So skank has 5 kids by a father who is basically retarded. Neither in work of any type. They moan about the size of their house and having no cash, but they have no problem in throwing cash away in paying junior retard to get his ear pierced?

I would bet she probably gets about 15k in handouts for the house and the kids..

I noticed she was at one point also wearing an Ed Hardy hoody.

They start from about £70/80 and go up from there.

Also noticed the internet enabled PC.

Also hated the fact that they seemed to just expect the rich folk to buy them a new house. "I don't want to decorate, I just want to move"

Although I was shocked that the 6 of them in one house of that size was not classed as badly overcrowded. I thought it was illegal for siblings of that age to share a bedroom when of opposite sex's let alone share a bed.

Thats one of the biggest things in this country, open legs have babies and then expect to be given more and more then want a bigger house.

What happened to pride and working for nice things i know people earning good money who cannot afford a bigger house or children.

It's a show that is always going to annoy me, so I don't even bother watching it - bad enough seeing a clip with some rupert brat saying how large "her" house is...let alone some people who have no intention of working asking for a bigger house for their scrotes.

Alot of kids have piercing nowadays was fashionable when i was at school even more so now, is it the kids fault they were born into a poor family, could you bring up that many kids from 15K in handouts.

Easy to criticise those on the losing end of the spectrum. I know a lad earning 40K at accenture no doubt his middle class upbringing and 50 grand education helped somewhat.

Maybe she saved up for three months to buy that hoody or its fake/knock off from local market stall.

When your at home 18+ hours a day looking after kids you tend to have plenty of spare time for internet etc.

Perhaps she felt offended at the suggestion that the house was in bad order afterall it was over crowded contributing too this, if someone came into your house/office and started knitpicking and forcing you to change things wouldn't it upset you.

You're right it may well have been a knock off from a market stall. It probably still cost more than a pair of school shoes for her son.

In the same vein - if she had saved up for three months to buy it why didn't she spend her money on things that were obviosuly important - like a new sofa bed, or seperate beds for her children, or again a pair of school shoes for her son, or maybe paying of the loan she'd taken out, or the phone bill she couldn't afford to pay?

And i'm sure she does have plenty of spare time sat at home all day - so why didn't she spend some of that time tidying up the house? - a wardrobe in the kids bedroom - fine condition - open the doors not a thing hung up everything just thrown in. The house was filthy, they lived in a mess, the garden was a tip.

I'm sure overcrowding was contributing to the state of the house, but thats not an excuse NOT to look after it.

This is a problem of her own making, and is a classic case of why benefits should be cut for those who have a stupid amount of children without any means by which to support them.
