They have a combined weight of 83 stone (1162 lbs)and claim £22,000 in taxpayer-funded benefits on the basis they are ‘too fat to work’.
Yet, incredibly, X Factor flop Emma Chawner's family from Blackburn are demanding more money - because they still can’t afford their calorie-laden lifestyle.
Asked why they don’t simply go on a diet, the jobless Chawner family who are so obese their neighbours call them ‘the telly tubbies’ insist: ‘We don’t have the time.’
Emma, 19, famously appeared on the TV talent show in 2007 wearing a wedding-style dress made by her dad. She was kicked off after the first audition, but not before the family were evicted from their previous house after neighbours complained about her singing at 3am.

The one on the right.
If she dropped, oh, about 10 stone, she might be okay.
No! The FAR right.

We can start a whole new group of victims and provide them with both money for food and a living. Maybe they will find it easier to keep eating than to have more babies.

The National Socialists used to call people like this "useless eaters".
There seems to be the view that socialism means you are given a lot of stuff, even if you don't contribute.
Nope.
Socialism is more likely to lead to a violent death for those who don't contribute enough.
These people are takers, not givers. They better watch out.
