Charlie's mom was a single mother. She had four seemingly invalid parents.

I say seemingly, because the moment the possibility of some small enjoyment arose, Grandpa Joe stops faking his disability, gets up, and literally dances around the house.

He let the family starve and a little boy grow up without a father figure, just so he could lay in bed all day and smoke a pipe.

You just described probably half of the people in America who draw disability benefits.

Could you imagine the smell in that house with those 4 old people shitting and pissing on each other all day? It's gotta suck when you have a dry spot and somebody's stream of pee comes sliding down towards you.

The grandfathers are British WWI veterans and the family subsists on their WWI service pensions. Grandpa Joe isn't fully disabled, just old and shellshocked with a bum leg.

That wasn’t tobacco in Grandpa Joe’s pipe.

If they were in America, they’d been eating their asses off. SNAP benefits x5. Plus they’d have Section 8 housing. The mother would never do another load of laundry again.

What website did you see this and steal it from?

This wasn’t an original thought of yours. You happened to throw invalid out there just like the websites that discuss it.

Website calls out Grandpa Joe years ago

Yes, everyone knows that Grandpa Joe was a piece of shite. This is kind of a worn out accepted thing. It's kind of like saying Hitler was a bad person, except even worse.

Because the US is known for having better social programs than the UK. Lol.

This is absolutely true, but Grandpa Joe was not nearly as evil as Willy Wonka. Wonka killed those kids—granted, they arguably deserved it. Wonka “claims” various things regarding the disappearance of each child, but you damn well know they were ne’er seen nor heard from again. Willy Wonka was a serial killer. The boat ride scene is a look into his sinister, yet beautiful mind.

And yet that grandpa Joe was more productive than this one:

Charlie had a dad. He worked at a toothpaste company. (In the book…which is canon, imo.)

This does not change the fact that Joe was a goldbricking fraud.
