Benefits outrage

THE disclosure that ‘ Jihadi John’s’ family had lived on benefits here for 20 years is almost unbelievable in demonstrating the incompetence of the whole benefit system. it’s out of control and the officials involved aren’t fit for purpose. This saga came to light only because of the circumstances surrounding this family: there are probably many more similar stories not yet exposed.

if we’re so concerned about granting asylum to the oppressed, would i qualify for protection in the event that the next election results in a Labour/ SNP coalition?
