"GRASPING dad Mick Philpott yesterday demanded a bigger council house for him, his 14 kids, his wife - and his mistress. And when he was turned down, he had the nerve to blame the state of the nation. The jobless 49-year-old moaned: "I used to love my country but I'm just sick of it now. "I'm really ashamed of what's happening. Britain is going down the pan." Philpott lives in a three-bedroom semi in Derby with wife Mairead, 25, his lover Lisa Willis, 22, and eight of the children.

But he insists he needs more space as he has to sleep in a tent when his SIX other kids from THREE previous girlfriends come to visit. Philpott, whose children's ages range from five months to 19 years old, said: "It's very cramped already. "But when everyone is here there is nowhere to sit. I end up sleeping in a tent in the garden and that's not on." Philpott had four of his children with Mairead - Dwayne, seven, Jesse James, six, John, three, and two-year-old Jack. But he has also moved in Lisa and the three kids he has had with her - Jade Louise, four, Shareen, two, and 11-month-old Katrina. Lisa, who is expecting Philpott's 15th child, also acts as stand-in mum to a boy from one of his previous relationships, six-year-old Jordan.
