Are the Radford's massive piss takers?

Do they have 20 children?

It is still breeding. And I guess simular to breeding dogs, they are producing off spring for financial gain.

I think the poster was going for sarcasm!

Both parents were adopted, from babies I understand, so weren’t brought up in care.

Not sure as a family they are net contributors, especially as elder children are now having numerous children.

It’s only the social media stuff that takes in the money, can’t believe the bakery made enough money in the early days without the need of some form of benefits

This explains it perfectly!!

Do you refer to other people who have had children, as them breeding?

Why would anyone be envious about being raped as a child, made pregnant at 13, then kept pregnant until the menopause? It’s really nothing to be jealous about.

I don’t think they are good parents, regardless of what affection they might feel towards their children. A good parent doesn’t have 20 children in a time when contraception is freely available because those children’s needs can’t be properly met in a family of that size which was very evident in their programme - the boys were beating the living daylights out of each other and the girls were looking after the babies.

If there were any serious concerns, then the SS would have been on top of them, like a shot. They are very much out there. School would be very familiar with the family etc. People may not agree with how they are living their lives, but it is not breaking any laws, exposing your family life on sm/ tv. They are just on a larger scale media wise, than most people.

This, I used to like them but they have changed as a family. I don’t really align with them anymore or their values, they seem out of touch

Hello Radford fan. Nice to have you here!

He may have a pie shop now but I bet he didn’t when he started breeding at 18. It’s very creepy and they’re unbelievably thick. Her parents must be morons too for not having him arrested years ago

@Startinganew32 you think they don't love their kids? 😂

both the parents were brought up in care

Not true. They were both adopted as babies into loving homes.

All of the older children are in social housing and the daughters all knock out babies as soon as they are able. Such a bloody drain on society.

@wateringcanface breeding choices? They're humans not dogs!

It's very rare to have that many kids. The school places they take are a tiny drop in the ocean! It's not like other families are rushing to follow suit!

They don’t. They love the money they bring. Anyone who loves their kids doesn’t push the girls into doing endless free childcare, let the boys beat each other senseless and cast aside each kid in favour of a new baby after a year or so.

Very well said LadyKenya

Their relationship has endured a long time and is solid, they have a lovely family, seem very down to earth, and tbh their house looks tidier than mine!

They seem to function well. I disagree with any dc appearing on telly really but if that’s the way they have chosen to fund their family then that’s their choice and I am sure most of the money is being ploughed back in to the children anyway. There won’t be much left by the time they have raised 22 of them anyway!

I am also surprised by the level of vitriol aimed at them on here. I like the dynamic of a big family and it’s the opposite of avaricious!

All the older children have at least 3 children already.

They are awful and the dad is creepy and gross for getting a 13 year old pregnant. They have neglected their children big time. They have absolutely relied on the state. Him owning a bakery in no way provides him with an income to support a family of 20. What utter bullshit. Their kids are hardly growing into budding teachers and doctors are they? Don’t think any of them went to uni and they are starting on the breeding route too. They are a drain on the state and awful parents. Why do people like them so much? Guessing because they are white.

Here for the deletion message.

How many of us have got their own telly show and heaps of social media channels? Not to mention a pie business. We've no idea of their earnings but they love their kids. It's unusual to have that many but good luck to them.

It doesn't sit right with me, 22 school places, 22nd nhs births and any other nhs and social services they take up.

I don't care for the 'mind your own business' type mindset when people voice negative opinions on them, they have made themselves famous purposefully for their breeding choices, they are opening themselves up to scrutiny. Dont want people to comment, don't use your kids to make money through a tv show.

I also can't imagine any of the children are particularly bonded with their parents, how can you spread your love and attention accross that many.

That’s pretty unfair, they have earned (and paid tax on) a huge amount of money. I don’t think it would benefit society to call out who are net contributors vs net takers. I think the radcliffes are likely the former.

They irritate me.

I expect they did claim child benefit when they could but don't anymore. They were entitled to it.

The focus now seems to be shopping and holidays. Extravagant birthdays, baby showers etc. I'm expect they earn far more money from their 'content' than they do the pie factory.

Their children are now supplying the babies.

What on earth does 22 pregnacies and deliveries do to your vagina, pelvic floor and abdominal muscles? Makes me wince just thinking about it
