Apparently this woman does.

How can this be fair when some are to be forced to accept 'Food Stamps' from next week?

It depends on what one's outgoings and one's expectations are based on 'life so far'

Who is Ms Minkin anyway? I can't see a link

Unless you are a complete fantasist £70k is ample. As for food stamps, great idea, stops them spending it an white lightening and snout! Should be the norm, then perhaps the work shy would consider supporting themselves.

I don't know who Ms Minkin is or her circumstances, but £70K before tax is not much to run a household on in the South East of England particularly with children

It certainly wouldn't afford a 'luxurious' lifestyle

Isn't education a wonderful thing, all I had to do was to type Ms Minkin in the Google search box, and what do you think popped up?
