to them. Well I was at first anyway!
I noticed over the visits I made they would offer to pay a little bit back, only to ask to borrow even more a day or two later. I felt that things were getting out of hand so I refused to lend them any more money.
They still tried their best to get money out of me though!
Apparently the womans daughter received a demand for unpaid council tax that accrued when she was staying with her former boyfriend, and during that time the residence was in his name. The amount was several hundred pounds and I told her that she was not liable for this. I even offered to go down the council to sort this out for her, or write a letter explaining the situation so that she would not have to pay what she did not owe.
Of course this wasn't the way the wanted me help was it; it was just a pack of lies.
Social Security stopped payments to them, because of a neighbour misleading them apparently. I offered to go down to the office to help sort it out. Again, this wasn't exactly what they wanted either; it was just another pack of lies to try and extract money from me.
They were beginning to see that their excuses had backfired on them and that they werent going to get any more cash. This is where the friendship went downhill. They really only wanted me for my money and when I didn't play ball, thats when the truth would come out.
he moved in with this trashy council estate scum of a woman...
Our friendship finally deteriorated irreparably when they tried to sabotage my reputation through a string of false allegations. It transpires that this was all a plot so that they didn't have to see and could therefore avoid paying me back what was owed.
I am no longer welcome their house anymore - persona non-gratis!
This friend whom I have known for over twenty years, had never behaved like this to me before. All this happened after he moved in with this trashy council estate scum of a woman.
Beggars will go to whatever length they can to gain at your expense. These spongers on benefit who haven't got the capability to earn a living are out to bring down others. So sorry spongers, you only deserve the minimum!

I am not will but in the pass people have been un pleasent towards me and I have been reduced to tears and fear of losing my flat, my Employment and support allowance, disibilty living allowance and housing and council tax benefit London Borough of Sutton is a nasty place to live and nobody in Sutton talks to me or interact with me but their call me names and are very rude to me esp women.
If you have a problem with any of this you can always just hang out on Facebook - no one is forced to use this site, but if you do a certain level of mature behavior is expected. FYI whining about the moderation process doesn't count!
How can this be right?
Oh, I think we hear from them quite a bit jobby.
OR dose living in a civilised country where people have sooo much money, mean that the child is 99.99% guaranteed not to starve to death? OR
would you prefer to hear about children dying in this country every day because their dads abandoned them ?
I am in total agreement with this one, subsidised breeding and everyone gets it (child benefit) even when they earn megabucks, why?
This cycle must be broken, and broken very soon. There is a serious flaw with a welfare system that allows - even encourages - women to become pregnant with the expectation of State provision of benefits. Child benefit is an example and must essentially be abolished, at least after the first child, or perhaps two at the very most.
Hard-working tax payers like myself really are resenting having to pay for other people's kids. If they have not got the financial means to support kids then they should not have kids. At present, the welfare system essentially is allowing very young people to have children - you see them everywhere as part of the 'buggie brigade', marching through town with an 'as of right' attitude, never having done a day's work in their lives. Children having children has led to a breakdown in essential social skills, leading to rudeness, arrogance, irresponsibility, poor motivation and a lack of ambition.
I agree that some single parents have much to offer. The problem though is the fact that they are single parents in the first place. Many of them should not be single parents!
As for your ex-partner, I advise you to stop making reference to him not seeing his children 'as his partner wont allow it and he just swallows it.' The responsibility for not seeing his children is 100% is, and it is he that does not want to see his children. Claiming that his partner wont allow it is just a means of shirking his responsibility and blaming someone else. If he wanted to see his children, he would see his children - as simple as that.
Dead right they do, but the bankers and the rich have powerful lobby groups so nothing will change; as i have said before, the whole system is based on greed.
Bashing the benefit spongers really appeals to Tory voters and the readers of that most excellent of papers, The Daily Mail (bait for oi)
