What exactly is wrong with putting babies in draws? It is a safe environment
just not as pretty as a moses basket.
Ah, so I see the Ad hominen attack is in full flow. When you fail to address anything that has been raised, makes assumptions about my personal life and attack them instead. What the heck, doesn't make your point anymore valid, but at least it lets us see the weakness of your character.
Caves are also a safe environment. Just not as comfy as a house.All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0 -

Those who received CTF (and those who didn't) will have to pay it back in their taxes, as Brown borrowed the money for these type of new benefits. The money was never there. So now the children will have all the interest to pay back and the monies he borrowed, through paying higher taxes, less benefits, less services, working longer.
If the markets turn against us, the country will be in an even worse financial position than we are in now.
I don't care if the money was paid back or not. As tax-payers we benefited. As tax-payers we're also losing on the CTF. Taxes aren't fair. I'll get my state pension when I'm 66 (but I might be older), yet I'm paying taxes for women to receive it now when they're 60. Is that fair? The country lives from hand-to-mouth - taxes taken now pay for things now - all we can hope is that the succeeding generations can (or will) pay for our needs. I have absolutely no qualms saddling the next generation with debts because I'm paying for the debts handed on to me by the preceding generation. It's known as the national debt.0 -

My cave is very cosy, I would have you know, but probably not as comfy as your mansion.0 -

I think we all know Jesus was born in a stable(they didn't have draws then)
Anyway why do you have this obsession with babies in draws and them being uncomfortable, why is a draw uncomfortable for a baby? Did you have something posh for your kids then?0 -

Talking of logical fallacies, I see you're not beyond a little redirection yourself.Conjugating the verb 'to be":

It's not my obsession, I'm amazed that a few people have used 'drawers' as some kind of argument against pregnancy grants haha such as: "why do they need grants for baby things, what's wrong with putting baby in a drawer":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Why are you obsessed about me *personally*?

Who isn't? Yourself included...ironically enough.
Aren't you the one that obsessively puts up pictures of 'news'papers stories about large families, using them as your own logical fallacy against CTF's and Sure Start grants threads?All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.0
