Quote Of The Day.

From the "Thoughts on Freedom" blog on the mother of Octuplets in Los Angeles:

Her publicist (!) provides the money quote, as he explains:

“In Nadya’s view, the money that she gets from the food stamp program … and the resources disabilities payments she gets for her three children are not welfare,” he said. “They are part of programs designed to help people with need, and she does not see that as welfare.”

It’s only welfare if you don’t need it… Priceless!

You have to wonder how many of our own permanently-unemployed think that way.

"It's not handouts, it's me entitlement, innit? I get this so someone else can have a job."

Like the shop stewards of old who were determined to put their bosses out of business, how many of them realise where the money comes from?

How many of them, once they do understand, care....?

A fair few, judging by repeated viewings of the Jeremy Kyle show.
