Vile and disgusting

How has she managed to have 5 kids while been on disabilty benefit with a bad back?

What benefit gets you free meals delivered every day?
 
At least this story is of an English family... What really grinds my gears is where a family of 10 from a country in Europe decide to travel over and get it all handed on a plate after just a week of being in the UK.

I don't know why you think it's better that they are English, I feel absolutely zero affinity with this kind of people.
 
There seems to be more to this than meets the eye. If true however, the claims about rat infestations and excrement smeared beds warrants a closer look. However, playing devil's advocate:

The list of handouts include: £140 a week child benefits,

Available whether they work or not.

£120 a week disability living allowance,

Available to those who qualify whether they work or not.

£250 a month carers allowance for Peter,

Available to those who qualify regardless.

£527 a week in tax credits,

Available whether they work or not; the name merely changes between Child Tax Credit and Working Tax Credit.

£30 every fortnight for income support.

No arguing that one but it appears aside from their rent (Housing Benefit) the £30 is the only thing they're claiming they wouldn't get if they worked.

If we are to believe the Daily Fail then the father was a member of the Army until he left to care for his disabled wife in 2001. If she is in the 'high rate care' category then with so many children in addition to the burdens of full time care it doesn't seem hard to imagine how things swiftly got out of hand for them. Not to excuse their apparent behaviour, but I can certainly see they might be on a slippery slope.

Whether that excuses having ever more children and allowing things to progress this far is another matter, but I don't think it's as clear cut as the DF makes out (shock, horror!). It sounds to me like they need help, and perhaps a word of advice about contraception, rather than mere condemnation. As I said I'm certainly not outright defending them, but I'd be loathe to make snap judgements or be jumping on the bandwagon without further information we'll likely never have access to.

As Andy said if they are genuinely in need I'd much sooner they had the money they needed than certain others (whether it be hate preaching Mullahs or fat cats scamming the system). JMHO.
 
The whole system as said by a few others needs to be sorted out. But the trouble is it's a difficult thing to achieve without people starving themselves. It's not just a case of finding a job that's minimum wage, it's finding one with a high enough wage such that they earn all these benefits e.g. free prescriptions etc. in a financial sense.

In terms of all the Poles coming in and doing the jobs the English want, well, they wouldn't feel any incentive if said jobs weren't freely available. Foreigners also can't just come over and start claiming benefits, irrespective of what the latest rag has decided to xenophobically print. I believe there is an Aussie member of these forums who can testify to that for example.

As Dolph stated above, it was born with noble intentions to a very different generation of people. It's a massive if not the biggest drain on the country now because of the sheer misuse of it.

At least this story is of an English family... What really grinds my gears is where a family of 10 from a country in Europe decide to travel over and get it all handed on a plate after just a week of being in the UK.

What a retarded statement. What on earth has nationality got to do with it?

It's ok for an indigenous family to be a sponge but it 'grinds [your] gears' if a foreign family also decides to play the system?

Just by numbers (and common sense) alone the country / tax payer is being screwed far more by these types of families than by immigrants.
 
Ninja Edit by the Daily Fail. They removed the part where they called Mrs Smith Obese.

Woman who is too obese to feed her cats and cook for herself in not having a TV for the Wii she bought her 12 kids to SHARE Shocker!!!!
 
These forums are rife with discussion and are very popular, I've often wondered whether journalists do wander over here from time to time. I swear some of the most poignant and well thought out notions, particularly on the football forums (oddly enough) have ended up in newspapers a day or two later.

If you are from The Independent, I've lost my dog. Thoughtful pensive fellow, all white with a big black nose. With the right music does the most amazing dance. Print an ad would you?

Andrew could well be an atypical Daily Mail reader; if he believes that immigrant families walk into the country and star gobbling all sorts of state welfare "within a week".

It is especially absurd when you consider the fact that these types of indigenous English families far, far outnumber the first or second generation immigrant families doing the same.

Is, simple, as, not, that, it, as.
 
country has gone to the dogs,

hate this benefit culture that sprang up

ya think that between cutting the EU budget and ditching all this oh my career is being a baby factory, this country would have a decent work force with decent jobs on the market and people actually learning and enjoying what it means to do a hard days work..........
 
If they want to be a family and not neglect the kids by working then by all means live off benefit, thats what the moneys there for to be used for. Not saying the price they get is right or anything as i duno how much it would cost per year for a family that large who want to stay at home and be with their kids and partner. But if they live ok then thats ok. Tho i think if they get that much money they should be paying rent or have a mortgage for a house large enough for them 6 bedroomed house or somit. The breakfast remark well up to them, i mean i can see why the mother doesnt want to make a breakfast for 12 people, be a hell of a hastle. Tho i hope it aint junk food and order somewhere for proper breakfast. Tho tbh if they ate ceral (not a lot do and prefer cooked breakfast or a verity of cold food fruit, salad etc) they probs could do that and not order it.

Edit - read only so much but after reading more i say that family is disgusting in ways not all.

I support my original statement only on the condition it is for valid large familys who want to choose to stay home and be with the kids i mean lookin after 10 kids is a job in it self really. The thing i dont condone is family who makes babies for benefit only (hard to prove depends if they are nice or not cos some scrubbers i see with kids on benefit should be working and they are not. But a nice valued family (decent ppl) who wish to be there with their children and live off benefit i do support it is a choice, it is a choice this country can and does do. Taxes do have to go somewhere and as long as its for good natured reasons and nice people who wish for a fuller family life then i say let them do it. But others then no.

Apart from the fact she has curvature of the spine and can't work? Even if she could that is a pathetic excuse. People do that and much more in kitchens every day!!!

Whaaaa? Lets have a benifit system based on how nice people seem?
 
I know its subjective but meh its just ocuk :p

Oh and didnt read it all just start and saw the bottom pics and a bit about them. Yeah i should have read it all but meh it is just a 2 min read and post.

I mean at end of the day my thoughts are. Support the family's who wana raise their kids without working or cant work for so so reason, this story just seems a bit greedy but their are a lot of family's who do not get anywhere near that. My mum got crap when we were growing up. So not everyone is out to abuse the system.

God forbid the working community in this forum if it was up to them they'd be out with sticks and shovels.

Not everyone on benefits is like this family so why jump on the bandwagon assuming they all are.

your all the same to me quick enough to **** them off when your at work yourself earning big monies but you'd soon be joining the benefits system if you had no other option and had to look after your family. I really don't think you'd let your wife and kids starve and live on the streets just because your morales are too high.

What a family, what a good up bring all those kids have, do they have anyone to look up to?

Gas them all, I saw my granddad die in hospital he spent years as PoW in Japan then came back and worked down the mines until he retired and you get people like this living in this country, just refuse them money, they can work, they dont want to, more kids less money, children are our future, how can raising 10 kids with no beliefs and respect be a good thing for this country, we have 10 kids believing in not working is the way, just gas them all.

Working is not that, its 8 hours a day more/less, it is social and gets you out of the house.

/gassing the is a joke btw
