one of the marvelous benefits of a welfare state or, just another form of squatting

Do any of you folks here blame this young woman?
Think about it.
She’s been raised in a culture that encourages her standards. Or lack of them.  The examples she has grown up with, are the norm. Not the abnormal.
Does she understand right from wrong?  I would bet she does. However,
She’s been taught that it doesn’t matter much and life is all about good looks and taking what people seem happy to give. And naturally, she’s happy to take.
Poor girl. Unless she lands some hopeless wealthy older guy to marry and then divorce taking half his money, once whatever looks she has are gone, she’ll be up the creek without anything to row,row,row her boat with, miserably down the stream.

And … I don’t think she’s all that great looking. Others of course will differ.

‘I walked out of jobs because I had to get up too early or I got bored’

Most of us would quite like to live a lifestyle where we never had to work, but could spend all our days shopping, getting beauty treatments and watching TV.
Kaycie Yates has that dream routine - all thanks to handouts from her mum, and benefits of around £800 a month.

The 20-year-old WAG wannabe, whose friends call her ‘the Cheryl Cole of Reading,’ lives in a luxury £240,000 flat but has barely worked since leaving school at 16.

‘I’m not a scrounger,’ Kaycie, who has so far walked out of 11 jobs, claims. ‘But the government’s making it easy for me to claim benefits and my mum loves spoiling me.
‘I’d like a job, but it’s hard to find something I enjoy that will pay for the life I want to live.’

Her dedication to job hunting is quickly put into doubt when the shopaholic explains her employment history.
She worked for a recruitment company soon after leaving school. But when the company collapsed a year later, Kaycie struggled to settle into another career.
‘I’ve tried working in shops but I walked out of four or five jobs because I had to get up too early or I got bored,’ says Kaycie - not evoking much sympathy.
‘I want a job, but part time would be better so I can keep my benefits,’ she continues.
‘I don’t look in the job centre because the jobs are boring.’

The aspiring model lived with a boyfriend for a while, but when the relationship ended moved into her own flat where her mum, an administrator, helps her pay the rent.
Kaycie gets around £800 from the state every month which includes housing benefit, council tax benefits and Job Seekers’ Allowance.
Her mother tops this income up with an extra £1,200 a month from her own savings.

The beauty treatment addict spends £750 a month on rent, and the extra £1,250 on make-up, clothes, hair extensions and nights out.
In between, she fills her days sleeping late and watching The Jeremy Kyle Show with her pet Chihuahua, Princess.

‘Everyone deserves to have nice things, including me,’ says Kaycie who does most of her shopping at Karen Millen and DKNY.

She admits to feeling a little guilty for taking taxpayers’ money, but argues that it’s the governments’ fault, not her’s.

‘I’m stuck in a benefits cycle. If I got a full-time job I’d be working 50 hours just to pay my bills,’ Kaycie says - either betraying a weakness in maths, or excessive use of electricity, water and gas.

‘I do worry about Mum making sacrifices for me,’ the fashion victim says charitably.

‘She does go without things like getting her nails done and having her car serviced to make sure I have things. I was spoilt growing up - If I wanted it, I got it.’
It sounds like very little has changed.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
