Yes he could do a sit down job at least.

Gosh people in your position moan about nothing. His injuries didn't happen seperately they happened in one go. Losing a leg takes a long time to heal let alone both legs, injuries to his arm, eye and other injuries we don't know about.

Have the decency to not comment on something you know nothing about. Him having eight kids and not working isn't unusual today. And they are to different partners. Hes allowed to live his life as he please as long as he isn't hurting anyone.

He does a lot of charity work - is that not enough for you! Fgs - the man's life was ruined by that bomb, he was only 19 - can you not imagine what he has been through - what is the matter with some people! I think it is amazing that he has been able to go on and live such a normal life despite his horrific injuries.

If we didn't have men like him prepared to do such dangerous jobs - the world would be in a very sorry state and lot of the lazy people on here criticising - would be conscripted and forced to put their own lives on the line!

i don't mind supporting heros

He doesn't even try to hide the fact that he's a parasite. I agree, the true heroes are the hardworking taxpayers who fund Steve's lifestyle and the upbringing of his 8 kids.

I'm getting really sick of people like you - he gets an army pension for being so severly injured whilst doing his job and does a lot of charity work - he is a shining example and a much better person than many who do bugger all despite being able bodied ie John Bloody James!

How exactly are the taxpayers paying for him - as he gets an army pension!

The man also raises money for the injured soldiers charity - what is wrong with you!

fuzzylovin · 14-08-2010, 06:05 PM

We don't know the circumstances of that - maybe she won't let him see them - maybe she is just a bitter ex!

Shock horror.

30stone · 14-08-2010, 06:34 PM

Agree with Wombai 100%

People dont know the circumstances or truth's to his family life..
And people dont know the reasons behind him not working etc etc.

Charity/voluntary work should be done in your own time. I agree (and so does the government actually) that disabilty should not get in the way of paid employment.

If he can be part of Big Brother and produce a litter of eight children, then he can go to work.

I do agree that he should be compensated for his severe injuries.

He has a military pension. I'm really tired of saying this... can't all you people whining about him "not working and having eight kids" absorb the fact that he has a military pension? There are LOADS of threads about it already. Harping on with this same old tired, pathetic nonsense and is getting old. He lost both his legs and an eye in an explosion. Imagine that. Even if you don't think he's a good housemate... imagine the physical and mental trauma of the recovery. And the thing about being disabled is that accidents and tragedies happen all the time, leaving out the terrorist element for a moment, that could be any of us tomorrow. He deserves his pension. Let it go. If you're unhappy about it, contact the MOD and they'll tell you to let it go too...

Ignorance!! it seems that many can not imagine being in his situation, and I agree very much with what wombai says too. It just seems a waste of time explaining though. I'd be heartbroken if I was a member of his family reading some of the nasty comment about him.

Well there have been programmes on TV recently about soldiers with severe injuries. What they went through was horrific. It took most of them a year to stand up.

Steve has been treated as a BB housemate and that is what he wanted. Plus he would like a decent pair of legs. Not much to ask for.

Instead of spreading spiteful gossip - why don't you do your homework and find out what a guy receiving such severe injuries at such a young age in the service of his country - was likely to have received from his employer! Facts - not nasty, wild assumptions!

The guy has been through hell - and all you want to do is belittle him and attempt to turn others against him - pathetic! And for a silly tv show - god some people simply lack the very basic common decencies we would all hope most people have!

No. Generous state benefits funded by hard working people (disabled and otherwise) can, though.

What the hell do you know about his finances and how much army pension he gets!

No doubt your job, if you have one, will never result in you being blown up and losing both your legs and one of your eyes! His sacrifice is worth more than I expect he gets - after all losing your limbs is a far greater sacrifice than a few quid out of your salary every week!

you can pay for them

You should find out the facts before making such nasty allegations! Simples!

Without volunteers - young guys (you, if you are male) would be forced to do national service and could well find out first-hand what life has been like for Steve! Think on - before condeming him all the time!

There are MANY less deserving cases who milk money from the government. It is nothing to do with any of you how he makes his money. Why not the same outrage for everyone else on there who doesn't have a job? Maybe Steve wife works... and even if she doesn't it really is none of your business.

If you hate Steve as a housemate, fine. But all this criticism of him because of his background, his disability, his army service is completely out of order, and it's DEEPLY insulting to everyone on here who has served, or has someone serving in the army. I'm absolutely amazed these hysterical, ill-informed threads are allowed to stand and it says something that most of the people talking out of their backsides on here are on my ignore list. With a few more going on this morning.

I hope the more shallow people on this forum never, ever have to cope with any kind of disability; but if that tragedy was to happen, perhaps it would be poetic justic to have to put up with people sitting on a forum, probably not eventhemselves but being supported by their parents, pour scorn on them.

are you a tax payer? because if you are then you are paying for someone elses kids

Then why not post a thread about that in the appropriate forum?

At the moment it still looks like you are having a pop at Steve over something you have very little knowledge about.

Yes I am a tax payer, and have been for over 30 years. Do you pay tax?
