Bollocks, as usual

step daughter - feckless single Mum - been desperate for work, not very well qualified so can only get s**tty jobs on minimum wage, which would be fine except for the zero hour contract that goes with them. Takes the jobs hoping the hours work out, signs off. Job don't last (wide variance in hours, don't add up to more than a dozen in a week) but benefit office stops everything (except child benefit) for four weeks whilst they 'review'. Not the first time, won't get back dated - and the bulk of it anyway goes to a rip off landlord for a damp flat.

Not going to make any Daily Mail articles with that one, but there's many more of them about than the few idle lead swingers who grab all the attention.
