It's tragic. Imagine having 6 kids at 20. Imagine being incapacitated by alcoholism at 20.
He should be given treatment for his alcohol dependency, and should lose benefits if he refuses. Once he is clean, either he or his wife should work and the other one look after the children.
The current set up gives no motivation for this guy to sort his life out, and in fact encourages him to keep it exactly as it is.

Hear bloody hear! This is way too much like common sense. No one in authority would implement it. :rolleyes:
A completely irresponsible idiot and the worse bit of all WE are all keeping him. If I had my way he would get NO benefits at all.
Seems he has 5 children living with him, drinking copious alcohol throughout the day, living on benefits. Begs the question, what fed the children as booze ain't cheap?

By being an alcoholic unable to work? I don't think so. Never mind the vasectomy he needs drying out pronto. No-one can help him unless he wants to help himself.

He sure does, but keep the vasectomy on course. It is a bit too late for that, but better late than never!
I shudder to think what kind of parent he will make, in any case!

Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending guys like this one little bit, it grieves me just as much as the rest of you, but, in a way I would say good on him - he obviously plays the system to get as much as he can out of it. If I had no morals, ethics, cares or sense, I'd like to think a life like that would be an option. Seems to me it's the system that's wrong, and us suckers who fund it!

I'm surprised he could get it up to have the 6 kids.
I'm surprised he's not dead.

I also don't think I have ever heard of anyone who has incapacity benefit for a drink problem??
How ridiculous! :mad:
Alcoholics and drug addicts are eligible for incapacity benefit among other things, Disability Living Allowance being one. My friend works in the DSS.

Totally agree re the vasectomy, the man is a menace without it. It makes me very sad to think of the innocent children involved.
whoops, I thought you meant father at six of 20
Don't you have this is the wrong way round?
Surely he drinks 72 bottles a day *because* he has 6 kids
Spot on mamasan.
Even if bottles of beer cost 50p each that'd cost him 25 grand a week!
Not to mention the fact he'd be consuming about 8 bottles an hour!
Emmm how can 72 bottles of beer a day at 50p each per week cost 25 grand?
I done the maths and it is only £252 per week.
That is just £13,104 per year.
I know what I did wrong. Easy mistake to make- I forgot to convert pence to pounds.
By the way it's "I did the maths". We've corrected each other now; we're even.
Disgusting.
hi
sounds like a right ********.
he is probably drinking stubbies.... still a lot of beer though....
