Building a new home for her - she should be made to get a job!

Your thoughts please

[B00]

lol, yes Naomi, just seems that no thought went into the welfare of the children she already had by her did it?

[emmie]

Boo the first one has gone on to reproduce herself, not saying that is a bad thing, so perhaps not a child minder for the mum...

[friedgreentomato]

Jake your tone is not necessary at all.

She was quoted and her quotes were out of order.

[B00]

Doesn't alter the basic facts though does it JTP?

She's got 11 children and doesnt work, and presumably never has. I'm basing it on the assumption she had her first child at 14. What exactly does this woman contribute to the society she's taking from?

[emmie]

most of that piece has already been discussed, and if as been pointed out she was living in cramped accommodation before did she go on to produce 4 more babies, it's a nonsense to suggest that this is someone else's problem.

[MadMen]

Jake the peg, that article is rubbish. The facts are still the same.

Again, I don't blame her, I blame the stupid government for allowing this.

[sandyRoe]

BUt think of when here children grow up and go on benefits themselves. She'll be left to live on a pittance and be rattling around in a house far too big for her.

[DJHawkes]

why can't the housing get the daughter and grandkids into their own place? It makes no sense to maintain overcrowding with 2 families like that.

[jake-the-peg]

Some people just like getting angry

It makes them feel self-righteous

It makes them feel their own shortcomings are not purely their fault and that their lack of success in life is down to those other people - those wasters without who's anvil about their legs they would surely prosper and soar.

And rags like the mail feed that need


How many paragraphs did you even read ? 4? 5? less?


Isn't it obvious they're yanking your chain here? Can't you see it? or do you just not care?

[naomi24]

Jake, //But you're still going to continue to read that crap and lap it all up aren't you? //

Yes. Here's a bit more homework - and it doesn't come from a blogger with a political agenda.

"Some people just like getting angry "

Its true, im that mad, im spitting feathers and about to go kick the cat* in frustration and self riotous indignation about this story.

*only kidding, she'll rip my legs off if I tried!

[ummmm]

I read it all for the simple fact I can't believe anyone would say what she was quoted as saying.

[emmie]

some of us who have paid through the nose for our homes, have worked our whole lives are sick to death of seeing some people getting something for nothing, doesn't matter if it's home grown or imported, sick to death of reading these stories, of large families being given million pound homes when they haven't worked a day in their life, or indeed have landed here, and brought their tribe with them, who get housed, because a council has a duty to do so. Please don't say it doesn't happen because it does.

[DJHawkes]

no it is not obvious at all, the mail have played with the facts but the facts are the same, she has a load of kids and can't support herself nor them now, how did she not plan for this during the years she was working? Oh hang on she's probably only been on maternity pay for the pasy 15 years and so not had the chance to consider
1)critical illness cover
2) applying for a mortgage
3) securing her kids future through giving them a secure home

don't try to make out she's not a benefit scrounger with a front garden like that and all those kids that could help her keep it tidy, she's a mess

[chaptazbru]

"Some of us who have paid through our nose for our homes etc etc ....." I'm one of them em and my parents are another and I agree wholeheartedly with you.

[tonyav]

Same here em.

[ladybirder]

And who's Steve Rose? Yes I know he's the bloke who wrote the blog but who is he?

[MadMen]

Just some Journalism graduate.

I'd put money on him being a conspiracy theorist though...

[DJHawkes]

i know many people protest that they are better off on benefits than working, if this woman can ever get back to work what would she do? What career did she have before making the decision to start a family? None, the side story that she has had cancer is not a relevent argument that she can't work because of her illness, she can't ever have worked. The family will get into their new house and continue to breed more grandkids until they all need rehousing. It's exactly what it looks like, a failure brought about by lazy slovenly scroungers who shout the loudest.
