It seems they've cruised along nicely. Thank you tax payer. 20 holidays in 1 year

Yuk. First baby born when he was 18 and she was 14.

Yuck indeed. From grok:

  • Sue Radford was 13 when she first became pregnant, and Noël was 17 at the time. They were both below and above the age of consent, respectively, in the UK, where the age of consent is 16.

And hopefully all those children will grow into pleasant, contributing members of society. There's enough child free adults to offset their kids school costs i imagine.

Well the ones who have moved out have gone to the council to be housed, because the parents are too busy spaffing money on holidays rather than helping the children. One of the daughters has 3 kids by 22, and the oldest child, doesn’t see his children at all. So don’t hold your breath.

The parents do not seem very smart or appealing. I'm not a fan and don't understand why they are famous. It's gross that the dad started having unprotected sex with the mum when she was 13, and I think the first kid was conceived when she was 14?

How could someone want to be pregnant for pretty much their entire life.
I think it would be appalling to have to be one of dozens of siblings, all a year apart.
You'd feel like you were living in a children's home.

Apparently the pies are shite. And if course a tiny regional pie firm couldn't sustain that size of a family. So I guess it's good they've got money from the telly and not the taxpayer.

@12purplepencils , I’m pretty sure she has given birth 22 times , sadly one boy was stillborn.

Christmaseason · 17/12/2024 18:31

They do have an amazing amount of holidays and I thought I had a lot.

What on earth are you wittering about? Who are you talking about and what have they done.
Yes, i could google, but it's rude to start a thread with no context

Nah it’s not a benefits thing.
My impression is that they are not the sharpest knives in the drawer (especially her) and lack self awareness. And their fans/followers are of similar levels of intelligence.

Don't hold back!! 😂

12purplepencils · 17/12/2024 18:30

People saying she gave birth 22 times…. I think some of the 22 kids are her grandchildren aren’t they?

People are so naive. The tax payer paid out a fortune for them before they got successful with their social media and tv career. He’s not Mr Kipling fgs. And giving birth 22 times, sending all those kids to school etc doesn’t come cheap.

We need people to have babies, we have the NHS, so yes free maternity care. People who fully support themselves without top up benefits and free healthcare don't have enough children. The immigrants that we allow to stay, need a level of support and even they aren't having enough babies. So what's your answer to up the working population, without spending out?

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 17/12/2024 18:27

Yes, unfortunately.

Used to be "Parent of child film star", now it's "Content Creator"

Although really it's "Child abusing fuckwit"

I agree that minors shouldn't be on social media, should have faces blanked out at the bare minimum and nothing put out there that will upset them in future

DragonGypsyDoris · 17/12/2024 18:29

It's YABU from me just for your errant apostrophe.

Should I know who they are?

Yes because you should use Google.

BoobyDazzler · 17/12/2024 18:28

Of course they are but if someone is the kind of imbecile person who follows these complete wasters on social media then I doubt they care what they do with the income they make from it.

ginasevern · 17/12/2024 18:28

I believe they support themselves completely. I do question why anyone would want 20 (?) children though.

Is 'content creator' the new official term for selling your kids privacy online and breeding for fame?

Yes, unfortunately.

Ok clearly I am one of those oblivious people because I don't know who this thread is about but 22 births!!!!!!

ChristmasinBrighton · 17/12/2024 18:26

Well I applaud their attempts to bolster the number of future tax payers.

I don’t know who people think is going to pay their pensions and healthcare unless we can reverse the ageing demographic trend.

Wavescrashingonthebeach · 17/12/2024 18:25

Thank you taxpayer 😂 they've got a successful business and make a fortune from social media. I can think of worse people to get riled up about. Their lifestyle choice really doesn't offend me in the slightest much as my brain is blown at the thought of that many kids!

namechangeGOT · 17/12/2024 18:24

KvotheTheBloodless · 17/12/2024 18:19

What do you mean, thank you tax payer? They make plenty of money as content creators online, I shouldn't think the tax payer contributes a penny.

Nobody else's business, and absolutely nothing to do with the taxpayer.

Why does it bother you so much?

I personally wouldn't want to swap places with them, but wish them all the best.
