I feel it's sickening that our welfare state actually allows people like that to fester.
I think the problem is that it allows people like Philpotts to be completely unchecked by society since he lives in his own bubble and outside contact through work or other activities isn't really happening. The fact the guy has a dozen or so screws loose not-with-standing,obviously!

and yes,child benefit needs to be capped.... I'd actually prefer a system where those who work get tax relief for each child instead of cash,say a 2% reduction in income tax and NI,or something like that.Reward working families and leave more money in their pockets.
