They haven’t worked in 11 years, claiming their weight is due to a hereditary condition. Instead, the family spend their days in front of a television borrowed from a friend.

Mr Chawner said: ‘We love TV. It’s on from the moment we get up. Often I’m so tired from watching TV I have to have a nap.’

Simply too lazy to work.

£ 1875 / month. That's £ 15.4 / day for each of them. Equivalent of $ 21.5 / day for doing absolutely nothing. While 1.4 billion people struggle on less than $ 1 / day and 2.7 billion people live on less than $ 2 / day. That's half the world's population. And these people dare complain?

Leave it to the West to come up with such absurdities...
