💸🧠A man who strangled his girlfriend to death is now pocketing up to £400 a month in universal credit—from a psychiatric unit. Gogoa Lois Tape, freshly convicted of murder, somehow qualifies for state benefits most working people can barely touch. Because apparently, in the UK’s bureaucratic bingo, “homicide” now ranks just below “hardship” on the eligibility checklist.
💰 The Welfare Wonderland of the Criminally Comfortable
So let’s recap: kill your partner, get declared “unfit for prison,” and the government starts sending you pocket money. Meanwhile, thousands of struggling citizens are being told their rent assistance was “overpaid by £3.42” and must be repaid immediately—or else. Welcome to Britain’s greatest tragicomedy: The System Works (But Only for the Worst).
It’s the same twisted math that makes victims invisible and perpetrators privileged. The state can’t afford to feed schoolkids, but it can slip a murderer some universal credit and call it “mental health support.” Apparently, we’ve decided that accountability is optional—just say the right medical words and watch the cash roll in.
Somewhere out there, the taxpaying public is funding Netflix subscriptions for people who’ve committed unspeakable crimes, while single mums are getting sanctioned for missing a Jobcentre appointment because their kid was sick. 🔄💀
