A particularly sickening story from the UK shows the depraving effects of entitlements. 56 year old Michael Philpott lived with his 31 year old wife, Mairead, their 6 children, his 28 year mistress, Lisa Willis and her 5 children, of which 4 were sired by Michael himself. They lived in a house on Victory Road in Derby, rent free, provided by the local council. Philpott is known to have fathered 6 other children with 3 other women. He never worked and lived on various allowances paid by the government such as unemployment benefit and child support. He drew an astonishing 60,000 pounds a year in benefits when the average salary in the UK is just 26,500 pounds a year. Mairead and Lisa used to earn up to 14,000 pounds working in houses which went straight into his account. He smoked, drank, smoked grass, had 2 wide screen TVs and had converted one room to take a full size snooker table while the children slept in 3 rooms upstairs. He became so confident about his abilities to live on welfare that he appeared on Reality TV shows where he defended his lifestyle saying that he was a responsible person who loved his children. Last year his mistress Lisa Willis left him along with her 5 children. Crucially she took away 1000 pounds per month in benefits with her. He tried to make her come back and when she refused he started custody proceedings against her to get back the children. The children were his meal ticket and benefits financed his life of luxury without ever doing any work. To increase his chances of being awarded custody of the children he hatched an evil plot with his best friend, 46 year old Paul Mosley who used to join him in drinking and sex. He would set fire to his house making it look as if Lisa Willis did it and would rescue his children, becoming a hero himself. He even set up a ladder against the house to reach the windows of the rooms where the children slept upstairs. During the early hours of 11 May 2012 he and his wife poured petrol at the foot of the stairs, passed the can to Paul Mosley outside and set fire to the petrol. Unfortunately the fire quickly spread to the whole house incinerating the 6 sleeping children. The whole town was consumed with grief at this enormous tragedy and people raised money for the funerals of the children. Philpott told them that if any money was left over they should hand it over to him in Argos vouchers. He even wanted to auction the teddy bears left outside the charred house as tokens of grief. Today he was sentenced to life in prison, minimum 15 years, Maireed and Mosley are to serve 17 years each. This is a horrific example of the depravity that free entitlements generate in a man. This may explain the rapes and killings in India where poor people are given money, free food and medical care for nothing. They are robbed of any feeling of responsibility or citizenship. They grow up with a sense of rights but no duties. Thus when they want a woman they rape her. Worse is yet to come.
