"so rent - you have the same choices as her - if your income is low you can claim housing benefit"
Do you really think it is that simple?
Most private landlords do not accept Housing Benefit.
My stepdaughter and her child have been living in a shithole of a DSS bed and breakfast for nearly a year now because she is not classed as a priority for being housed. No doubt if she got pregnant again she would go higher up on the list for getting a place, but she is capable of using contraception and would rather not bring another child into the world for someone else to support.
Also, how many of those 11 children that the woman in the article has will go on to put much back into society? My guess would be none. They will follow in their mothers footsteps and keep the ever increasing drain on the economy going.. perhaps if being rehoused every time you recklessly have another child was stopped and you had to live in an overcrowded house, some people might think twice before having more children than they can afford.
