    She gets over £100k a year for free, at taxpayer expense, taxpayers who actually work and contribute to their society, who also most likely live in abject squalor in comparison, and she has the gaul to bitch about not having any incentive to work?

    You don't happen to have a personal story involving one of those, do you Floyd?

    Did anybody actually bother reading the article? I mean, I understand why you wouldn't, because the daily mail is a rag known for excessively photoshopping to make a story, but there is all kinds of information in there about why statements like "bitch needs to go get a job" and "goddamn muslims need to stop spreading all over Europe" do not actually apply to this case.

    It read more like her saying that simply to avoid looking like a leech. In all seriousness, if she really cared all that much about taxpayer money being wasted, it's not exactly a feat of skill to look in the paper for an appartment she can afford. I just did a quick search and found a ton of appartments in London starting as low as £85 per week that would be suitable for her and her clan until she's able to get her soap crafting business up and running.
    On that note, why was it so difficult for the city council to find these cheap appartments?

    She has her own business making soap, but she pays all of her income to the city council. Thusly, she does not have money to rent her own apartment. It is the council's fault for not doing their job properly.

    I am confused. 'Their' is the proper word for describing possession by a group of people. Unless you're saying that only Robert Paulson is on the city council.

    That may or may not be what I'm saying.
    Fight Club references need make no sense as it doesn't exist, anyway.

    I am ashamed to admit that I have never seen that film.

    Thank you. Phallus references win threads.

    Fact-checking breaks threads.

    Colored women win threads.

    Fight Club references confuse threads.

    Dark_Elf, if you feel the need to move to the United Kingdom, then you have much more faith in your luck than I do mine. Rather than being set up in a sweet mansion I would expect to be paying for other people's mansions.

    Grakelin, there is no shame in not having seen Fight Club. For the longest time I avoided seeing the movie because based only on the title I surmised that the plot revolved solely around combat. (I had been burned by Street Fighter five years previous and not necessarily willing to put myself in harm's way again.) Fight Club is a good movie and you should see it when you get the chance.

    They have probably chosen an unfortunate title, since my reason for not yet seeing the movie is the same as TDC's. Now that that's been explained, I might actually feel motivated.

    This girl who had a crush on me once liked the books of Fight Club's author, so I knew it had a deep, complex plot.

    Was only one girl and it only happened once. That has to suck.
