That was a weird confusing sentence. "Mrs Makhloufi, who earns gets £70-a-week in incapacity benefits". I was thinking is she living on benefits given, or is she really earning a wage ? Was there missing punctuation ? I figure the £70 but be a benefit in addition of something she earns from a paying job then, as otherwise she'd not have the income to fund this opportunist.
Sadly she needs someone to help her get over misplaced emotions when she is clearly vulnerable. On the one hand folk should be allowed to live their life as they wish (as long as moral) and make their own life decisions, but on the other hand society has a duty to look after its citizens from their own inability to sense a con: which seems to be more needed as one ages.
