She has also been spotted shopping for a brand new $112,000 (£70,000) Range Rover in a luxury car showroom and planned on getting a $7200 (£4,500) boob job.

I...umm...hmm.  So she goes back on the public dole so her kids can eat, but is shopping for a very expensive car and a boob job?  My flabber is gasted.

I am not very good with make up but am sure there is a way to hide things with some cakey makeup. No body gets fired for wearing too much makeup. Also who resigns because they feel left out!!

I'm wondering how many of you fell for typical British click bait horseshit? The pics. look like somebody posed her with about as much class as an episode of 'Baywatch"  All that's missing is her holding some phallic shaped tool with a "don't you want me" pout, and some stripper glitter on the face.

....and these are two examples of what is wrong with the modern entitlement based welfare state. 

Back in the day, with their attitudes being piss poor towards work and helping themselves, people of real charity (hand up, not hand out) would have told them to eff off, said bad attitudes would have been properly adjusted by their rapidly increasing hunger over days and weeks until they managed to become productive again, thereby alleviating said hunger.

Lines from the article:

You’ve got women in the police force, in the Army, we have the skills ... She said she was now almost finished her diploma, expecting to finish in March

So, what skills do you have if you're still in training? 


The former lap dancer ... Marie said she was determined to stop sexism in the industry.

Yeah, if you want to stop sexism, working as a lap dancer is a great start. 


Does anyone think she's all that pretty? 
I do notice, though, that in the mechanic pictures, all the grease spots are on her boobs.  Did she put them there herself, or was it the "big dirty perverts"?

The pictures left me wondering why she wasn't in a button up uniform shirt with her name on it or fully wearing overalls like the typical mechanic. You know - if you don't want guys staring at ya, cover up a little. Minimize and hide what interests them.

I know, I know - in a perfect world women could walk around in beach wear or only part of their swim suit - and nobody would ever bother them - but we aren't in a perfect world.

Yeah, clickbait.

Umm...yeah. The Sun? Seriously? That's like the National Enquirer here in the States. But don't let that stop you all from your Recreational Outrage.

No car dealership is going to sell a woman on welfare a $100,000+ car. Window shopping at expensive dealerships and "planning" to get a boob job are the same kind of wish-fulfillment b.s. we've all seen tons of young people engage in. It isn't better or worse because someone poor is doing it.

You may want to do a little research on the myth of the welfare queen. It's been used as an excuse for all kinds of nasty patronizing laws that treat poor people like children with no judgment. It allows those of us with money to believe that we all deserve our wealth and that poor people deserve their poverty. It allows us to automatically treat others as lesser beings rather than actually do the work of getting to know them. If we know them, we might actually feel guilty about our refusal to help.

A colleague at work has a wife that works in a car dealership.

She had an unmarried couple come in wanting to buy a $50,000 car together.

One was on welfare.  The other was on unemployment.   

Ignoring the sources of their income, no way in hell were they going to get such an expensive car loan just based on the total income they had.

When told that they did not qualify for a car loan, they got really indignant and started yelling.   They made an angry comment that "I bet those worthless soldiers could get a loan!".

That was said in a military town to the spouse of a military veteran.

She kicked them out of the place and gave them a piece of her mind on the way out the door.

And her boss gave her the rest of the day off, fully paid, because he realized she was (a) right and (b) going to be wired for the rest of the day.

So, yes, there really are poor people out there with a badly calibrated sense of entitlement.

Just like there are rich people out there with a badly calibrated sense of entitlement.

NO group of people is completely immune to any given sin, and NO group of people is completely incapable of any given kindness.

Hahaha.  That's what I was thinking.  The only thing anti-Mustactian about this made up story is that you'd have to turn off your brain to believe it.

Up next, the Loch Ness Monster has nothing saved for retirement!  Repeat, NOTHING!

Some of these British rags are worse than the enquirer. They have these slightly unbelievable stories of people obviously posing and bragging about their bad behavior, to get people outraged and worked up. The Sun is owned by Rupert Murdoch and while I do have fun reading some of the stories, the subtext is that of making despicable some set of people, usually people on welfare and women. I'm not a raging feminist but the misogyny of that paper frankly oozes. This is not the first time I've read an article in that paper about a women bragging how beautiful and what a pain it is, simply to bait other people to respond and beat up on her "she ain't all that". Which just reinforces women being judged for one thing only, how "hot" they are.

Yep, and the reason that someone is being braggy and working people up is that they are getting paid for the story or sold a lie about how this is going to kick start their modelling/blogging/reality TV career.

This story just doesn't represent the Britain I see.

Well if she won't be allowed a job as a mechanic, perhaps she could continue to wipe up oil and be an environmental protection engineer instead? May even come with a pay raise.

hmmmm... I went into the environmental protection field after I got out of the Coast Guard and it was a dirty job too. I think I'm sensing a trend here for women ;-).

They are certainly equipped to handle it...

higher pay would be based on your bra size? The larger the more oil soakability. If that's the case I'd be paid less than minimum wage. Of course it would be a justifiable reason to get breast enlargement - I "need" it for  my job ;)

I am in no way qualified to comment on how a woman's body works, but 8 kids would appear to me to mean a lot of milk production over many years... would all of that effort contribute to natural size increase anyway? Or do working boobs shrink on retirement?
