11 CHILDREN, NO JOBS..AND ?30K A YEAR
UNDER the current system Joanne Sheppard and Gary Bateman rake in a fortune in benefits to pay for their 11 kids.
The Daily Star exposed the jobless pair in August for pocketing ?30,000 a year in handouts to support their huge brood. Baby machine Joanne, who is currently pregnant with her 12th child, has also been given a five-bedroomed house in Bristol.
The state pays the ?1,200-a-month rent to keep the layabout family in style. Workshy Joanne, 36, pockets child benefit while Gary, 46, claims incapacity support for a bad back.
That is despite the fact that he takes part in the rough-and-tumble off-road biking sport of motocross.
The roly-poly mother has had her children by three different fathers and has not worked since she first got pregnant at the age of 17. Her kids with Bateman range from a son of 17 to a baby of eight months.
The grasping pair once even boasted of going on a ?1,500 Christmas spending spree using taxpayers? cash.
