its a love story :romance:

if that's the family car they are stood in front of they should get the social security to get them a bigger one

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

I thought that benefit was only for the first 2 children.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

They will be needing a coach before long and a driver.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14

Plus Tax credits... that's where the real money is.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

They'll be demanding a bigger house too, all on the state. The benefits system was never invisaged to support irresponsible woman like this but as a safety net for the unfortunate.

A benefits cap at the average wage (~£26,000) including deductions, so much less actual take-home pay and limiting child benefit to only two children might get these baby factories out of the birthing chair for 5 minutes.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

I don't think it will really.
if a third baby came along I can't see anyone saying something like "tough, it will have to starve"

Well actually I can see that happening.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

No. They will be compelled by law to provide for it: Means they'll have to economise elsewhere or work harder.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

As I said then "Tough"

and the baby says "I didn't ask to be born into this world. are you saying that you're not going to help me. and see me starve if she can't feed me?"

and they'll say "Yes. your mum will just have to get a job or something. next!"

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Yes!

Then she'll be done by the cops for child abuse and the baby will be fostered out to somebody who will look after it

Next! Move along, move along.

You're all heart you are.

this is what Britain is coming to. we all hate each other. because David and his men told us to :)

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

I've been told that.:D

No, it's those of us who work hard and pay our taxes hate seeing our money given to breeding chavvy layabouts and at the same time depriving those in genuine need of the money they deserve.

Hurts all three groups: Me 'cos I have to pay extra tax, layabout breeders because they won't better themselves and the genuinely needy having to go cap-in-hand to try and get some help.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Look into my eyes....
"Hard working people"

let the baby starve.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Well, you could always give it some of your food, Gary....

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Good on them, the more the merrier.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Okey Kokey.
will do :tu:

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

No need to let the baby starve, if the family is unable to care for it properly the government can give it to a family that will.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

But not to a family on benefits who already have 2 kids.
if they had 1 kid already and this one made it 2. and then they had another baby of their own. can they throw this one back in for someone else to have?

or will the government say you'll have to keep it and decide which of the 3 will have to starve?
or can they give the new baby to a family that will care for it?

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Better still, why not just kill the kids and have done with it, we'd save a fortune.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Or set up an official online thing where you can buy and sell them.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Ebaby. :D

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Wonder if it ever crosses their mind that when the final child leaves home, they end up back in a one bedroomed house with basic benefits?

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Seeing as she's only 32, that's a long way off.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Conceivably [sic] she could drop another 15-20.:(

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

There's a woman who lives not far from us who has 4 kids (by 3 different fathers) ranging from about 6 years old to early/mid 20's. She's never worked since she had kids in her teens and is living on benefits in a large split level 3 bedroom housing association flat. Despite being well educated and coming from an upper middle class family, she's freely admitted to us that she has no intention of ever going to work and will probably have 1 or 2 more children in the next few years. For her having kids and living on benefits is a lifestyle choice and one which clearly pays quite nicely thanks.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Although they don't need to worry about the future like those of us working to provide for it, they they only need to worry about the gap between their youngest kid reaching the end of full education and their own pension date.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Yup. Retirement from what though? Certainly not work.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Chop his off and sow hers up! Sorted

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Yeh. where the gingers are given away :)

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Cack life though if thats all you have to look forward to.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Is it not better that I attempt to put enough aside so that I can can hopefully live comfortably and I am not cold and hungry in my old age?

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

Sorry didn't realise the article was about you.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

I assumed your comment was to my post which was prior to it and it appeared to apply to it. My response wasn't in an aggressive manner, I apologise if you felt it were.

I don't think they look forward to anything, but I guess they fear the period between the last kid leaving school and their pension date.

Re: Pregnant woman on benefits plans child number 13 and 14
 

When Cameron came into power one of his promises was to provide state benefits for upto 2 children only but nothing ever came of it.

I am 63 and i know a woman who has never worked in her life and was in the same class as i was in school. She was married for 29 years and he died in a works accident, she then remarried and had more kids. Her husbands have always worked while she sat on her backside taking benefits for the 7 kids she has. And what really annoys me is when i get flack on here in the what have u bought section because im now on benefits after a stroke having worked 43 years and caring for my mum 6 years early in life before she died and i started work.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:Aye, very passable, that, very passable bit of risotto.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:Nothing like a good glass of Château de Chasselas, eh, Josiah?

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:You're right there, Obadiah.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:Who'd have thought thirty year ago we'd all be sittin' here drinking Château de Chasselas, eh?

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:In them days we was glad to have the price of a cup o' tea.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:A cup o' cold tea.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:Without milk or sugar.

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:Or tea.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:In a cracked cup, an' all.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:Oh, we never had a cup. We used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:The best we could manage was to suck on a piece of damp cloth.

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:But you know, we were happy in those days, though we were poor.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:Because we were poor. My old Dad used to say to me, "Money doesn't buy you happiness, son".

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:Aye, 'e was right.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:Aye, 'e was.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:I was happier then and I had nothin'. We used to live in this tiny old house with great big holes in the roof.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:House! You were lucky to live in a house! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:Eh, you were lucky to have a room! We used to have to live in t' corridor!

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:Oh, we used to dream of livin' in a corridor! Would ha' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House? Huh.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:Well, when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:We were evicted from our 'ole in the ground; we 'ad to go and live in a lake.

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:You were lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us living in t' shoebox in t' middle o' road.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:Cardboard box?

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:Aye.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.

SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!

THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.

FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.

FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.

ALL:They won't!
