Family 'too fat to work' say £22,000 a year in benefits is not enough

[jumpy]

If nothing else they should be eligible for employment as ballast.

£22,508 a year in benefits, equivalent to the take-home pay from a £30,000 salary... that's more than our household earns combined working our arses off. Do they have no dignity?

The family claim to spend £50 a week on food and consume 3,000 calories each a day. The recommended maximum intake is 2,000 for women and 2,500 for men.
"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

Perhaps if they walked to the local veg market they'd loose some damned weight and find a cheaper source of greens.

The utter cheek of it.

Fat *****. Get a life that doesn't revolve around your lazy stomachs!
