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!

No, I don't see anything that dirty, just poor.

I think you are confusing moisture entering the fabric of the building from outside (which the council should sort) with moisture collecting on the interior surfaces due to poor ventilation (which the householder has caused).

So now he's a fuckwit?

Would you want to be scrubbing mold off the ceiling and walls and window frames when you were pregnant? But then I get she's just a feckless swine who should have kept her legs closed, right?

Not the point I know, but they have a 1 year old and a 10 month old? How is that even possible with the 9 months it takes to cook one up? Am I being thick?

Hop along. Take that big chip off ur shoulder and read the posts.
I cleaned when I was pregnant. In fact I worked full time Ina physical job and cleaned my house and looked after my family when I was pregnant. When I couldn't do it my Partner did. We wouldn't let our house get to that state in the first place with or with out kids. The reason they have and others like them (yes I said like them!) do is because pple make excuses for them and they justify it!
It can't be justified. These children are at risk here. That couple need to bloody well clean! End of story. Yes there are other issues but the one thing they can do is clean.

Because outside obsessive "my son is 1.9" mothers, "1 year old" covers the range from 12 months to 24 months. So there could perfectly easily be 14 months between them.

Well as I pointed out the wallpaper is coming away from the wall so it looks like penetrating damp to me.

Wise up! Seriously just wise up! No one absolutely no one is saying she needs to fix gutters. But she can clean. So can he. Don't be picking and choosing which parts of posts u comment on. And stop twisting words it's so pathetic.

Being oregano doesn't mean you have to keep your house filthy. And if too many kids is holding you back from working, or giving your children the best you can, then stop having kids. Seriously what makes them think they can have all those children and expect everyone else to pay their way in life.

And if I just so happened to cover that county I might just so happen to know that that particular area has a huge problem with the type of mould that is caused by things that are the landlords responsibility, I also might know that its been an ongoing issue for years.

I would also know that often when this sort of thing happens independent expects are often brought in to confirm this and action gets taken to try and force social landlords to rectify it but it still gets ignored.

I don't have a chip? I just think people should actually look at a situation and see that things are not always what the tabloids would have us believe. There is a whole comments section on the Daily Mail if you would feel more comfortable with a load of people who think the same as you.

Hopalong. it is pretty obvious to me the man has 9 kids he cannot afford, yet is perfectly happy to continue having more that he cannot afford. Clearly whatever else may be wrong with the article, you cannot deny the basic fact. Looks like a pretty fit man to spend the last 13 years humping away!

Do you know how much tax money goes towards benefits as opposed to all the other stupid shit this government pays for? And against how much money is lost through tax avoidance and big companies using every loop hole they can? This is a drop in the ocean. What we need is more money for preventative services and education and places this family can access support. Not job seekers sanctions and daily mail dick heads ripping people apart and blaming all the ills of society on a few families who have probably made poor choice, but who need help. But whatever, lets burn them all at the stake. Or just tell them all to pull themselves up by their knickers or whatever platitude you want to throw out next. It's exhausting and pointless. These stories are a tiny tiny fraction of a percent of benefits claimants. The daily mail is a hate filled pile of fucking goat wank and I wouldn't use it to line a litter box because I actually like my cat. So sick of all this. These daily mail threads should come with a health warning and reminder that you don't read that pile of shit for a reason.

the house looks well maintained on the outside. the damp needs cleaning and the walls painting over the pen marks.

but if you are arguing for a larger house, you don't clean the damp do you?

poor children.

eURO ARE you seriously telling me that your parents are right now living in a house with that much mould? And you too?

Are you also seriously implying that because you do not think you have been affected by your mould yet that no one else can be?

After living in - naively and stupidly a mouldy house for two months my DC cough worsened and developed into a lung infection in one lung, concurrent with mould infections.

So, lucky you if you live in that level of mould and are ok, but you also know what, one of the problems with mould is that, you do not know how it affected you. You may think you are ok now, but a few years down the line....
