And what experience would that be?
I grew up working class in a town where 1/4+ of the population was on Welfare/food stamps and living in government projects or subsidized housing. I sat and watched as my friends mom's taught their kids how to school the system and who was a cousin of whom and would hook them up etc. It's rampant.
How many of those people were actual social workers?
I think four of them, another two worked at the DMV.

No you've got it wrong: because of the paper it's in it probably is bullshit.

baseless statments tbh.
Bollocks, I did live in the UK for a while, some of it sober, and did know many people on various forms of assistance.
some of it sober lol

many people? how many? ten? twenty? out of how many millions? doesn't make it common. far from it.

various kinds of assistance? like what, disability, family credit, unemployment, what? Much (most?) of it deserved I guess? Or were they all skiving bastards too?

you said it was 'not uncommon' for 16 year olds to get pregnant to get a flat. If it's not uncommon, it's common yeah? Like, a lot of 16 year olds getting pregnant to get housing. That IS bollocks. A Daily Mail headline to be sure. Unless you can prove it somehow, which I doubt, sorry
Yeah whatever, I lived there 30 odd years, pretty sure you didn't.

lol so the response to me calling you out is 'yeah whatever'. Hmmm. Not even like you were giving your subjective opinion but statements based on 'facts' - which you can't provide. You obviously aren't very confident in your own statements; unsurprisingly since in this particular case you're talking rubbish.

You lived there 30 odd years? congrats. I lived in the UK for the first 22 years of my life. Is that enough for you?

So give some proof or stfu with your Daily Mail statements, k?

It was my subjective opinion based on people I've know and still know who have been in and out of welfare, and from 20 years of reading local and national papers.

eg My ex-gf, there are limits on how much cash you can have before your welfare gets cut. She was told to take her money from her current acct and park it somewhere else to maximise her benefit, the DSS agreed to turn a blind eye until she's figured it out.
