Mum of 10: I Can't live on £30K benefits
Discussion
Express said:
A “SCROUNGING” mother of 10 who gets more than £30,000-a-year in state handouts has complained that she is not being given enough financial help.
Moira Pearce, 34, claims she cannot feed and clothe all her children with her £600 weekly benefit cheques alone.
The single mother has three sons and seven daughters by four different men.
Miss Pearce said yesterday she has been asking local charities for donations so she can maintain her lifestyle.
Speaking from her four-bed terrace home in Gillingham, Kent, she said: “I’ve been trying to find charities that will help out with clothes and things, but none of them want to know.”
Miss Pearce had her first child, Kayleigh, when she was just 17.
She has never worked and now lives with her latest boyfriend, jobless Mark Austin, 19, who is father of her last two children Shardonnaie, two, and Maxy-Jane, one.
The family get a range of state handouts including child and housing benefit and jobseeker’s allowance.
Her annual payments work out at a staggering £31,200-a-year – or £3,120 per child.
Yesterday, campaigners and locals hit out at Pearce for her “outrageous” sense of “entitlement”. Taxpayers’ Alliance campaign manager Robert Oxley said: “It’s outrageous that Moria Pearce expects the taxpayer to permanently pick up the cost of her bills, let alone that she doesn’t think she is getting enough money.

You got that right
so SHE, NOTE NOT THEY, has £600 a week yet I, who previously worked for 27 years with full contributions am disallowed ANY benefit payouts due to my very small forces pension. In fact NO I'm wrong. She's bred 10 further drains on the economy so yes she's entitled to 10 times my pension.
I know who I blame.
