An unemployed man on benefits from Stoke has been subjected to national ridicule after he claimed he could live comfortably on just £120,000 a year.
Nigel "Rio" Cocker, 24, and father of 12, made the outrageous claim during an interview he gave to Tatler magazine in a feature on lower class people. "I reckon I could live well good on dat many clams," Mr Cocker said. "Get me own house an' car an' go on 'oliday ever' now an' then, sounds lovely jubbly."
"This pleb obviously knows nothing of living in the real world," wrote Tatler columnist Tim Vine-Jeremy. "Just because you have a higher income it does not mean that your life is easier. We all know that mo' money equals mo' problems. This man is just patronising the upper middle class with his ridiculously simple notions of budgeting at that kind of income level, he knows nothing."
"This clown doesn't understand anything," politician Iain Duncan Smith is rumoured by an 'insider' to have roared. "What a knob!" he is also rumoured to have screamed, by a different 'insider'.
