Where your tax money goes

The Mail reports the case of the mother expecting her 14th child who has vowed to keep having children until she has twins.

The "lady" in question is picking up £50,000 a year in benefits.

The justification is hard work and a need to give birth to twins:

"(xxx) begins her chores at 4am every morning and keeps the house spotless to avoid being tagged a layabout scrounger.

She said: 'If people saw us living in a pigsty they would say that we were a scrounging, low-life family who begged from the state.

...

'And that's so not true. Even when I'm straight I can't put my feet up. I've been known to take down curtains at midnight and wash them.'

She added: 'We have a lot of bunkbeds and cots. All the furniture in the bedrooms is on wheels so that we can move it at bedtime.

'Baudelaire sleeps in a travel cot, and a couple of the lads use an airbed. It's a squash and a squeeze, but it's cosy. It's home.'

Now 20 weeks' pregnant with baby number 14, (xxx) is preparing to welcome the clan's latest arrival - and already planning for more.

She said: 'I wanted two - that's the disappointing part of this pregnancy. But there's always next time. I'm going to keep trying, that's for sure.'"

Thirteen babies, one on the way and a determination to have more; I am sorry but why should the public pay for anyone to squeeze out babies over and over again?
