Dole Scum Scrounger
Mothers brother-in-law has never done a days work in his life. After a lifetime of scrounging benefits he and his wife, think it's their right to be given money by the government.

After they had new a new kitchen and bathroom fitted at our expense, the council workers discovered damp in the house and arranged for new damp proof courses to be laid. All free of charge and the work to start the following week.

This wasn't good enough, he decided he and his wife should be put up in a hotel and be given compensation. They had the house free ffs. They were even trying to get the council to give them a free loft conversion.

Bearing in mind he'd told my mother to piss off in front of me the week before:

Time for a letter from the council...

Mrs Mbeki-Ktanga CDM, wrote a nice letter to him, on a previously scanned council letterhead, letting them know they had been booked into a nice hotel for the week the works would be done, this included breakfast and dinner. She also told him that there would be £100 behind the bar for snacks during the day, read vodka, he being a bit of an alchy...

He rang my mother on the monday saying he wouldn't be able to pop round as they were packing; the council had put them up in a hotel. He told my mother that he was trying to get the hotel to give him the £100 the council had put behind the bar.

He had also shown the letter to everyone of his neighbours and the council workers to show what you could get if you complained and demanded compensation.

Mother rang him back to explain just before he got into the taxi. I had told mother to go to the hotel with the video camera.
