A family living in the UK who have been receiving state benefits all their lives will be faced with abject poverty as a result of government cuts in benefits from 1 April 2013.
This is one of the worst cases in the country, where a whole family who have received state benefits all their lives will be forced to move and struggle to survive.
The family have a number of residences in the UK, all funded by benefits. The bedroom tax will hit them hard. They will have to give up many of their abodes and find alternative accommodation in cheaper areas.
Not only will they be moving but they are having to reduce their living standard substantially. Some of their children have never worked, what the government would call, 'shirkers'. They have been given huge handouts from the state, all of these will dry up today.
A spokesman for the Windsor family said, "Mrs Windsor is an elderly lady who has been given vast state resources to live as she desires. Her family have received state benefits to live in luxury, never having to think about work. It is an outrage that the government have termed them ' shirkers" and deprived them of their lifestyle".
Mrs Windsor was unavailbale for comment.

Lamposts for the rich
Yes, well!

I'm sorry but I am afraid your maths need improving. There are exactly 13,989,602 lamposts in the UK of the type that would support the hanging of a person between 9 and 14 stone. If each lamppost were employed for the purpose of "a 'angin" then that would mean that almost 14 million personages would "be 'ung".
According to the 2013 Forbes "Almanac of the post-bailout era of the Rich", there are only 901,882 personages in the UK deemed to be rich to such an extent that they are relieved of the need to work for a living. This includes the entirety of the House of Commons and House of Lords, colloquially known as the Houses of Parliament.
So your intitial assertion that there is "one for each of them" rings hollow and does not stand up to scrutiny. There are clearly far more lampposts than would be required to "ang da rich". If you were to attempt to "ang da rich" then you would clearly have a large number of lamposts left over at the end of your endeavour. I can only hope that your plan involves utilising the spare lampposts for the purpose of road safety, lighting of rural areas, illumination of shopping centres after dark and other such purposes as would be desirable. After all once the rich have been "ung", there will clearly be a need to drive home to ones abode for a peaceful nights kip and one must be able to see where one is going.
Thank you,
That is all.
