"Too fat to work" Family claim benefits are not enough.

They could easily work, they aren't that fat. Also, this is my favourite part of the article:

"What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It's not our fault we can't work. We deserve more."

If there was ever an advertisement denouncing the welfare state, it's this lot.

Instead of giving them more money, surely better medical care and dieting advice would be better in the long term.

Didn't see it. I prefer this one anyway. I'm kind of glad I don't know what IBTL means.

The family is big enough for 2 threads.;)

There are plenty of jobs that involve sitting on your arse all day doing nothing.

Lazy fat f*cks, give them less money and forced visits with a dietitian/trainer

the government should provide them with an incentive to reduce weight.

"All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight," she added.

I just had to laugh at that. If they dont eat fruit and veg then what the hell would someone eat? chips for dinner again today

We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner," Mrs Chawner told Closer magazine.

"All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We're fat because it's in our genes. Our whole family is overweight," she added.

how is fruit and veg to expensive

i can go to dunnes now and buy a cabbage for 1 euro ad feed all the family

weemcd

It's not our fault we can't work.

who's fault is it then, you fat fúcker?

of course it's your fault.

Actually annoys me looking at their fat fúcking smug faces, its like they know they're taking the piss.

no img's in AH is a fail btw

That's a farce I'm 17st (leaner too) and T1 diabetic AND I'm working in the UK... so they are basically LAZY

In my defence, the duplicate of this thread was on AH page 2 when I started this one and who actually goes to second page of AH?:pac:

CamperMan

I have seen fat but that really does take the p!ss

They could be employed in the waste disposal business, they could eat all the refuse that gets dumped in the Blackburn area!

In the article is says "The family claim to spend £50 a week on food" .. they have got to be joking, who are they trying to fool!

Reducing their payouts to zero would mean no money thus no food thus loss of weight. Quite easy really!

Dartz

I fail to see how a love for McDonalds is a hereditary condition. Either was, If their benefits are cut off, the ***** wont starve

Has anyone actually looked at the picture?


They're not even that big. I mean, don't get me wrong, they're big, but not big enough to stop them from working. I'm a fat bastard, and they all look capable of doing the same jobs i've done (Production line, sales assistant, photographer, general opeative, cabinet maker, etc.)



If you're too lazy to get a job at least have the decency to blame it on the recession.

BlitzKrieg

hmmm

While I wouldnt be prone to admitting it in after hours (cause most of you are dicks), anyone who has met me in person at any the beers know I am quite a large fella and I have no trouble finding work and dont claim dole.


Their weight has nothing to do with it, and they give fat people who try and improve their life regardless of their weight a bad name. f*cking wasters

How?

Not saying fruit and veg are expensive, though they do cost more to create a meal then pre-made processed crap, but if you're going to make a statement like that back it up.

We deserve more.

The call of the stupid, the lazy, and those with an attitude of entitlement.

Whatever happened to rights being balanced by responsibilities?

Families like this always live in the north, just goes to show why there are so many unemployed up there, they are all lazy bastards. Oh yeah and the small matter of maggie closing all the coal mines.

Isn't it amazing two people met, fell in love, married and had kids and years later discover they suffer from the same hereditry infliction.
