I sense a lot of envy on this thread.
😉😁😁.

Why would anyone be envious about being raped as a child, made pregnant at 13, then kept pregnant until the menopause? It’s really nothing to be jealous about.

He may have a pie shop now but I bet he didn’t when he started breeding at 18. It’s very creepy and they’re unbelievably thick. Her parents must be morons too for not having him arrested years ago

Do you refer to other people who have had children, as them breeding?

This explains it perfectly!!

Both parents were adopted, from babies I understand, so weren’t brought up in care.

Not sure as a family they are net contributors, especially as elder children are now having numerous children.

It’s only the social media stuff that takes in the money, can’t believe the bakery made enough money in the early days without the need of some form of benefits

@wateringcanface breeding choices? They're humans not dogs!

It's very rare to have that many kids. The school places they take are a tiny drop in the ocean! It's not like other families are rushing to follow suit!

It is still breeding. And I guess simular to breeding dogs, they are producing off spring for financial gain.

There doesn’t seem to be much motivation in the older children to have a meaningful career. The boys seem to lay in bed or sit around and play games. The Dad seems handy at DIY and has done a lot to the home in the past, building beds etc, but the boys seem incapable of simple DIY or looking after themselves. They don’t seem to have any hobbies, play instruments etc. They can’t have much one to one time with their parents. One girl went to uni, briefly, and now works in the pie shop. One of the boys joined the RAF and lasted five minutes. Another girl seems to be taking after her mother and has already produced three babies. They do go on an amazing amount of holidays, and also get freebies. They have a motor home too, and lots of dogs. The frequent birthdays mean massive piles of presents, and Christmas is a present opening marathon.
What started out as a document about a struggling, large family and how they coped with everyday life, is now like a bragging fest, a publicity seeking contrived soap opera.
I’ve watched them from the very beginning, and wonder if the bubble will burst when people tire of it all.

@LadyKenya yeah. Problem?

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.

All children generally become taxpayers.... think of it as 2 people have created 22 future taxpayers who will work, pay tax so you can draw your pension.

The family are as thick as pigshit. Clearly haven't heard of the word CONTRACEPTION. Breeding 22 children. Imagine if everyone had that. The world would be more fucked than it is already...

Lol. Or more like take up 22 council houses and claim universal credit.

Startinganew32 · 17/12/2024 19:04

They are awful and the dad is creepy and gross for getting a 13 year old pregnant. They have neglected their children big time. They have absolutely relied on the state. Him owning a bakery in no way provides him with an income to support a family of 20. What utter bullshit. Their kids are hardly growing into budding teachers and doctors are they? Don’t think any of them went to uni and they are starting on the breeding route too. They are a drain on the state and awful parents. Why do people like them so much? Guessing because they are white.

! So wrong, bringing the colour of someone’s skin, into this!!!

I bet anything that if the Radford family originated from Pakistan or Somalia that people and the Daily Mail wouldn’t be such big fans.

Except most are not taxpayers. All the older children are on benefits of some kind and in social housing. Now times that by 21 and I call that a burden on society.

Oh dear, one of those families. Apologies, I don't follow the family so I ony have a vague knowledge of them. Forget I mentioned it.😀

Because that’s what makes them breeders. It’s totally irresponsible and unnecessary to have that many children, it does not benefit society, the children have gone on to be as useless as the parents. “Because I want to” is not a good reason for people to engage in this sort of behaviour.
The biggest joke is the pie shop. As IF that brings in the 6k or so a month that you’d need to adequately feed, house and clothe a family of that size. And if they were so loaded then their oldest kids wouldn’t be on benefits.

namechangeGOT · 17/12/2024 19:17

@LadyKenya Do you think flogging your kids, the majority of who cannot give their consent, is good parenting?

Do you think people should be given a platform to sell their kids online?

Do you not think the television & social media companies have a responsibility to protect children unable to give consent from people willing to throw away their right to privacy?

Children are not supposed to access social media until, what is it? 13? Yet scum parents can sell them to anyone online?

If people actually give a fuck about children's right to decide then they would stop watching this shit and unfollow on social media, but of course, they won't. Because they don't give a shit.
