for so many people to believe that everyone on benefits is 'scum'? I'm enraged! If he didn't get his benefits he would go robbing?!? WTactualF? I was on JSA earlier this year because of redundancy and all I received was a paltry £72 a week and my DH was expected to support me over and above that. How has this man gotten away with not working? and those poor babies, how is it healthy for the mother to have so many pregnancies so close together?

sorry its daily fail

He has such an entitled attitude! Gah!

We had mould in my student house (4 of us using one tiny bathroom). I scrubbed it off with bleach. My parents have a severe mould problem in their (privately owned) house. They've had specialists to look at it, and it's to do with the construction method. Guess what? They work had to keep it under control. Even the bathroom in our newbuild gets patches of mould if we don't ventilate it well. Guess what we do? Yep, wipe it off.

None of us have dropped down dead yet.

Look at those pictures. Every single window in that house is open. It's not like they aren't trying. Also; they're getting bitched out because they are letting mold grown, and they are getting bitched at because they have a dryer. Well, if there's no dryer (or a shit one) then the damp would be worse. So which one is it?

Absolutely Jellybeans!

My previous house was one we bought as first time buyers.
we both worked fulltime and we had 2 children in that 2 bedroom house.

It was a nightmare for mould. Part of my general house work was bleaching round the windows and drying walls.

I feel so sorry for these kids being brought up in that frankly dirty house!
The parents need a massive dose of "suck it up" and a lesson on how to clean.
How can she consider having more children?

I don't thin k they should be rehoused until they can prove they have the ability to look after the home they have. Lets try educating them instead of throwing money at them.

I might add we stayed in our 2 bed house until we could afford to move to a larger home and we worked and earned every penny towardsit. If e was working and paying for his house he couldn't just demand a bigger house so he might just discover contraception!

What sort of example are they setting to their kids, and God love the older ones who are going to suffer the negative fall out from this article.

Yes education on actually looking after you home might be an idea. Just some cleaning tip or something. That cot/playpen thing looks filthy.

I think he was suggesting the damp and mould smells yes. And it does. My house certainly did and our landlord tried very hard to get rid of it, as did we.

So you think the family should live with the smell of damp and mould?
I live in a council house and if I had that level of damp and mould,then I would be kicking up. And I'm waiting to rehoused to a bigger house im a walking DM article

Because I have experience of mould which wasn't nearly as bad as that and it stank to high heaven!

I suspect they have become immune to the smell living with it so long.

It needs cleaned like no doubt! Don't be bullshitting about leaving it for ppl in space suits sure that's just ridiculous.

Clean it! Elbow grease if free!

I don't have mould and nope I wouldn't go cleaning mould spores into the air. I grew up with mould and was in and out of hospital with breathing issues.

The whole place needs gutting and repainting and properly treating. People on here are saying that they have actually experienced this and it has had to be professionally cleaned because it's dangerous. But whatever, she (who is pregnant by the way) should just pop on some marigolds and get at it with some cif and sponge?

Is it just me that thinks it doesn't look that dirty?

The kitchen seems spotless, yes it could do with decorating, but I expect the tendency for mould hampers that and I don't like the drawing on the walls. But dirty? not especially. Boys room could do with a hoover though.

mould is created by poor ventilation.
we had this problem

we cleaned it up using products you can easily buy and stopped it reoccurring by ventilating.

they also need to not rip the wall paper or draw on the walls.

As they are requesting a move due to damp I can see why they hae left the mould in situ.

Captainbarnacles1101 · 24/10/2013 16:40

Ok good idea. Better to have the slow constant release of the mould into the atmosphere as it grows untouched in your home. Shock

The wallpaper looks like its dropping from the wall cause the walls are damp which would probably mean the whole house needs to be dry lined and given a damp treatment.

Well the first sign of mould or damp and the council would be getting a call from me.
