The sad thing is, this isn't even an exaggeration.
It really is like a scene from Shaun of the Dead.

Ugh I dont even know what to say.
Its true however that women with 11 kids cannot work because if she did the kids would suffer immensely.
She would never walk into a job off that dole that would pay enough.
Ugh so annoying.

I have to confess to watching this, but I think what I found most amusing was there part where the baby factory was moaning about being in the paper and them printing loads of details about her, and calling her a benefit scrounge, in front of a tv camera for a show about benefit scroungers, honestly, how thick can you get? Also thought fatty mcboomboom was bang out of order for giving her daughter grief about getting a job - she's the only one in the family who's actually worthwhile...
Yup.
The fact is? Show me figures and facts then that support your argument.
I'll show you where the left wing media guardian types get theres

Loads of figures, well sourced there.
Stop watching rage inducing entertainment journalism and thinking its how the world works, educate yourself.

You are denying there are swathes of communities and town with people like these? Really?
Again it drags the argument back to the old "we're all on benefits apart from the very rich therefore we'll use the majority of the country to pretend that the minority, but still considerable number of, people don't exist or are just rare exceptions"
I've already said, I'm talking about people who live ENTIRELY off benefits.
Not really, there are a few figures (not really related to what I'm talking about) but the rest is just very vague, wishful thinking and the ambiguous "stats say x" without actually showing them or how they were sourced.
And you carry on doing this...
I don't think anyone is perpetuating the idea that it's a lie, more that these people are extreme cases.
Tabloids actively hunt things for people to be outraged by. Outrage and controversy sell papers.
So what happens to the eleven kids if the benefits are slashed?

Easier said than done and any attempt to do with only bring scorn from the Owen-Jones-a-likes.
