A family which is so obese that they cannot work has convinced the government to pay them the equivalent of a substantial salary in benefits; not satisfied, they demand even more, saying “We deserve more”, and claiming that “All that healthy food is too expensive.”
The Chawner family claims £22,500 ($33,000, or $45,000 prior to the UK’s recent economic collapse) annually in benefits, having lived off state handouts without working for 11 years.
Still, even this is not enough and they demand more:
“What we get barely covers the bills and puts food on the table. It’s not our fault we can’t work. We deserve more.”
The family:
From left to right, daughter Emma (19) weighs 107kg, mother Audrey (57) and father Philip (53) each weigh 157kg, and eldest daughter Samantha (21) weighs in at 114kg.
In total, the family comes in at some 525kg.
The gargantuan clan claim economic hardship forces them to eat vast quantities of unhealthy food, whilst advancing the contradictory claim that they are suffering a genetic condition:
“All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive. We’re fat because it’s in our genes. Our whole family is overweight.”
Their diet, coming to 3,000 calories a day each, much more than the usual recommended maximums, leaves little doubt as to how they attained their exaggerated girth:
“We have cereal for breakfast, bacon butties for lunch and microwave pies with mashed potato or chips for dinner.”
Their benefits come in the form of “Jobseeker’s Allowance” (unemployment benefit), income support and “incapacity benefit”, as well as a disability allowance for Mrs Chawner’s asthma and epilepsy, a result of her weight. Additional money for conditions such as heart disease and diabetes top off the largesse.
Emma excuses herself with the claim that she is too busy training to be a hairdresser to exercise, and then pleas ignorance:
“I’m a student and don’t have time to exercise; we all want to lose weight to stop the abuse we get in the street, but we don’t know how.”

Possibly a similar genetic condition afflicts a certain comedy idol…

Thats some grade F bulldroppings. Student cant excercise? Most universities have gymnasiums a walking distance away from the dorms. Of course students have time, most dont sleep more than 3 hours a day. She cant be spending all that time studying, not only is it monotonous, studying for extended periods of time often results on very poor memory retention.
What a bunch of lazy fucks.
This is sad. No shame whatsoever. Just looking for handouts. The least they can do is work for all that food they're devouring.
Man the harpoons!
First and foremost, bad topic pic. I cried after seeing Miku like that. (;_;)
On the subject, WTF do they think they're kidding? Part of their problem is that they DON'T RESPECT THEMSELVES! I'm a bit over 300 lbs., but I can take steps to get back to 300 or about 280 (if I want to). I don't eat as much as I used to, I have to walk around campus for most of the day, so I'm pretty healthy.
These obese idjits haven't even made an attempt to even eat healthy, walk more and exercise when they can. Send their asciis to Gitmo before it closes to help them work off most of that fat they've accumulated.
Remember ppl, this may be a glimpse of what you could continue to see with flawed nat'l health care systems.
***** End of Trolling PSA *****
Disgusting.
and this folks, is why socialism is fucking stupid. especially the UK's brand of extensive welfare for the unemployed and pig-fat lazy.
For a second, I thought the family was going to be from Japan, and then I read UK and it made me feel relieved that at least some parts of the world are still not as horribly stupid.
God this is awful.
Buncha bullshit i say. Used to work at Monaco Coach Corp. and I worked a guy that was bigger than them. Sure he was just drivin a forklift but he was still at least workin.
Four words:
Krusty Brand Immitation Gruel
they all fail completely
LOSE SOME FUCKING Waight FAT BASTARDS !
I AM GOING TO MY HEAD OFFICE AND TELL THEM ABOUT THIS IF THERE GOING TO GET MORE MONEY I WONT BE PAYIN TAX
114kg may be obese, but its certainly no where near enough to stop you working checkout somewhere for example(I've seen plenty of people that way this much, or more, working in various retail sectors). Do that full time and one of them would make as much as they're receiving in benefits.
*'weight' not 'way'. My mind failed ><
Tabloid junk
I'd do unspeakably horrible things to Chunky Miku. <3
I am with, for, and love you, Maxchain. Let us rejoice in what is known forever, as Miku Chunky.
Damn fat people... Chubby Miku looks cute though...
they don't wanna go to work because they were too fat?
how about they just make this guiness record:
"the most biggest lobotomy surgery that mankind ever did"
since they are government pet, and nobody cares if they die or not, might as well make them as test subject of lobotomy surgery development.
so their lazy ass can still be useful.
and even if they die, they still can be called as martyr of lobotomy development
how's that?
whoa how come i didn't see this in the papers. i would of laughed really loud in the bus on my way to work
BECAUSE
the newspaper counts it as small & useless topic
which artefact good at finding it
or maybe, this is some months ago news, you must be missing it if you're busy not, like those lazy fucks above's
i never read my country newspaper tho :D
indonesian here
i checked it, it was posted in 17th march 2009
in UK.telegraph.co
god, this hate somehow turns me to search more info to ridicule this fat sloth's!
i'm a 105 kg and i'm currently starting to start my jogging again!
Shit, I'm fat as fuck (well, maybe not as fat as these fucks) and even I don't going to stoop that low. Weight isn't a barrier to work, just to getting laid.
Also, Pleasantly Plump Miku is still cute as all get out.
"Don't going to stoop that low"
... Maybe I should stoop to an English class though *facepalm*
They can walk and get groceries, they can walk and go to work. There are jobs they can do. I can see with the one with asthma and epilepsy, but the others are fine. (look at the picture)
:sigh: Whatever, it's their government trying to look good...
Make them join the British army, that way they would lose some weight and at the same time they could be of some use to the british society
if the world's heaviest person gets to work out all day,why can't they?Their sloth-like laziness is such a disgrace.
At least it isn't the United States this time.
I'd love to see Marjorie Dawes have a go at them.
You know, the man looks kinda like a fisherman.
He should've learned how to man the harpoons...
It's like the story of Moby Dick, only in this case Ahab married the White Whale and produced two humanoid sea creatures.
Those fat looseeerrsss need to start working.
damn it don't they have the slightest bit of shame? is their shame covered by that fatness??
It's in their genes? Its not their fault? I think it's bullshit! They just dont have even a slightest drip of will power. While it's true that some ppl's metabolism making them fat more intensively than other, every fat fucking pig have the ability to loose weight, they just dont know what is "hard enough" means. Losers.
Diet, exercises, gym.
the average UK salary is 25,000 Euro per year (19,000 after taxes) The avrage income of a welfare family in Britain *coughmuslimsuncough* is 21,000 Euros after taxes.
This what we call the "JOHN GALT" line the point in Ayn Rand's atlas shrugged where the workers led by John Galt realized they made more collecting welfare then working full time.
In America you can still make more part time then welfare at minimum wage but i work full time. I wouldn't if America had a UK level John Galt line.
Funny.
I weigh 140 kilos, yet I can still work. Sometimes even more efficiently than most who are half of my weight.
And my work doesn't involve paperwork, but more of walking around and sometimes even running around for an hour continuously.
Those fatasses should just try to be a lil more active and they might even be able to be FAT and still be hardworking.
One more thing...
WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY EVEN PUT ON THE TABLE DURING DINNER?! FOLDS OF LARD LADEN HAM AND FUCKING QUADRUBLE FUDGE CHOCO CAKE FOR DESERT?!
Spend less on food and spend more on gym membership.
You know, on one hand I'd say show a little sympathy but as a big guy myself I can't have -any- sympathy for these gits.
I work, I have a job and I DO NOT try to take what I have not earned.
These people are simply lazy welfare whores.
THIS is what happens when the liberals call the shots, liberals like a certain new president COUGHTobamaCOUGH.
Why doesn't the British government tell them to go work off all of that... hideous fat? If the family doesn't comply, then they shouldn't get any 'compensation' whatsoever.
I mean, they basically told those trying to immigrate from the middle east that they weren't allowed to when I was over there in the summer of '08, or maybe I heard wrong.
Either way. :/
People like this are examples for why to abolish welfare.
Amazing news: drink fucking water and have some vitamin pills. Don't eat anything with calories until you dropped the weight.
All that 'your metabolism slows' stuff is bullshit, if you have water and vitamins your body will just go into ketosis. You'll feel lethargic, yes, but suck it up.
The UK gov should get them one of those bike cars and make them use it for all trips less then 5 miles as that would solve two problems at once.
They'll get exercise to loose a few pounds and save money on gas thus not require any extra money.
God I hate these assholes. They actually end up believing their bullshit too.
3000 kcals? WTF? I'm 189 cm 72 kg and I usually eat around 4000 kcals. Used to weigh more, but that was when I ate about 5000-6000 kcals. These whales probably eat like 10k kcals per, minimum.
someone needs to send them to fat camp
bloody bastards , if they are too fat to work then lets throw them in gulag . This is disgusting and insulting considering all the starving children .
So, this is the graphic depiction of the concept "EURO TRASH".
funny how im 114kg and im not to fat to work though im 185cm and none of them look taller then 160cm
3000 kcals? Wow, maybe they are ill. At 189cm/79kg, I generally knock down 3500-4000 kcals daily, and start loosing weight very fast whenever I don't.
PS the brits should consider deporting them to America. They'd fit RIGHT IN =)
Look at this on the bright side. Once they're dead, they can make soap with their remains. =P
And before someone comes calling me a nazi, bite me. Those slobs aren't that fat that they can't work. They're just fucking lazy.
All they do is eat fattening food.
Despite what many posts say, fat people don't deserve to die.. Maybe forced to run around a football field and every time they slow down get a shock from a cattle prod, sure.. but not death..
I blame ignorance. These people are obviously convinced that there is a fat gene and that they can't help being who they are... It is sad that people let themselves get so bad and still find something to blame other than themselves
I betcha like 50% of the posters saying smack about em are just as if not fatter.
fucking sick tho. that's what i'm talking about. amer-er, british dream.
live off the fucking government. damn bourgeois country. wish our country is like that, then just gain weight and voila, easy money. fuck work! live off the hard working people. fuck yeah.
I've seen people way more fat than them and they take the bus and have one or two jobs. I'm also fat as hell and I'm doing regular stuff.
Who the hell wails about "being too fat"? that's reality; you fucked yourself now it's time to go on a diet.
Stop crying to the government, stop stealing tax payers' money and go get a job, fatties.
I doubt these fatsos would survive if this were Charles D. Britannia's Britain. ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!!!
Just a little bit of shame and you all loose
I'm overweight and I don't have a Job nor girlfriend.
Send me money!
Yeah... right...
WTHeck??
A lame excuse~ No benefits for slackers~
They just don't want to lose weight from start. I'm a student too and I still have time to do some sport or exercise.
They just a bunch of fatty and lazy try to take advantage from their fat
Idiots just complete idiots manipulating people so they could get their already fat asses even fatter..
Come on Living in poverty forces them to eat unhealthy food that's complete bullshit if that were true then I would be as fat as an OX
90% of the population in africa would be morbidly obese if what they claim is right..
These guys should be fed to the dogs or something better yet do what C27 said below....
Two words spring to mind over this whole issue:
Soylent Green. 'Nuff said. I can see it rolling towards us.
“All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive."
Lol, nice joke. I eat a complete balanced (rice+veggies+meat) meal in a regular restaurant, and the price is quarter cheaper than any cheapest dish you can get in KFC.
“All that healthy food, like fruit and veg, is too expensive.”
-- well, the most inexpensive food i know of, instant noodles, is a bit unhealthy. but i am not sure that that family eats that and only that for the past 11 years.
however i do agree with some who said that this family should be deported somewhere, perhaps to a farm somewhere, where they are forced to work their fat asses for their food.
Wow.....I never knew being fat is government's fault.
How can the daughter Emma only weigh 107kg? She's gotta be under declaring her weight. That's easily 150kg from the pic.
It's pathetic for the government to even give them their monthly allowance and then claim not enough. What the hell!?
These fat people is just too ignorance of their health and body. They should thrown into labor camp and work their fat ass off that will pretty much slim them down.
The recession is bad enough for everybody and the government still need to support these fat pig? Come on!
Agreed. Do like Miroku74 suggests and make soylent green for/out of them. XDD
lay off the fucking KFC, fat fucks!
The government should stop giving them money and start taking more from these morons, that way they'll be forced to eat less and make them pay three times more for public transport for taking that much space
*Read Topic*...
...
/ignore
from that picture look like they want to said...
gimme all yur munney or we eat yur latterrrr... waarrrrh!!!
Seems like that too much biased comments over here.
I shall give you 4 one-way air tickets to North Korea!
Trip APPROVED
Am i the only one who sees that they are not that fat to be unable to work? I see every day even more fat than them and they do work. Especially the man is no really an exception to many others at his age.
Basically since they sit all day at home and don't do anything even if they didn't eat that much they will still get fat.
I have to admit though they really are clever. I wonder? If i made my self fat can i sit home all day with out having to go to work? On the other hand what is better being fat and get free money or being slim and work? If any you are fat and you also work you must feel like idiots now.
When you see a lot of people opt for lives of tubasses instead of falling into it through poor adaptation to calorie-rich environments, you might be more inclined to suspect they are "clever."
Repeatedly overeating naturally reduces the ability to feel full, creating an increasingly difficult problem for impulse control, which in turn leads to additional consumption and so on ad nauseum. Since being a lardass renders you unhealthy, limits mobility, and makes you less attractive, and since they live in a country where most of the population works in jobs that are not that physically demanding to begin with, I think it is safe to say they are not 'cleverly' exploiting the system, but rather slowly destroying themselves.
Get to America you fat shites! =D
No thanks. You can keep them (or better yet, dispose of them as a cheap alternative fertilizer for those "expensive" veggies). Our new president would define this kind of person as a "solid voting base" and frankly, we've already got too many of them anyway.
I'm a fatass (although nowhere near this family's level) and I work 40 hours a week (and sometimes more) to earn my money, too much of which gets taken away in taxes to fund this kind of self-serving crap in the name of "fairness" and "spreading the wealth" (although I understand it's nowhere near what the average Brit or European has to deal with). If these lardasses can stand on two feet and waddle their way through an interview, as they appear to be able to, they can get a job.
I make it a point to vote against the politicians that favor this type of rewarded laziness whenever possible, but I fear I'm increasingly in the minority...
Wake up America. This is your bright socialist future...
wow people these days, taking tax payers dollers like that while the world is coming into recession. they really know how to work the system.
they are just plain fat and lazy -,- blaming their genes for being fat...they take others people TAX $ for their food...
Even if it is a condition, I've seen more volouptuos people working in all possible areas.
I'd say they are too lazy and giving to much in into their urge to eat vastly.
And now the taxpayer should pay? Shameless.
You know, I'm very overweight myself, but I still seem to manage holding down a steady job (Hell, I even walk or ride my bike to and from work now). I'd rather be shot in the head than become like these people.
Worship.
Pride of the fat people who actually work hard.
Respect.
Respect³
Respect
Respect
f*ck them, i am student i cant exercise is stupid excuse very very stupid, i have myself 95 kg but when i start work (very hard physical work) i get myself to 80 kg in three months best diet ever made now i have still 80 kg and i eat whatever i want, i dont blame fat people but when they start this bullshit it angry me
and they complain that food is expensive damn i hope they die soon on some painfull disease, world dont need people like them
i am a student, and i never exercise and i am something like 50 kg =/
eww, I don't want to fcuk them. too fat to my liking
what's office requirements to work anyway? fit & healthy body?
as long as you can sit in front of your computer doing and your hands can move around with your finger clicking mouse & keyboard, you still can work
if you dont know computer, sit behind the cashier, you still can work
they're just lazy ash who too lazy to live. that kind of people better off dead
No link to the guy who sued because his dick was to small?
My apologies: http://www.sankakucomplex.com/2008/08/30/man-claims-disability-over-small-penis/
I don't care about the article, who did that to my lovely Hatsune! D=
fat miku.. doesns't like that unappealing actually
I would "suicide" them! :P
Do the world a favour....
So... let me get this straight.
Both of parents have a genetic disorder and are too fat to work, yet they feel like they should not only benefit from MY hard work but also decided to have children, which ofc would have the same disorder and receive the same special treatments.
They eat food like pigs and complain that they can't afford healthier food.
They f***ing have the nerve to ask for more, considering billions of people work their asses off just to get food on the table in the less developed parts of the world.
They say it's _NOT_ their fault and they _DESERVE_ more!?
tick... tick... tick... WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAT THE F**********K! *makes a lunatic face* Must.... KILL.....
brb, founding a terrorist organization.
That dad isn't so fat ._.
And THIS, people....is why the USA is the GREATEST COUNTRY IN HISTORY.
We're so rich that WE HAVE TOO MUCH FUCKING FOOD.
Despite the economic crisis, our latest stimulus package is larger than China and Japan's GNP COMBINED! And there's more coming.
Sure we don't make any cool anime or manga, and the best rpg's come from Japan...but WE CAN BUY A HELL OF A LOT MORE OF THAT STUFF THAN THE JAPANESE PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT!!!
There are people on this planet that would murder their entire village for the opportunity to BECOME FAT ASSES AND ASK THEIR GOVERNMENT TO FUND EVEN MORE OF THAT SHIT.
We can all give that pipe dream a shot over here.
Or we can become skinny anorexics if we want.
The wealth of options. The freedom to try.
God bless the United States of America.
Seriously...
You deserve to read THIS!
You don t have freedom in your country... You have a sad insinuation of democracy that leads you to believe that you are free... but your are not... You are a 2 party goverment and that s what you call freedom of options ?
I don t give a F***CK about your new "lets buy our way out of the crises" package. You mfs made the whole f**cking world get into a so called "cold war" to spread capitalism all over the world saying that "STATE INTERFERENCE IS BAD" and now to whom you turn to ? Fox news must be calling a lotta people communists cause of that. Why don t you let your "free market" take care of things ?
Most important of all... you only have the kinda money you have for this shit because YOU STEAL FROM LESS DEVELOPED COUNTRYS so that your FAT ASSES don t have to work as hard as we do ! Ask any living mexican on the poor district of your town if you have any "hard earned money" ! BLOODSUCKERS should be a synonim for "NORTH americans" because AMERICA is a god dam CONTINENT you IGNORANT BASTARD !
9 year old slave china/indian/african/ALOTOFPARTSOFTHEWORLD say HI to you and BEG "PLEASE, QUIT BUYING THE SHIT I MAKE FOR 50 CENTS A MONTH, SO I CAN GO TO SCHOOL AND HAVE A NORMAL LIFE LIKE YOU"
Blame the Russians for teh cold war. They started it.
As far as:
1. STATE interference is bad: Half of Americans actually disagree with that sentiment. (Red state vs. blue state).
2. Not really being free: Compared to who, exactly? Who has MORE meaningful freedom than America? I mean some European countries can do more kinds of drugs or flash more skin on TV but that kind of thing is always in FLUX and it's decided by the present population. It could all be voted legal tomorrow. THAT'S DEMOCRACY.
Many countries may have THE SAME LEVEL of freedoms as the U.S and I say GOOD FOR THEM!!
*But basically, there's a DIFFERENCE between freedom and GETTING EVERYTHING YOU WANT. NOBODY IN THIS LIFE EVER GETS THAT.
Because no one is ever really alone.*
3. Fox News: Cant's stand 'em. A lot of Americans can't.
4. Stealing from Less Developed Countries: We steal, they steal, we give away shit for free, blahblah. No one's innocent. But no one's a total asshole. Most 3rd world countries are still poor because of CENTURIES OLD TRIBALISM and/or the corruption of their OWN LEADERS.
*Still---I DEFY YOU to statistically document A MORE CHARITABLE NATION THAN AMERICA.*
5. Mexicans are leaving Mexico IN DROVES BECAUSE OF THE UTTER FAILURE OF MEXICO'S GOVERNMENT AND RULING CLASS TO PROVIDE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR THEIR PEOPLE.
It sounds like you have more of a beef with Conservative, Fox TV watching Republicans than Americans at large.
And to comment on the sweatshop labor:
Look, most people look at Western prosperity and they either think that it came because "Westerners are just inherently better" or we STOLD it all.
The truth is that ALL of our prosperity, our infrastructure and democracy of the last century was only made possible through CENTURIES of back-breaking de-facto SLAVERY of our ancestors laboring mindlessly for their various monarchies.
Monarchies and exploited labor were the ONLY way to build up the agricultural and then industrial infrastructure that made modern economies possible. It also served another purpose---which was to brutally force popoulations onto the same page NATIONALLY AND CULTURALLY. Because you can't have a stable nation-state without ironing-out all the tribalism.
It's a sad, disgusting and ugly fact that no one really likes to talk about. But it's the honest to God truth. Our Western prosperity would not be possible without the Feudalistic ugliness that preceded it. DITTO FOR JAPAN. (God were they ever brutal..)
There is not a single prosperous, developed nation that did not achieve that without brutal sacrifice. I dunno, maybe humans are just too inherently stupid to do it any other way.
But that necessary sacrifice for FUTURE PROSPERITY now shows up half a world away in sweatshops on foreign shores.
The only difference is that CNN is there to cover it. And no one is old enough to remember when the Westerners were poor and exploited....
If I were a woman I'd offer to have your baby. But since I'm not, I'll have to settle for worshiping your E-penis, which has grown several inches bigger in my estimation for the VALID common sense points which you brought up.
Humanity may be inherently flawed as a whole, but it's the only game in town at the moment.
LOL the fatties are actually Limeys.
Still, I stand by my statement.
Damn those Limeys are fat.....
US/UK = basically the same thing.
If you're blind, how the hell did you just type that out?
with a keyboard of course!
US/UK the same? o_0
*I* get SSI (I'm a working disabled person.... legally blind), and they get way the hell more than I do in a year, I can tell you that! ><
No sympathy for them from me. Let them STARVE the weight off.
Take that back!
I cheered when I saw it wasn't Americans.
I don't think you realised that USA is the biggest debtor in the world.
Oh hell of course I know that,lol. But teh world can't do anything 'cause they depend on our food shipments (which, once again our fat asses have soooooo much of)and our outsourcing & probably a couple dozen other things just so they can stand on one good leg & go to work in the morning.
All developed nations have each other by the balls. That's why there's peace among us.
Just wait for the oil crash. When all this food we have can't get to the supermarkets, things might become interesting.
