Father With 26 Children by 15 Women Has ‘Received £500,000 in Benefits’
Metro UK ^ | Saturday 21 Jun 2014

A jobless father who has had 26 children by 15 different women while receiving ‘more than £500,000 in benefits’ has criticised the government’s welfare cap.

Peter Rolfe was criticised earlier this year when he claimed in an interview that his local council’s ‘refusal’ to give him a bigger house violated his human rights.

The 64-year-old is appearing in new Channel 5 series Benefits Britain: Life On The Dole, in which he claims his home in Newport, Isle of Wight, is not big enough and like a ‘prison cell’.

It had been reported that Rolfe had 18 kids by 10 women, but he has now revealed he has 14 boys and 12 girls.

‘It really is difficult to keep track when you’ve had 26 kids with so many different women,’ said Rolfe, who claims £800 a week in handouts.

Peter Rolfe: Father with 26 children attacks welfare cuts on Benefits Britain: Life On The Dole Channel 5 documentary Peter Rolfe has claimed the dole for 20 years (Picture: Channel 5) ‘I think the benefits system is at fault, not the parents. The government said: “we will pay for your child care so therefore you will stay at home”.’

He added: ‘You have women that like you and once they get you they try to change you. They become pregnant and things like that.

‘Some of them I believe got pregnant on purpose. It’s just so unfortunate so many women have fallen pregnant. Either I’m virile or they just fall pregnant quickly.’

In the new documentary, Rolfe also complains the government benefits cap means his children can’t have ‘the other stuff children get [like] PlayStations [and] Xboxes’.

Episode two of Channel 5’s Benefits Britain: Life On The Dole, airs on June 23 at 9pm.

Cut his B*lls off. That’s an appropriate “cap”.

Wonder what kind of drugs he must be selling, if that is considered appealing!

I wasn't going to do it, I was pushing you forward as a volunteer to nip that problem under the bud.

Er... in the bud.

The problem is predominantly the women. If they want to get pregnant in order to qualify for the dole, then (as we see) it only takes one guy to impregnate LOTS of women.

There is no solution which does not involve removing incentives for women to have kids on the dole. I vote for eliminating the dole entirely.

Axe murderers don't look like axe murderers. They look like normal folk.

1. “Breeding age” is up to age 56, according to the best data one can find in 10 minutes of Googling.

Women at 56 don't BREED. Their husband still wants sex and then the "improbable" happens. So NOW these women have to deal with being a MOMMY again and a GRANDMA.
You know, of course, exactly what I am saying.

============================================

2. The answer to “What woman ...?” is “A woman who wants another child-benefit increment.” This guy looks like he’s less likely to beat or kill her or the children than some tattooed skinhead thug.

- ANY man can become a wife/child beater. Looks can be deceiving. Women can become both husband and child beaters.
There are lesbian "marriages" where one woman beats on her female partner. Homosexual men can become batterers too.
LOOKS say nothing about character.

========================

- As for THUGS, I don't know any thugs but it's my guess that not ALL of them are skinheads or tattooed. I did meet a real thug some 30 years ago. My husband met him too.
My husband was SURE that this guy was Mafia and hiding out where we happened to be (the middle east).
The thug shook hands with my husband and my husband said that it was the strongest grip he had ever felt in his entire life and my husband was incredibly strong, with big hairy forearms (great for golf) and huge hands.
Said Mafia guy was HUGE, dark hair, dark eyes, expensive suit and DEAD EYES. Whenever I think of thugs I think of that guy.

This guys "looks like...."??
LOL. There you go, judging by looks again.

More to the point of his character:
1. Apparently he had sex with anything that moved.
2. He also never bothered to marry any of them.
3. THAT says that he didn't give a darn about children.
4. THAT also says something NOT GOOD about the character of the females who had sex outside of the marriage bed.

========================

All in all, it's not a story to inspire anything but contempt for all concerned.

PITY the poor children of those sick, selfish liaisons. THEY need our prayers.

FOR SURE. What young woman of breeding age would want to have sex with that fat, fuzzy, old coot? UGH.

An employed young man with a job would want no part of being harassed for child support to pay for any kids had with a dole-woman. So they get whoever they can get. Which is why I say there is no solution which does not involve penalizing the women for doing this.

I misunderstood what you meant by “breeding age.” I thought it had to do with natural human reproduction.

And although it’s true that this man obviously has poor character - as do his sex partners - he’s statistically less likely to be violent than a younger man.

Yeah, but the article doesn’t say he’s an axe murderer.

Doesn't say he's not. But my point is that looks can be deceiving.

Hell, I look like a nice enough guy, until you get to know me.

After that I will add that I've never been proven to be an axe murderer, and I've only fathered 2 children. Which led to 5 grandchildren, which may lead to chaos.

That's true. I look like ... well, a rather ditzy middle-aged suburban housewife with a lot of kids and a few weird hobbies.

Wait, my daughter says I look like a sociopath. So something is deceiving ...

Chaos is the natural end of all reality.

Having a baby at 56 may be "natural" for some women.

And although it’s true that this man obviously has poor character - as do his sex partners - he’s statistically less likely to be violent than a younger man.
Statistically...now there is a wunnerful buzz word.
Statistics...I took statistics in college. They aren't very meaningful because MOST statisticians guesstimate on probabilities.
Our prof did the standard probability test: flipping the coin for heads and tails probability. Probability doesn't always work with humans.

*The old man may also start succumbing to Alzheimer's Disease or some other kind of dementia before long. When that happens there is NO TELLING what he might do.

*He also might be taking some meds... OR forgetting to take his meds. Who knows what behavior problems might occur with that?

*Also, with all his fornicating he may be passing along a variety of STDs, those gotten from the multitude of fornicating partners he had. How sweet.

============================

My prayers are for all those poor children who had an asshole for a father sperm donor and a greedy, lazy mother uterus for a female parent.

WHAT chance to they have?
