They actually are on benefits as pointed out by Ealdwita - they get 53000 pounds a year in benefits from everyone else!! Is their house actually a Council House?? we are not told - but from the description as a having a former "Childrens Home? I suspect that is what the reality is.

So Cheap housing (probably paid for by Housing Benefits), MASSIVE Tax breaks, and no need to be responsible in the pro-creation department. These people are taking the system to breaking point, of course the Mother never has to work a day in her life, she just makes sure that she keeps at least 1 child under the age of 5yrs....

If I am being unreasonbly harsh then please tell me...I only had children when I knew that I could look after them,without any reliance on the State..

Most likely they do live in Council Housing,people like these and young single mothers are the scourge of the welfare system,although i do see that the British Government has finally stopped their automatic right to free housing.I will most likely get haranged for these comments but i don't care,its time to clamp down on the spongers and give the   honest hard working tax payer a break.

no your assesment is fair the problem as i see it is the goverment keeps banging on about the fact people knock out kids like shelling peas to get more money .the reason they do this isnt the benefit system they are attacking like disability living allowance or job seekers allowance its tax credits .the goverment always leave those alone because they keep company profits stupidly high at the expense of the tax payer .they need to be abolished and work needs to be made worthwhile again .as long as employers are able to pay there staff stupidly low tax payer subsidised wages this kind of thing is just going to keep happening.

"Mrs Radford, who lives with husband Noel and their children in Morecombe, Lancs, said she would now feel “lucky” to have even more."

Lucky indeed when there are couples who would give anything just to have the one child.

Speaking as I mother, I don't know how she copes with sixteen

She probably was prepared to have children...or i don't know either

Yes, if you discount nearly £11,500 per annum child benefit and, (if the breadwinner earns around £20,000 per year), the tax credits that amount to almost £43,000!

hmmm, now its making sense!
plus all the NHS costs for the children, and the schooling costs until each reach 16, free dental treatment for them all and the mother cos you get it free when you are pregnant, so seeing that she is permanently pregnant, she must have the best teeth in the country. yep, its costing us a fortune!

My old roomate from Laos had 15 siblings.  Of course they needed that many to work on the farm and half of them died before the age of 5 and it was the 3rd world.

my forefathers were the same, as was many others, but it was to work on the farms and as you say, and in those days many did die. This family do not have a farm and have the best NHS treatment, so it must be down to something else!!

Wow, I am the youngest of four and the oldest is 12 years older than me. My nephew is nine years younger than I am and I became a great aunt looong before I should have been considered a great anything...in that context.

I thought having more than four or five kids went out in the 19th century.

[little_dreamer]

I only have one sibling and sometimes we used to fight like cats and dogs.
