Feckless father who has EIGHTEEN children by TEN women and hasn't worked in 20 years claims council is violating his human rights - by refusing to give him a six-bedroom house

Peter Rolfe, 64, (seated far left) says the town hall has a 'duty of care' to upgrade him and his large brood to a six-bedroom home on the Isle of Wight. The single father says his current home is too cramped for himself and the five children and two grandchildren who live there - son Peter, 19, daughters Rose Anne, 18, Marie Anne, 15, Carrie Anne, 14, Leeanne, 17, and her one-year-old twins Lexi and Courtney. None of his children that are working age have jobs. And their living situations become desperate when the older ones come to visit at weekends, forced to sleep in the living room. The father of Leeanne's twins also stays with them. Councillor Gordon Kendall, the authority's cabinet member for housing, said Mr Rolfe was 'operating the system to his own advantage'.
