Government at Work - Benefits in the United Kingdom
In the U.K. Daily Mail, Barbara Davies tells this story:
"What sort of country gives £1.2m benefits to an odious family like this? The drug-dealing dad, his 22 children (including an armed robber and a murderer) and state handouts that prove Britain's lost its marbles.
Given that Raymond Hull is a serial criminal with 32 convictions who has fathered 22 children — aged from 39 to little Barry — with 11 different women over the past four decades, some will find this decision hard to fathom.
For Hull, a former builder’s labourer who hasn’t worked for ten years and has spawned a feckless family dynasty thought to have cost the taxpayer well over £1 million to date, is something of a poster boy for Broken Britain."
