I've always said benefits should be in the form of food coupons etc not cash. coupons with a name on and require ID (so they can't be sold on)

Simple solution, you claims benefits, you CANNOT have a passport, you don't need one, end of!

Well she's no different from the Crown, the BBC and the MPs who use our money for all of their luxuries too.

Whatthehell, that was a great response. Thank you. Actually, if I did write to the BBC and they couched a response similar to yours then there is a chance I could get a freebie as a restraining order might be considered as the result of a criminal... [read more]

What a complete slap in the face to every hard working,tax paying Brit who can't afford to pay for a holiday. It's bad enough our pathetic benefits system allows this type of thing to happen but it's even worse that the BBC then goes and promotes it... [read more]

So she's turning "her life around" hey? Hmmm. Perhaps she should have picked Devon, or the New Forest, or somewhere equally as quiet, as opposed to a holiday island notorious for the drunken antics of its visitors. Or is she planning to steer clear of the nightclubs and is just going for the scenery?

She shouldn't be eligible for benefits! She isn't over 65 or disabled so get to work! @whatthehell: unfortunately, your comment is so true
what a sad state this land is in.

If she likes drinking so much she should stay in Cyprus where she hasn't got a booze ban then she can drink as much as she wants there.

Dear Exakta, It is with deep regret that I must inform you that the BBC has looked closely at your request for a holiday and rejected it for the following reasons:- 1. You admit to working all your life, thus contributing to "the pot". 2. You could... [read more]

"The jobless alcoholic saved up her benefit for the two-week trip to the infamous resort in Cyprus." If she can save enough to go on a holiday like this, then she is getting to much of our cash. This now makes a case for all benifits to be looked at,... [read more]

Of course, she will see the errors of her ways and return determined to put her past behind her, I don`t think. Pleas, BBC, I have worked all my life, do not have a criminal record and would like to go abroad for a holiday. Can you help me?
