Well, aog, Mr Lineker’s £1.3m will pay for the UK’s overseas aid for about an hour or its contributions to the EU (not counting the latest “surcharge”) for about 80 minutes.
It will also pay for about eight of these houses:

It might pay for houses and pocket money for this lot for two or three years:
http://
It will pay a year’s keep (but not housing, apparently) for about 40 of these:

But there will not be much left over to help with this problem:

And there most certainly won’t be anything left over to tackle this ignominy:

/// ah, the tax people again deciding - retrospectively - how much of your money they're entitled to take. ///
I think you will find that it is the Government that decides that, and if they didn't who do you suggest should?
And if it was left to the individual who would pay for all the services etc that you, I, and the rest of us receive?

I have a long term stance of viewing the unemployed as luckless unfortunates, who have been employed but got sacked or made redundant and in need of a safety net.
I must therefore thank NewJudge for his post, in terms of opening my eyes to the kind of lifelong freeloaders who, I now realise, are the people other people habitually talk about. So that might explain why all my soapboxing about the safety-net category never got the faintest hint of a warm welcome.
The 26 kids bloke: in a generation or two, will the Isle of Wight need its own app like the Icelanders use, to make sure they're not about to unwittingly get off with one of their closer cousins?
It's particularly galling because, while working I decided that my paltry salary wasn't enough for me, let alone a wife and kids. Being single, I never got into conversations about parenthood so I was clueless about the fact that working people still got child benefit. I chose not to raise a family based on ignorance while those in the know workbthe system and raise a herd. Tell me how I'm supposed to remain calm about that?

apologies for not having any suggestions, I can't even think straight at the moment.
