Makes you sick.
Why work when I can get £42,000 in benefits a year AND drive a Mercedes?

If the system did not keep giving her more and more money every time she had another child I very much doubt she would keep popping them out.

there are very few people who wouldnt take money offered to them....
even MPs will take the country for every penny they can get. dont forget humans are lazy by nature and will usually take the path of least resistance for an easy life
but it does make you sick that our country has gone too far in its movement towards welfare. if families like this simply ended up on the street with their kids taken off of them.
it seems to have become the states responsibility to ensure a comfortable life, instead of the individuals sadly.

Only 50% annoyed at her, if the system is THAT exploitable, then it needs people to go OTT like this to make them realise that it needs completely rebuilding from scratch ;/ But it's been like this for ages now, does not look like it is going anywhere

Sounds great tbh. Am gonna ask the missus if we can have go for 14 kids and live off the goverment. 
indeed. and all they can give my family is £16 a week in child benefits. i pay a mortgage, and all the bills on one wage, working in retail
As much as this annoys me, I don't actually blame them. I blame the idiotic benefits system of this country that incentivises people to stick to benefits rather than work. The problem is that the perennial scroungers have the vote, so any party with the balls to overhaul the system won't get voted in.
Dad's previous job was as a disability analyst - i.e. performing medical checks for people claiming incapacity benefits. Quite literally every day, he'd come home with a story about someone trying to scam the system, with the usual ailments of "back pain", "chronic fatigue" or "depression".

I'm not sure the actual sum means much does it? The point is that they are being rewarded more for not working. The system is fundamentally flawed.

tbh 42k in benefits is quite a lot, considering that the tax payer in general is picking up this burden.
if they have a 50 quid a month sky subscription and stuff it tells me they are FAR too well off.

I only hope that at age about 60 suddenly this horrible feeling of realisation comes across them, they look each other in the eye, and simultaneously say
'We failed'
But as hard as it is you have to remember the kids are 100% INNOCENT and do not deserve a horrible half-starved life just because they were born to muppets ..
