My ex is a full-time parasite and yet has a standard of living way higher than mine
She lives in a luxury 2-bed flat in the middle of Shoreditch. Her fridge is full of brand name products and shit like four shrink-wrapped potatoes on a foam tray, not even loose veg, let alone 'slightly knackered but basically fine veg bought from Hoxton market at the end of the day' which is how a real struggling single mum would shop.

I'm pleased that my daughter has such a lovely standard of living but surely it's wrong that I'm working 50h a week (well, I'm 'at' work 50h a week) and can't have a comparable living standard?

In other news,
yesterday she refused to pass on a message to my daughter that I love her and miss her 'because it might make her feel sad'.

What a poisonous, hateful cunt.

At a guess how much is her rent per week?

(PsychoChomp, Mon 23 Jan 2012, 12:04, Reply)

She gets 'mates rates' off the landlord
but at full price it would be at least £1500 PCM - I'm sure the state pays maybe £1200 of this?

In perspective, to be fair, I could get a grand a month for my flat.
It's nowhere near as nice and has just one bedroom. £1200 for a 2-bed is not that steep.

That means she'd be getting more than three times the housing benefit I get and we're in reasonably similar situations.

I assume you wouldn't pass on a message from Monty to your daughter either.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 23 Jan 2012, 12:12, Reply)

I once passed a message from Monty to my wife.

Not after the last one.
It was a bit 'blue'.

Oh Monty, if you had facebook you'd be able to crack one off over pictures of Noels daughter like the rest of us.

Hmm, she probably will be affected but not by much I would guess.
Hope she doesn't have to move out.

Actually I think her mate is selling the whole building so she might have to anyway.
It is a shame though, it's fucking lovely.

The welfare state allows people to live on a diet of flat screens, trainers and lambert & butler, I'm not sure this is the Chinese model for becoming the strongest market economy

Until our kids also get 21p a day for making Olympic mascot toys we will never be able to compete.

The west seems to think that we have a monopoly on all the clever IP design and technology and all China and India can do is sew up footballs
When that inevitably shifts east what's left?

Can't really get non flat screen TV's any more, so I think that's allowed.

(PsychoChomp, Mon 23 Jan 2012, 12:08, Reply)

Allowed?
You should only be ALLOWED a TV and satellite if you have a job.

That might get some of the lazy feckers off their arses.

No Chompy, the idea that poor people are allowed to own stuff is completley abhorrent to all honest, hard working, right thinking, honest working, hard thinking, right working, honest thinking BRITISH taxpayers.
