Myers article led to the swift change of the rules on single mother living with their partners. The awww diddums crowd can bitch and moan about Myers being a cunt all they want but the fact is that bastards article made a very positive contribution to the lives of single mothers.
If you find him so boring try not reading his articles.Brian Conniffe said:yeah fucking right. he's a "writer" who can only get attention because of his scripted confrontational stance. he is deeply boring and his article on single mothers was offensive and ignorant.
Um yeah, I've already said I didn't think he actually intended to change the law.aoboa said:No matter what your friends situation was - it doesn't take away from the fact that Myers article was not writen with good intentions.

Their dreadful crime was that herself was claiming unmarried ma housing benefit but her partner was living with them (he wanted to be with his bird and kids but couldn't afford to pay all the rent etc. on his wages) and they got snared.
So? Please advise me how his articles have actually harmed them. If anything he has assisted them to stay together as a family unit.Be the Hokey said:you do realise that these are precisely the type of people that Myers despises the most?
Goff said:Myers' ranting about single parents had nothing whatsoever to do with the Social changing anything. It was already on the cards; been talked about for years,
If you happen to be referring to my mates, they were snared by a surprise visit from the welfare. They didn't "turn around" and tell the social they were living together.Goff said:Add that to the fact that the gobshites who will turn around and tell the social they're living with their fellits, only to discover they're above the income limit cos their partner is working and find themselves cut off....

eh, likewise do you have any proof that they chose the date after Myers article?

The reason I love Myers is this: Before the hang Myers fest was going on two of my mates who had a kid were fucking bricking it as the welfare were investigating them. Their dreadful crime was that herself was claiming unmarried ma housing benefit but her partner was living with them (he wanted to be with his bird and kids but couldn't afford to pay all the rent etc. on his wages) and they got snared.
Nobody gives a damn these days if a childs parents are not married. The state was ever so slightly behind on this matter and Myers (unintentionally I imagine) gave it a good kick up the arse with that column.
Two things: What they did was fraud. And still will be. There are lots of people who cannot afford to pay the rent etc. but they do it anyway. There are other schemes like FIS, which can help if their wages are too low. FIS is one of the reasons the Social can start talking about allowing couples to live together. It more or less evens out in the end.spiritualtramp said:heir dreadful crime was that herself was claiming unmarried ma housing benefit but her partner was living with them (he wanted to be with his bird and kids but couldn't afford to pay all the rent etc. on his wages) and they got snared.
After that Myers article the benefits law was changed instantly regarding single mothers living with their kids fathers, stress for my mates = over. So I'm utterly delighted for my friends and their children that Myers wrote that article.
