Boris has SEVEN kids now

26 replies

Annoys me how working class families like the Radfords (22 kids with successful business & don't take any money from the state) and other working class people with large families get vilified, yet Boris has had three wives & SEVEN kids and no one says a thing.

I don't think they should but the double standard is annoying!

Prince William recently made comments about population growth in developing countries destroying the environment, despite the fact that pollution per capita and carbon footprint is FAR lower in the developing world. I don't hear environmentalists commenting on Boris bringing 7 kids into the world!

Noone knows the number for sure.

GattioAnyone · 09/12/2021 11:24

Which is tragic.

Bollocknays · 09/12/2021 11:31

7 at least….

Nobody actually knows Grin

7 children between 4 adults doesn’t sound a huge number.

I think the Redford get vilified because of the grooming and abuse of Sue, the mental health issues and the way they treat their children more than the fact they have a lot of them. And they absolutely do take money from the state. Just because they don't claim JSA/UC doesn't mean they take nothing. If you want to use an example at least choose a good one.

Er, plenty of people have criticised Boris for his number of offspring and ex wives!

RedToothBrush · 09/12/2021 11:39

At least 7.

Twizbe · 09/12/2021 11:44

Lots of people comment on Johnson and his many children by many women.

It sounds fine as numbers. As humans less so.
CagneyNYPD1 · 09/12/2021 11:50

Yep, 7 at least.

CagneyNYPD1 · 09/12/2021 11:51

Oh and I do hope his young daughter Stephanie has a lot of support around her right now. That poor girl.

StrangerThanSpring · 09/12/2021 11:53

He's 57, right?

Maybe time to get the ✂️ out.

Perching · 09/12/2021 11:54

Do you honestly think the Radfords take no money from the state…?

StrangerThanSpring · 09/12/2021 11:57

@CagneyNYPD1

I wonder if he ever sees her.

I'm sure he pays, but it must be hard for her and his older kids.

LadyCatStark · 09/12/2021 11:59
  1. Plenty of people do criticise him.
  2. 7 is a lot less than 22.
  3. The Radfords do take money from the state.
YellowDots · 09/12/2021 12:02

I'm no fan of Johnson but aren't some of his dc adults now and as Prime Minister surely he can afford seven (or more) children anyway. Not that seven is in any way comparable to twenty two.

Of course the Radford's don't support all of those children baking bread.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/12/2021 12:03

22 kids and one wage earner

7 kids and 5 wage earners

Meh

GattioAnyone · 09/12/2021 12:08

Again 7 into 5 wage earners sounds fine. (Not in itself bound to be great for the planet however.)
As a family set up it sounds sad. And multiple well off households will probably use more energy.

GattioAnyone · 09/12/2021 12:09

Better for a consumer economy which is not the same as good for the environment.

luverlybubberly · 09/12/2021 12:09

It's at least 7 kids and a regular source of homes and derision. The women he's had children with (seem to) be financially independent enough not to need child benefit etc. The "seem to" comment is because we allegedly don't know about all of his children hence not knowing who all the mothers are.

The Radfords clearly have other sources of revenue or investments like inheritances. Don't follow them so no idea what kind of freebies they are sent as influencers but a pie shop isn't going to keep a family of 24 going, never mind house them.

5zeds · 09/12/2021 12:28

@GattioAnyone It sounds fine as numbers. As humans less so. explain

Roundeartheratchriatmas · 09/12/2021 12:33

Ive heard it’s more than 7 but something about a super injunction Hmm

MrsMiddleMother · 09/12/2021 12:38

Neither are families anyone should look up to. And many people do comment badly on how many children with different mothers Boris has. There's also a HUGE difference between 7 children between 4 women, with enough money behind them for nannies and 2 parents with 22 kids, relying on the elder of those kids to nanny the younger ones.

I call him 'Von Trapp' now
