Breeding for Benefits

How can they ask that enormous woman how much she spends on food a week without laughing? Do you think it took 10 takes?

£2k on Christmas = morons. Brand names are the worst thing to buy kids. If they don't have they don't get.

I can't believe that she got to the size she is by spending just £40-50 a week on food for 7 of them.

Though her OH works, even though it leaves them £10 a week worse off.

The breeding for benefits problem could be quite easily solved if the government had a cut-off point where they no longer paid anymore child benefit or tax credits to anyone. 2 kids. That should be the limit. If you can't afford them, you shouldn't have them!

That's going to be difficult to police. Judging from this clip, it seems that these 5 kid families are from different relationships.

There are quite a few stories like this being put out by various charities, councils and media outlets. They are meant to make you feel sorry for the people earning £45k in benefits living in poverty if the system is tightened up.

It will have the opposite effect. People are beginning to wake up to the MASSIVE benefit grubbing culture in this country and are asking why someone should receive £100k in housing benefit a year to live in Islington.

Keep the stories coming!

What's even more ridiculous is that even after getting over £30k tax free in benefits, they still don't have enough intelligence to put some aside for Christmas, preferring instead to put £2k on credit cards so that they can buy expensive brand names for their kids. Of course if kids in "poverty" don't have brand named goods at Christmas their self esteem will plummet.

I actually find this amount of benefits they get really obscene and offensive to the real poor of the world in places like Africa and India who have to live off something like £1 a day which they work long days for. These people would be considered multi-millionaires in comparison. No wonder so much of the third world aspires to come to the UK where the streets are paved with golden benefits.

It could be tricky, but I think there could be ways to police it. Anyone who has parental responsibility for 2 children will not be awarded any further tax credits if they have anymore or take in other kids from a new partner. That new partner could of course be claiming his child benefit and tax credits for his kids. But they could have no kids together and get paid for it.

Any typical (is it typical anymore?) married/cohabiting couple with kids they have had with each other, should have no more tax credits/child benefit from the state if they are unable to support the kids they have without huge handouts.

That should save billions and, over time, change the face of Britain for the better.

"On a good week we spend £85 a week on grocery shopping. On a bad week, £40"

Yeah, on sausage rolls, crisps and full fat cherry coke.

What a fat loser.

these people are filth - I never saw the programme but look at that picture - all wearing nice clothes, on a nice sofa. sickening. they should be in rags and sitting on an old crate. why are they living the same life as me when I work and they are sub-human grasping filth? I'll tell you, because of the lefty cancer.

Lefty cancer is what will destroy the western world. In 200 years, we will all be subservient to the east and we will man the call centres. And when you ask why, look to the lefty who sold us out so the workshy scum could live like kings because they are entitled.

leftys - the biggest danger to society ever.

High house prices are a major factor in the worsening benefits culture. When you can get upto £1,600 PCM for a 4-bed house there is no point in most people on benefits working. It's only going to get worse unless houses become more affordable. I never thought I'd see the day when families on benefits can outbid working families on rental properties.
