So Mrs Reeves thinks it is despicable someone stole her unemployed son's dole money in a pub.

Well, it is despicable her son is boozing away his dole money.

And it is despicable Mrs Reeves would let his family of five starve for two weeks until his next payment - her words, not mine.

Surely she could at least have offered her son a loan for food.
