Many leftist Americans are enamored of Britain's elaborate Welfare State, particularly its NHS (National Health Service). However, while British men provide the taxes to sustain this vast cornucopia of public resources, all evidence indicates that women are its primary beneficiaries. The following article describes a single mother who makes six figures and lives in a mansion - all without raising a finger. As ever in the pan-Anglosphere matriarchy, women are set on pedestals above reproof or criticism, while men - the eternal stooges in this sordid melodrama - foot the bill. In Britain, 99% of those living on the streets are men. Women invariably get the best public housing, healthcare and other resources. These 'State Brides' are not holding out for some White Knight alpha male to solve their self-made problems - the pliant, misandrist pan-Anglosphere state (funded by the taxpayer's infinite largesse) does that every time. Let American men beware - Obama's reforms won't help you one jot. Big State government in the anglosphere serves only one constituency: women.
Why else do you think so many women voted for him?
BRITAIN’S benefits shambles was exposed last night by the case of a mother-of-six who receives £7,000 a month of taxpayers’ cash to live in a £2million mansion. Critics hit out at the Government for overseeing a system that entitles jobless Essma Marjan to claim almost £100,000 a year in housing benefit and other free handouts. The money allows her to live in a plush five-bedroom villa in a desirable part of London, close to the home of Sir Paul McCartney.
The 34-year-old single mother says she was forced to move after the birth of her five-month-old son meant her previous home was too small for her growing brood. She even moaned: “The house is lovely and very big but I don’t have enough furniture to fill it.”
Yesterday, outraged politicians called for an overhaul of the system which allows Miss Marjan to legitimately claim £1,600-a-week in housing benefit, adding up to £84,000 a year. She also receives an estimated £15,000 a year in other payouts, including child benefit. Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Theresa May said: “We cannot go on with a situation where families on housing benefits live in million-pound mansions.
“We plan to review the whole system to make sure it is fair. Families on benefits should not be able to live in houses that people in work and not on benefits can’t afford.”
Matthew Elliott, chief executive of the TaxPayers’ Alliance, said: “This is a huge bill, which is clearly excessive. The current rules put councils in the impossible situation of having to pay for houses chosen by the claimant, even if they cost an absolute fortune. Of course people shouldn’t be left without a home but there are plenty of better value houses. This is costly for taxpayers and deprives other people of much needed assistance.”
London-born Miss Marjan found the house in Maida Vale, north-west London, herself on the internet and rented it through a private letting agency, rather than wait for Westminster City Council to give her a vacant property on its books. She then applied to the council for £1,600-a-week in housing benefit, the maximum allowed. She shares the property with her six children, Zekia, 14, Abdulhakim, 13, Jehad, 11, Hamza, ten, and Ayman, two, and Nasir, five months.
Her first four children were fathered by London-born tiler Clint Benjamin and the last two by Pakistani lawyer Arfan Razaq. She has split from both. Describing her good fortune, Miss Marjan said: “I moved here at the beginning of the month as I’m entitled to a five-bedroom house. I was in a three-bedroom council house but I needed a bigger place once my new baby came along. So the council agreed to pay the £1,600 a week to a private landlord as they didn’t have any houses big enough.”
The four-storey house boasts five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a double living room, and a large fitted kitchen-diner with French doors leading on to a landscaped garden. The family also has two flat-screen televisions and several leather sofas, while the wooden floorboards are scattered with her children’s toys.
Westminster City Councillor Melvyn Caplan said: “The whole system is entirely wrong and people should not be able to choose where they live and the Government then have to pay that amount. It is totally unfair. We’ve been calling for some time for the Government to reform this.”
His fellow councillor Phillipa Roe added: “The Government has repeatedly pledged to reform housing benefit but failed to do so. The whole system needs a radical review and ministers should stop dragging their heels and get on and do it.”
A neighbour of Miss Marjan said: “If she has managed to find a loophole in the system that allows her to live here when there are thousands of other people close to the poverty line then it is ridiculous. It’s unfair to other people who have worked hard for their money.”
The exorbitant benefit claims are possible under Labour’s controversial Local Housing Allowance, which enables council tenants to rent property from private landlords and apply for benefit. The rates range from a single room in a shared house up to properties with five bedrooms and the benefits paid out are based on rental figures for the area. The maximum amount is set by central government.
Other recent benefits scandals include a single mother of eight who claimed £90,000 a year to live in a £2.6million mansion in Notting Hill, west London. In total, 16 families are living in million-pound-plus London properties funded by the LHA.

An important point is this, regarding the sustenance of pan anglosphere states:
ReplyDeleteMale violence does not to be proved nor need to occur at all for men to be forcibly stolen from, taxed, expropriated, robbed, legaly violated and institutionally oppressed.
All that is required by the pananglosphere state is for males to bear the infamy, the negative label and the bad reputation of violence.
Only by first placing men beneath contempt, suspicion and hatred can the expanding state sustain itself through the orderly consumption, combustion and disposal of males.
For example the state couldn't do what it does to males in its cheap and risk-free extraction of resources from them, if they were universaly regarded as saints.
So it is perhaps in order for mens activists to understand how important bad reputation for men is to the pananglosphere state. A good reputation for males leads to problems in the states extraction of cheap yeilds from men.
... And what better way is there to cheaply get just about as much the pananglosphere state needs from men than to label them bad, violent or abusive to anglobitches ?
The housing market was allowed to hyper inflate so many rents and mortgages are out of reach for many working class people and the lack of affordable housing built. wages have significantly fallen behind housing costs so where are people supposed to live?
ReplyDeleteIf housing costs were regulated more people could afford and less people would have to claim benefits to live!
