Are the Radford's massive piss takers?

Back in the olden days 1994 to 2010 the government used to pay your mortgage for you as if it were housing benefit. Given it’s in a relatively cheap area. If they were on tax credits it’s highly likely that the government basically bought them the 10 bedroom house.

They don't. It's pretty well known that the older girls become mother figures to the younger children. It's pretty sad.

The magic bakery 😂

exactly!
Average cost to the state of a birth is about £7500, more for a c-section. Times 22 = £165,000
Average cost to the state of educating a child is £7,460 a year. Times 14 = £104,440 per child. Times that by 22 = £2,297,680

And that's not counting nursery subsidies, any child benefit, doctors appointments, etc.

Do people really think a small bakery would have paid more than TWO AND A HALF MILLION POUNDS in taxes? 🙄

Not even homework, what about time for cuddles and bedtime stories and helping them get dressed or listening to their day, how can anyone do that every day for each child with so many children?

Whether or not people directly supervise their children’s homework there is no way either Radford can provide adequate help or support with homework for so many kids, which i remember needing plenty of as a teenager and I was bright and in the top set. Would some of you defending them be happy to leave your kids in childcare where there was a 1:20 staff to child ratio (seeing as Noel is busy baking the magic money pies all day)? My guess is hell no.

Not exactly supervising it, ensuring it gets done. Wonder how easy that would be in a house with so many children around.
I am not a helicopter parent thanks

Well technically it’s rape as a child can’t consent 🤔

@Another2Cats yes a paedophile is someone attracted to a pre-puberty child.
As Sue became pregnant she was clearly beyond puberty.
Why was he not arrested? In UK law sex with a child is under 13 is automatically classed as rape. Between 13 and 16 each case will be looked at individually. Many 13 - 16 year olds do consent to having sex.
I assume social services became involved as she was pregnant. Somebody made the decision not to arrest him. We (the public) don't actually know what the authorities/social services involvement was.
I'M NOT SAYING IT WAS RIGHT WHAT HE DID.
But I wouldn't call him a "paedophile".

"...he was technically a pedophile"

Really? Do you even understand "technically" what that word means and why it wouldn't apply to a girl capable of becoming pregnant?

Not defending him in any way at all, but let's try getting the terminology correct maybe? Hyperbowl above explains my thoughts about an adult having sex with a child better than I can. But being a pedophile is not (necessarily) the same thing as having sex with a child under the age of 18.

It doesn’t matter whether or not she grew up. She was a minor being sexually exploited and raped by an adult. It’s not about preferring teenage girls to adults, she was a child. I’m pretty sure Paedophilia isn’t about the gender or sex of a person but the act of being attracted to a child regardless. If she wasn’t groomed by him then she may very well not have been trauma bonded to him and not had so many children by him. A thirteen year old child doesn’t have the mental or emotional capability to consent to sex with an adult. No one benefits from having so many children, it’s not healthy behaviour. She clearly has a lot of mental health issues because of it all. We know he’s mentally disturbed because only the mentally disturbed have sex with children in the first place. Do you not think being love bombed and emotionally manipulated by an abuser has an affect on the mind of a person that if not remedied will just continue on in later life? She’s still with her abuser and has never experienced a healthy and nurturing relationship with a man that hasn’t sexually abused her as a child. Their relationship isn’t a success story it’s years of abuse paraded around on TV as a love story. 🤢 🤮

The children were all emotionally neglected and it will have caused them emotional trauma also. It doesn’t matter whether you have sex with one child or a hundred. If as a man you are sexually attracted to and can get an erection over a child you’re a Paedophile. End of story. The law is the law for a reason.

I never supervised my dcs homework either and they all went to university

"How on earth is it possible to supervise numerous kids' homework, it's hard enough with 2 in my experience!"

Frankly, you sound like some sort of "helicopter parent". Really? You "supervise" your children's homework? That sounds very over bearing indeed.

I managed to go to UCL and our DC went to Warwick and LSE - and nobody ever "supervised" anybody else while doing homework.

Maybe just try stepping back a little bit?

The money will dry up eventually, the social media interest will wane (I hope) and then the kids will wonder where the money went for selling their childhoods? It should be illegal for parents to make money off their kids in this way and not have to put any of it aside for them.

Cool and did he live during the Victorian or Edwardian era, as that was what was being discussed?

My dad was one of ten kids (his mum was one of 15). None of them died and none of them had a miserable experience (at least from what they tell me).

@Hyperbowl yes but she stopped being a "young girl". She grew up. If he preferred teenage girls (🤮) wouldn't he have got bored with her ?
(NOT defending him....btw)

I’d rather have hard working and ambitious immigrants than a load of lazy people wanting free housing and not working thanks. Overall the world’s population does need to reduce but yes we will need to rely on immigration to plug the gap.

Overheads? Raw materials, labour, utilities, premises, packaging, maintenance, distribution, waste disposal.....how much profit per pie do you think?

It’s not “not ideal” at all. He was literally an adult having sex with a child. Legally that makes him a Paedophile who should have been arrested and sanctioned as such. He shouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near her or their child. He should be arrested for historic sexual abuse against a minor and not be allowed contact with any minor under the age of 18. He should never have been allowed to go on grooming and impregnating a vulnerable young girl and then later given a broadcasting platform paid for by millions of people.

They took "Director's Loans" of over £90,000 in the latest accounts.

According to the ONS, if it weren't for immigration then the UK population would be falling (eg not enough births to replace those that are dying).

The country needs more people to give birth to more children if we don't want to end up like South Korea or Japan.

Oh well how terrible. I must give myself a big telling off.

Why do people like them so much? Guessing because they are white. Racism is exactly what that is. You have literally no evidence to back up your “theory” other than your own blatant prejudice. Disgusting.
