BBC Documentary - Don't Cap My Benefits!

NOBODY forced you to have 4, 5 7 10 kids. NOBODY.

Can't afford the rent? Have more kids. Can't speak English? Have more kids. Don't have an education? Have more kids. Can't afford to eat? Have more kids. Don't feel like working? Have more kids. Life is so simple, just have more kids.

"What do you mean the government won’t pay for me and my 7 kids to live in London with no work?" Yeah, such an unfathomable injustice. Imagine a world where actions have consequences

"This free stuff being handed to me is not satisfying. Give me better free things. Do more for me. My family is your responsibility not mine." This is pretty much what I heard

"Avon won't feed 5 kids, I tried that when I had 3 kids" Well why the fuck did you have 2 more ?

Some one needs to tell everyone, condoms are cheaper than diapers,! ! !

I feel sorry for the council employees, who have to endure all the abuse from these people.

I agree with this benefit cap. The government has allowed people to think it's more beneficial to be on benefits. What that does is, it makes people comfortable and then afraid to change their circumstances in the fear they'll loose their benefits. When I was 16, I had a child. I was lucky, I had a job and made good money but not enough to pay all the bills. The benefits really helped me. I used the benefits I got to complete my education, I got my degree and then when my daughter was 4, went into full time work. Those benefits were a god send for me but I always wanted better. I'm 37 now, in London and a daughter who is all grown up and living independently. Benefits are there to help families not to support for the rest of their lives.

"this 3 bedroom house is no suitable for for me and my children..." says women who came from Ethiopia 12 years ago never worked a day and have such house for free to live in....WTF!?!?!?

people complaining about their free houses... wow

The fact that they suddenly become motivated to get a job when faced with cuts, is testament to the cap being effective to get people off benefit dependency

The lady who was living in a hostel with her 2 daughters hasn’t worked since she moved to Britain. Then she wanted to complain about the house she was offered. Wow. Just wow. The mom who ended up in a hostel knew that she was facing eviction for a long time and she still decided to get pregnant with her 3rd child. SMH. While people should be able to have as many kids as they want, it’s not up to the taxpayers to pay for them! Irresponsibility runs rampant!

let me get this straight, the guy has been in the UK for over 23 years had 7 kids and still doesn't have work to support them? why have 7 kids? why stay in London? why do you not have decent work after so long? why all three combination?

wtf is wrong with some people. They found him and his 7 kids a decent place in Birmingham. Give them new beds..washing machine..and they won't go.

I’m a small business owner in America who’s afraid of the lack of affordable housing, rising rents, and rising living costs. I work 7 days a week. For years. I paid off all my debt and saved everything I made to create as large a buffer as possible between me and hard times. I watched this English documentary because I thought I’d identify with them somehow. But I was honestly shocked to see an immigrant woman with 2 children who hasn’t had any job at all for 12 years?! And she was complaining to the Brits trying to find her a place to sleep that it wasn’t good enough?! The refugee man had 7 kids and complained the Brits didn’t do enough for his children, as if it’s their citizens tax dollars and governments responsibility to provide a life for them? I couldn’t believe my ears. The Brit woman won’t work 16 hours a week?! A week to improve her situation and had the nerve to say the government was “happy to evict her.” It sounded like she was happy to ignore her minimum responsibility of working 16 hours s week to stay in her apartment and blamed them! I’m sure it’s hard to live in England, especially London if you’re low income, but wow. These people are irritably not trying hard enough, if at all to improve their situations, or in the case of the father of 7, was extremely reckless to father so many children. Just wow

Council workers should be trained to repeatedly say “Its such a shame that you’ve allowed this to happen to your family” it’s disgusting that some people think it’s another persons job to look after their family.

If you don't pay your rent alone you can't pick where to live. End of the story

The wife of this Palestinian guy: has seven children, can't even speak proper English, has not worked a single day in her life, yet she acts as if someone is supposed to take care of her situation all the time... too bad for the children. This is ridiculous!

7 kids under 9?! And you expect all and a big house in London?! 😂😂😂

I absolutely agree with this !!! Stop having so many kids You can’t afford to keep . I have 3 kids, paid for childcare , nursery , after school care - this is outrageous !!! My kids grew up with both parents working - all have university degrees and worked part time jobs whilst at school , college, Uni . We are not a well off family but I am proud that we worked hard and instilled this ethic in our kids When you have parents abusing benefits their kids don’t know any better and so the cycle continues.
