Am I being unsympathetic by saying she only has herself to blame for having 8 kids?
Yes, it is her right to have as many as she chooses, but with the national average of 1.8 children per family, can (or should) the government legislate fairly for extremes like this?

Eight children?

How many fathers?

Surely in this age of alternative choice of contraceptives, her "outside interests" could be........modified.

No....sorry....my sympathy remains with me.

[janbee]

I've no sympathy .

There must be somewhere between 1 and 8 fathers out there who could be contributing to their kids welfare

Turns out she has been in and out of the press for a while - see attached article from last Christmas.

This will probably go over like a lead fallopian tube; however, she should have been sterilized quite a few outputs ago.

[Sqad]

stuey........my thoughts exactly.

From the photographs provided in jd's link, there is either one Asian father or multiple Asian fathers.

For a mother of 8 she looks remarkable unhaggard. That's if there is such a word.

[ukbod2015]

I think it said for children after a certain date - ie not even conceived yet

[Svejk]

You should have held back the second link, jd. Given some of the bleeding hearts a chance to emote first. ;o)

Ukbod, a £6k reduction in total benefits

///A single mum of eight children who gets a whopping £26,000 a year in benefits fears she could be on the streets thanks to the new budget.
In today's announcement, Chancellor George Osborne said benefits would be capped at £20,000 per year for those living outside London.///

Seems she couldn't pay her rent even with £20,000+ subsidies by the tax payer.I hope this work shy, scrounging ,selfish mickey taker does end up on the street.About time she learnt not to be profligate with other's money.
I hope this government will continue to root out people like this unlike the previous who encouraged it.

[pastafreak]

Wouldn't wish the street on anybody. Yes....she's all about take,take,take...but her children should not be punished - put into care and costing us more money - due to her stupidity.

[anneasquith]

should the 8 children be ' put out on the streets ?

[ummmm]

And the children, Retro?

What's your solution then. She seems to revel in the publicity as someone who is rubbing our noses in the dirt. She has no shame and it would appear few morals.Want her to continue as a role model to other young girls?

[stuey]

Unfortunately, the children will probably grow up with the same "give me, it's all free" attitude as her. And no, you can't really put the children "out on the street" can you?

[ukbod2015]

She could always have some fun trying to work out who the fathers were and claiming off them

[retrocop]

ukbod2015
That would be too difficult. It was easier to claim at other's expense. I would imagine she has been firmly told by the father(s) not to reveal their identities. They only breed them.They are not expected to support them as long as they can stay one step ahead of the CSA. :-(

Putting anyone on the street is no solution...not for them,and not for those who will bear the burden of supporting them...whether financial or otherwise. Those end up on the street invariably go from bad to worse...only a few turn their lives around. She has made some unfortunate choices,we do not have to contribute to making her life worse. Instead,help her get in the right place to work...if she's really sincere about that.

Those *who*...end up oñ the street
