    Jobless couple with 12 children are given a £500,000 home (and yes, you're paying!)

    A jobless couple with 12 children have been given a new home worth a staggering £500,000 - and it's the taxpayer who will fork the bill. Carl and Samantha Gillespie and their brood have been able to move in without worrying about rocketing house prices


    Why should we keep paying?

    This is nothing new. This is the country we live in.

    Money for those who can't be arsed to work, excessive tax for those that want to pay their way.

    Getting government handouts is a careere choice these days, rather than a fall-back net.


    That man should put a bloody condom on.

        It would cost tax payers more if the children were in foster care. I do not see why you would care or anyone else, unless you do not see all the facts first. I would assume it is cause you do not bother getting the facts first before jumping on a poverty stricken family.

        Why does the U.K. complain about immigration, cause they are unable to do the job themselves.

            I'm not talking about the one's who CAN't get work, i'm talking about the one's who REFUSE to get work, and see children as more government handouts.

            When asked why they don't work, the couple say that looking after their children is a full time job. And they claim they would earn less working than they do claiming the dole.

            Mr Gillespie has revealed that he quit a job at stacking shelves at Asda before he had even started, when he realised the £300 a week he would earn would result in a £400 benefits cut.
            Mr and Mrs Gillespie claim that they want to go out to work but would lose more than they gain.

                    I get really annoyed when I see this kind of thing happen, all because they've decided to pump kids out like bunny rabbits, they get handed everything for free.

                    Maybe he should get a job if he wants 12 kids, he even looks pathetic sat on that couch. Lazy ba*****

                          This is just more confirmation that people are out there milking the system. I know a family that has kids just to get more child subsidy from the government. The funny thing is that they dont work either! They have learned enough about the system to get as much out of it as you can. I just don't know how they can get a mortgage considering neither of them have a job.

                          This is the bottom line:

                          Kids = Financial Freedom

                          Maybe that family should write a book, something like this...
                          "How we made 12 kids, and moved into a half million dollar home"

                              I thought it was one child?
