Three Generations of Welfare

This story is about a family in Britain. Known as the "Shameless" family among horrified neighbours, the McFaddens "boast" three generations of adults who are not working.
All ten members of the clan share a council house and live off benefits amounting to around £32,000 a year. And very happy they are, too.
Matriarch is grandmother Sue McFadden, 54. "Our neighbours are so snobby - they call us the "Shameless" family and say that we ought to go out to work. But how can we work when we have all these children to look after?
Jean Thompson, right, with son Steven and granddaughter Jessica, who says: 'It is my right to claim benefits'. All ten members of her family share a three-bedroom council house
"The only problem is," she says without a hint of irony, "that we're living in a three-bedroom council house, which is ridiculous.
"I'm asking the council for a ten-bedroom home for all of us.

If they lived next door to me they wouldn't be "shameless", they'd just be "fucking butt ugly".

I think they tried to get jobs, but were unable to be hired due to one key part of the application process...
We're sorry, you just too damned ugly to be seen working here.
Britain must have a high rate of unemployment. I would love to visit and see all of the beautiful cites and architecture... as long as they locked all those ghastly ugly brits inside thier homes.
Especially gazza.

Can we ban these bots in DM and other servers that just spam bad jokes non-stop? I tried to join earlier and it took me 15 minutes to get in because there were about 10 of them connected
