Earlier this year, jobless mother of 11 Heather Frost caused outrage when it was revealed that she would be moving into a taxpayer-funded ļæ½500,000 home with her brood.
But although the resulting furore cost her the house, Frost, who appears in new Channel 5 documentary On Benefits And Proud, is unrepentant.
In the film, the foul-mouthed 37-year-old from Gloucestershire is seen telling her friends that as far as angry taxpayers are concerned, her view is ļæ½f*** the lot of them.ļæ½
ļæ½Itļæ½s a f***ing s****y council house,ļæ½ she adds. ļæ½Everyone wants to believe what they read in the f***ing papers donļæ½t they.
ļæ½Every child needs a house, a roof over their head I should say, donļæ½t they? It wasnļæ½t our choice for the council to build a new house, it was theirs.
ļæ½No oneļæ½s put a gun to their f***ing head. I think they [other people] are jealous. F*** the lot of them! Everyoneļæ½s entitled to their opinion but everyoneļæ½s entitled to a place to live.ļæ½
Frost, who receives benefits totalling ļæ½900 per week ļæ½ the same as someone who earns ļæ½60,000 a year ļæ½ is now looking forward to a council-funded renovation of her current home, which will see the two three-bedroom houses she currently occupies knocked together to create a permanent six-bedroom house.
The cost of the renovation will run into thousands of pounds, and includes a new kitchen and bedrooms.
But despite the vast expense to taxpayers, who spend a staggering ļæ½100 million on benefits every day according to Government figures, Frost, who has never had a full time job, says the system is put there to help people like her.
ļæ½Yes, people donļæ½t agree with the benefits system and s*** like that but the benefits system is put there to help people that canļæ½t go out and work,ļæ½ she asserts.
ļæ½Yes, itļæ½s my choice and my decision to have a large family but thereļæ½s no law out there to say how many kids you can have or canļæ½t have. Thereļæ½s people out there with more kids than me, thatļæ½s my argument.ļæ½
She adds: ļæ½Fred West or someone who murdered someone wouldnļæ½t have got as much s*** in the press as what I got.
ļæ½You only get what youļæ½re entitled to. We have to budget. You know, a weekly shop costs quite a bit, then gas and electric for both houses ļæ½ itļæ½s all got to come out of it.
ļæ½By the end of the week, you can guarantee youļæ½re skint. We canļæ½t afford to take the kids to Spain or on posh holidays.ļæ½
As a result, in order to make ends meet, Frost says she is forced to enlist the help of local shoplifters who sell her purloined goods for half the price of what she would splash out legally in a shop.
ļæ½Everybody has to get stuff off shoplifters, donļæ½t they,ļæ½ she says. ļæ½Wouldnļæ½t have enough to live otherwise.
