Chris, I'm not sure I buy that - not that I think David Beckham is much of a role model - and personally I think you may be underestimating young musicians. However, supposing it's true and like some of the great Romantic poets he can't fully express his art without being stoned?

Loved Nigel Kennedys Vivaldi four seasons and that was the 80,s..
As for the Daily Mail?

Uggers - in the world of classical music especially, Nigel Kennedy is on a par with David Beckham and football.
Young musicans will look up to him as a role model.

Used to be Uggers, now it's 4 children by 11 fathers ;-)

I quite like it:) But then so far, I am still very open minded about the new(ish) government:)

I know a number of single people who leave their CB or a portion to mount up as far as they are able,for Christmas,tele licence.home replacements.

I dont see it a problem as the inbetween times for shoes,clothing etc comes out of the weekly benifit,so swings and roundabouts.

The uplift job,,so where did the childrens clothing.shoes.etc come from inbetween during savings?again swings and roundabouts really.

Florence was my grandmother's name :)

Cat, is it right that you have three children by nine fathers?

Poor Florence missing out eh?:)

Uggers beat me to it lol I was wondering why the 5 children to four fathers bit was relevant. It doesn't surprise me that it's in the Daily Fail either, they're always on a crusade to get us back to the 1950s.

lol very wise Uggers ;) you will however miss the politically relevant information that while DC was making his "rallying call"... "Samantha Cameron (was) wearing a Paul Smith dress, (and) watched her husband from the front row but baby Florence was not in the hall in case she started crying mid-speech. "

;))

just reading through it, her youngest is 3 , so when that child reaches 6 under the new rules she will have to look for work...unless she has another one.

Nooo Rose, I don't want to read more ;))

Ann, I would expect it's more to do with making a judgement about her morality lol

It IS in the Mail lol... and as ever it makes for cringe-making reading,

"However, although Miss Marshall receives more than many hard-working families she admits that she has also run up £10,000 of debt."

Personally I think she'll regret the boob job later on when she is old enough to get back ache ;)

I suppose the only relevance of the number of fathers Uggers is if they are all paying to support her children and that is how she affords her holidays etc. Hmm!!!!

So am I, Sheila:)

It seems wrong that someone can save their benefits for cosmetic surgery because she can't need the benefits she's getting but I don't see the relevance of how many fathers her children have. In the Daily Mail was it? lol

Nigel Kennedy's an adult and can do what he wants I would have thought. He's hardly going to be a role model for many is he.

Ann, you must stop eating in these High Class Restraunts then,try a Greasy Spoon.**M**.pmsl.:o))>

Ah but Stray I can't sit down to eat my lunch while reading on line. Well i could but it might prove a tad expensive Lol!!!

This story seems a good example of why benefits need to be cut. The rest of us can't afford to keep people on this amount of income. This woman has obviously been receiving far too much if she can afford such a lifestyle.

I worry about what sort of example this 'mother' is showing her children. Will they expect the state to keep them in the future?

Time for a huge shake-up of the whole benefits system.

Grumpy old woman,

or worst as the case normally is haha x
