U.K. Family With 7 Kids Gets £42,000 Per Year Courtesy Of The Brit Taxpayer

35-year-old Peter Davey and his 29-year-old wife Claire have 7 children ranging from the age of 2 to 12, and they're expecting their 8th in a few months. They are aiming for 14 total. They live in a nice 4-bedroom home on the Isle of Anglesea, with all the requisite luxuries: 2 vehicles (one of which is a Mercedes Benz) the 42 inch flat screen TV with the £50 a month cable, not one but three Nintendo DS machines, the computer and 4 cell phones and who knows what else. They are also very generous with their kids making sure each of the 7 gets 4 presents on their birthdays and they spent £2,000 on Christmas gifts last year. According to Claire "Santa is always generous in our house."

Well, that's all well and good if Peter Davey and his wife were actually working hard to deserve the good life, but the fact is, Peter hasn't worked for 9 years and Claire never has because she's obviously been too busy popping out children every few years. So, you ask, how do they support themselves in such a decent lifestyle? Simple: the taxes that hardworking Brits, who do have jobs, pay to the government. Peter and Claire realized they could make more money by not working and they are all too happy to leach off the state.

'It doesn't bother me that taxpayers are paying for me to have a large family,' added Mrs Davey. 'We couldn't afford to care for our children without benefits, but as long as they have everything they need, I don't think I'm selfish. 'Most of the parents at our kids' school are on benefits.' She added: 'I don't feel bad about being subsidised by people who are working. I'm just working with the system that's there. 'If the government wants to give me money, I'm happy to take it. We get what we're entitled to. I don't put in anything because I don't pay taxes, but if I could work I would.'

Not only do they not care about their parasitic lifestyle, they are not even grateful that they are receiving over £42,000 a year, that's £815-per-week in handouts.

'It's really hard,' said Mrs Davey, 29, who is seven months' pregnant. 'We can't afford holidays and I don't want my kids living on a council estate and struggling like I have. 'The price of living is going up but benefits are going down. My carer's allowance is only going up by 80p this year and petrol is so expensive now, I'm worried how we'll cope. 'We're still waiting for somewhere bigger.'

She's upset they can't afford holidays? They apparently met in a pub when Claire was only 16 and within a year she started breeding. The eldest, Jessica, is 12. Then there's

Jade, ten, Jamie-Anne, eight, Harriet, six, Adele, four, the couple's only son Tie, three, and Mercedes, two.

Not only are they receiving the following

.. income support, housing benefit, child tax credits and a council tax discount,

they also get disability for one of their children who has a skin disease and carer's allowance. And to add insult to injury, this same family who has been solely supported by the state for 9 years managed to get into £20,000 debt. 18 months ago they had to file for bankruptcy after spending that amount of money on mail order goods. Not wanting to sound like a parasite Claire apparently claims that her hubby would work 'as long as we could still afford the lifestyle we have now'.

Well, don't we all want a comfortable lifestyle? But the reality is that in most places you have to work hard for that, and this is the fundamental problem with nanny states- there are those who are incredibly lazy and would rather have other people work hard to support them. So here's a woman who wants 14 children, and and has found a perfect way of having them without having to find a way to support her brood. And this is what she has to say to those who might be critical of her choices: "I've always wanted a big family - no one can tell me how many kids I can have whether I'm working or not."
