    Tories consider Castrating the Unemployed ?

    Unemployed 'father-of-eight' slammed over benefits

    Monday, 20 September 2010

    An unemployed 25-year-old who is reported to have fathered eight children with eight different women resulting in a potentially massive benefits bill was held up today as an example of a "disgusting abuse" of the welfare system.

    Keith Macdonald, 25, from Washington, near Sunderland, has been labelled as Britain's worst father.

    According to reports, he has fathered eight children and has two more on the way.
    Some estimates put the benefits bill for his brood - none of whom live with him - at the £1.5 million mark for the period until they are all 18.

    Mr Macdonald's lifestyle was criticised today by groups monitoring welfare spending.

    Matthew Sinclair, the director of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said: "Taxpayers will be furious that their money is being spent supporting one man to have so many children, with so many different women, without any apparent attempt to provide for them himself.

    "This is a disgusting abuse of a benefits system that is supposed to look after those who have genuinely fallen on hard times.

    "It is shocking that someone can be so indifferent to their responsibilities."
    According to reports, Mr Macdonald pays £5 a week from his Incapacity Benefit towards his children's upbringing.

    "Incapacity Benefit".....bad back ?


    On the other hand this man is attempting to redress the age imbalance which is currently threatening to cause the collapse of the pension system.

    It's his absolute yuman rite to have kids, and also to demand the Nanny feed, clothe, house, educate, treat and otherwise care for them so they can breed more of the same.

    It's also one of the reasons why UK plc is due for involuntary liquidation anytime soon.

    Not much point in critcising the guy when the benefit system supports his actions. He and his children will only receive what the government has officially declared as fair entitlement.

    Perhaps that statement should be directed at the government

    I did a couple of years ago think about updating my national insurance so I could get the old age pension, country will either bankrupt by the time I'm old enough or retirement age will be 85 or more.

    The games nearly up for arseholes like this. The tories and lib dems are making some very interesting noises about saving 15 billion quid from the dole bill over the next few years.

    For those who didn't see it, they said something along these lines "those who have chosen benefits as a way of life will find themselves cut off, the main reason being that the money to pay them simply isnt there"

    The current gov are starting to send the message that there simply isnt enough money to meet obligations, which is fine by me as long as they target cunts like the bloke in the op and don't cut the money to the vulnerable and needy.

    Funny, guess they don't have birth control in the UK? How many other kiddies do the mums have and why are they all on welfare anyway?

    The UK social welfare system needs a major overhaul, as does any welfare system that financially benefits folk to act in socially unproductive or damaging ways.

    It's the latest liberal invention, Jet, all you have to do is be born and the state takes care of the rest.

    How do we feel about a work for bennies scheme. maybe only part time on government projects that wouldn't otherwise take any full time jobs off the market and that would leave him time to look for a job which he would have to prove he was doing and if he got offered a job he would have to take it or lose the bennies. course in this case it's the welfare mothers who are recieving the bennies so makes it a bit more difficult but maybe they could be put to work doing piece work in the home.

    Buy Socialism Now, Pay for It Later.

    They can make any noises they like but it's too late for our glorious leaders to more than delay the inevitable. The only way for UK and Europe (and US) to survive is for its 'experts' to keep passing around the monopoly money in the full knowledge that each member is too big to fail because the first that does will drag them all down.

    Meanwhile the plebs can't see beyond demanding their 'entitlement'.

    8 Kids.

    Broke.

    What a loser. Kids will be screwed in this day and age. Should the gov subsidize behavior. Ever heard of birth control?
