£27,000, in dollars that’s $40,741.50 and no taxes to pay.  the benefits system

This really is outlandish.  Hey, do ppl still use that word?

I have read her excuse and pardon me but ... there’s also a vasectomy he could have had long ago.

She says none of the birth control methods have worked. Even condoms failed. Really?  All those many times?  What’s he doing? Reusing them?

I feel sorry for the children though.  I really do.  There has been no thought I do not think, of the result of their lifestyle.  For these kids, this is the norm.
What’s their future going to be?
More than likely a copy of mommy and daddy.  We can hope the heck not, but they are starting a young life with cards stacked against them.

Jobless couple who claim £27,000 a year benefits want a new council house because they’ve had SIX children ‘by accident’ while living in a one-bedroom flat

Maggie Flisher and husband Gavin have not worked since first baby in 2005

Mrs Flisher says she is ‘super-fertile’ - which makes contraception fail

She says she has begged her doctor for sterilisation but is too young

They say the council has ignored their demands for a new home for 8 years

A jobless couple are demanding a new four-bedroom council house after having six children in their one-bedroom flat because the mother claims she is so ‘super-fertile’ it stops contraception working.

Maggie Flisher, 26, and husband Gavin, 30, who get £27,000 a year in benefits, have not had jobs since the birth of their first child in 2005.

Mrs Flisher claims she cannot help getting pregnant and says they have needed a bigger home ever since they started their family eight years ago.

She blames repeated failures with the pill, condoms, arm implants and a contaceptive injection for five out of six of the pregnancies.

Mrs Flisher says she cannot work because she is depressed and Gavin, 30, has to stay in their cramped home to look after her and their family.

Their three eldest children Lacieann, eight, Elektra, six, and Gavin Jnr, five, all currently sleep in the only bedroom.

They currently get an annual total of £22,900 in benefits, including £540-a-month in jobseekers allowance, child benefit of £85-a-week and child tax credit of £1,000 a month.

They also get housing benefit of £270-a-month to pay the rent on their flat in Maidstone, Kent.

‘I’ve been here ten years but I’ve wanted to move since I had my first child and she’s eight now,’ Mrs Flisher said.

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
