Thumbs up

They haven’t worked in 11 years, claiming their weight is due to a hereditary condition.
Instead, the family spend their days in front of a television borrowed from a friend. 'Too fat to work': The family turn on the television as soon as they get up
Mr Chawner said: ‘We love TV. It’s on from the moment we get up. Often I’m so tired from watching TV I have to have a nap.’

Yet of their £22,508 a year in tax-free benefits - equivalent to a £30,000 salary - Mr Chawner said: ‘What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.’


Fantastic!
'Hereditary condition' - What, their parents where fat ***** and couldn't keep of the pies either - stop ******* eating and start ******* walking you bunch if XXXXXL sized pigs!


I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise,’ Emma said. ‘We all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don’t know how.’

Heres an idea - stop ******* eating and take a walk not walkers you fat munter!

Yes, and me,
All they are is lazy wasters sat back expecting the state to look after them due to their own self inflicted problems - makes you sick, shame it does not make them sick, they could do with getting rid of some food!

Exactly.

Being fat doesn't stop you working. If it did the USA would have some mega scroungers on its list

I liked this bit
We all love nibbling on biscuits. I once bought some pears, but they tasted funny.
Bloody fruit has a habit of tasting like that

The quote from the dad about as soon as they get up the telly goes on, they all love the telly. Quite often after a day watching the tv he has to have a nap.

They all deserve to be harpooned.

WTF, students have more time than any other bugger.

There are a lot of families like this up and down the country, typical Daily Mail rant material but it is factual, they just arent that bright and are lazy, doesnt make them evil but it is frustrating to see where tax money goes, people sat at home scoffing biscuits whilst the rest of us are at work, I wouldnt swap with them but I would love a bit more time off.

Sitting there in front of their borrowed tv, eating biscuits, farting and laughing at the working mugs that pay for their life of sloth.

If it wasn't true it would be funny.

I like the bit where dad says "we deserve more"

Well stop robbing us all and get out and work for it then

Even allowing for the usual Mail perspective on these stories, as a credit crunched freelancer I'm fed up of paying out for these scroungers

I wouldn't swap, you get out of life what you put in, if watching daytime tv and eating value biscuits all day are their aim then they will be having a pretty miserable and limited existence really, being hailed as an example of all that is wrong with society would not help either. The trouble is, that type will protect their silly lifestyle using cunning and acting skills to shame the RSC, all the effort they put in to avoid doing stuff that would broaden their horizons and give them more interest in life rather than being a biscuit scoffing spectator watching through a borrowed TV, life is rich and interesting, if they realised that and grasped it and moved out of their very narrow comfort zone then they would get something out of life other than Type 2 diabetes and cabin fever.

I'd just rather not have to pay the £1000s I do in tax each year to fund these people's empty, sad lives.

This is a snapshot of the way many people live now, and think it normal to be entitled to constant handouts without even trying to give anything back, or earn your way to a life.

Yes, it is very annoying and a triple whammy, no contribution, all take and then they take from the welfare state to keep them going after abusing their bodies, I am not perfect but I like to think my stopages entitle me to medical care rather than just assuming its there, I suspect they bitch and moan if they have to wait as well.
