Welfare in the U.K.
Would you agree that governments are dysfunctional...
Hugo Gye and Simon Tomlinson write about this in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"An unemployed mother of 11 who is being given a new house by her local council receives so much benefits money that she can afford to keep a horse, it emerged today.
Heather Frost bought a grey mare called Annie for her teenage daughter last year, and spends around £200 a month on the animal's food, vet bills and paddock fees.
The 37-year-old sparked national outrage yesterday when it was revealed that a house worth around £400,000 was being built for her by Tewkesbury Borough Council because she had complained about not having space in the two houses her family currently occupies."
