Jobless couple with 12 children are given a £500,000 home

[maybebaby]

I read this in the Sun yesterday. What's stupid is that the guy turned down a job in Asda where he would earn £300 per week because their benefits would go down by £400 per week. There's just no incentive to work! Bloody Government.

its amazing it really is.

I agree with Nicola, its the governments fault for making it so easy to live on benefits and so hard to find a job. Ok, we all know in reality its NOT that hard to find a job, jobs are there to be had if your not fussy about what you do, but what the government do is make it harder to come off benefits.

They play around with the stats too - did you know that anyone on job seekers is no-longer classed as unemployed for the purposes of stats so when they say unemployment has dropped, it actually hasnt, theres just more people on job seekers.

I think that anyone having that many kids without their own income coming in is irresponsible, greedy, and downright selfish. If you cant support a large family on your own, dont have one!

I feel a rant coming on too, but I must remain calm

I have been on benefits myself inbetween jobs, for almost a year when I first moved to wales, but I was looking and eventually found work. It wasnt easy, mainly because I didnt know the area, had no transport, and was in a real tight spot for a while. But I hated every minute of it. I felt like a failure, and I was sharing a house with a friend who was on disability for "depression" - once I found a job he was still clearing more each month than I was earning. He had a nice house paid for, all he had to pay for out of his benefits was food, bills and fags. He was well happy with that! Seriously, I know depression and believe that it can prevent you from holding down a job, but he wasnt genuine atall. Sitting next to him and feeling like I was scrounging while he was lapping it all up really taught me something about myself.

I think the benefit system really needs to be tightened up. It was created to help those in dire need, and should remain as it was intended, but not for people like this. The dad should be made to get out and find a job....if he hasnt got the qualifications to earn 44k a year to match thier benefits - well tough luck they should have thought about that before having so many kids.

FUCKING SCROUNGERS!!!

I hate people like this, and as for her she needs sterilizing or he needs it chopping off!

They have played the system well, have loads of kids get plenty of benefits and have a massive house given to them. They dont bloody deserve it and should get off there asses and get flamin jobs!

People like this make me sick!

before ian left me since i had Alfie i had no need to work as he bought in enough for us all to live comfortably. however before we had alfie i worked 70 hours a week!
since hes gone its been a big shock iv had to get myself onto any benefit i can to stay above water and i do go without an awful lot of things!
i hate the fact im on benefits i hate it that its taking so god dam long to get a job that would pay me enough to keep my head above water! it is true there is no inssentive to come off benefits i would actually be worse off for going back to work, plus i wouldnt get the time with my son, the only insentive is the fact that i chose to have alfie and i should be the one to support him.
my opinions of people on beneits have changed! but they should be used for people who really need them not for people who take the goddam p*ss.
if i got offered a job at asdas id bloody well take it, where i live is little transportation and little jobs aroun d but i have my backside up that jobcenter every week i get at least 10/15 slips and i send out cvs!
i am finding it hard getting a job but at least im getti8ng off my backside and doing something about it! those people have it all dont they! they have the whole family together a nice big house garage etc etc! whilst some of us with morals are trying our god-dam hardest to support our own families by ourself!
i hate that my house etc etc is paid for by the government but for now thats how it has to be!
