While some seem to have to jump through hoops to obtain benefits and attend job centres weekly and compile logs of jobsearches, it's hard to understand why housing benefit plus working tax credits and other benefits were paid in this case for 8 months after the family returned to Libya

once you understand the system it's not too hard to see why this can happen...
i have had to wait 8 months for a decision about a benefit, it was hard to get....

[emmie]

i did get it sorted in my favour, and once in you can see how it's easy to get further benefits...

It may be considered racist to question brown people on their exact circumstances.

Nobody likes to be confronted by wild-eyed shouty people who take to their own language and wave their arms in an alarming manner when challenged on stuff.

Laziness and incompetence.

I'm fed up with my white tribe constantly being accused of racism.
Yeah so what!
Usually Muslim, or Afro, and very loud.
And lots of whites fall for it and hate ourselves.
I hate diversity, we need to stand up for ourselves and stop the PC madness.

The ease of extracting free money from the state is inversely proportional to the probability of officials being accused of racism.

Basically, the more children you have, the more benefits you can claim. In this instance the parents had half a dozen kids so presumably they needed a bigger house and the housing benefit was high. Working Tax Credits and Child benefits would also be increased in proportion to having lots of kids.
Muslim families are not the only ones to exploit the system in this way, there are plenty of indigenous Brits playing the system in similar fashion.
A single person with no kids will not qualify for much benefits and will get little help from the state.

"Usually Muslim, or Afro, and very loud." What is that about?

[Theland]

Its about soft Johnny English being taken for a soft touch.
Why do you think so many want to cross the channel from safe France to easy touch UK?

[Gromit]

// Its about soft Johnny English being taken for a soft touch. //

Except its Johnny English who equally exploit the system with large families.
In this instance of the Manchester bombers, they are muslim. But it is not hard to find examples of white English scroungers doing the same. The problem isn’t solely immigrants.

One has to know who are the WSS and who are the actual unemployed needing help etc before you can do that.

[Theland]

WSS?

One of TTT's beloved TLAs. This time stands for "work-shy scroungers" -- ie, the small handful of people who ruin it for everybody else.

[Theland]

I'm alright Jack springs to mind.

[margarettom]

I find the number of people on telly that start their sentences with 'd'you know what' very irritating. More so than 'so'.

[margarettom]

Sorry, answer on wrong thread. Don't know how that happened!

I believe it's actually worse than that, jim, if you can believe it. ;-)

The Government did everything they could to facilitate this Islamic Terrorist group. They had the same goal, regime change.
