    the tap needs to be turned off.

    why does a family on benefits have more rights than a hard working family???? why do the workshy have a right to a room per child etc when tax paying workers do not?? it is sickening and makes me ashamed of this country. filthy public sector cretins, coming up with their infantile dreams and not having ever created 1 single penny to pay for it. theiving scum. taking money from my pocket to pay for this nonsense. I despise them.

    And what, pray, are you doing to change it - apart from ranting here?

    in short I do beleive rather than keep giving professional breeders bigger houses and more money we should give them enough room/money to support 3 children, if they then can't support there 6 children they get 3 taken off them.

    And where would these three children get cared for at a cheaper rate?

    Globalisation in its current form is the cause of the current ailments.

    The idea that a Western world can continually assume that vast numbers of impoverished 3rd world workers would provide ever cheaper goods and even invest their savings into the West seems flawed to me.

    Didn't anyone twig that all these Chinese (et al) people would want something in return? ie a move to Western living standards.

    To me it's a zero sum game. Living standards increase in the East, at the cost of a loss of economic influence in the West.

    Public sector excess? Mere sideshow.

    Well it could kill 2 birds with one stone how many people want children and can't have them, and how many get IVF on the NHS. I see a solution.

    I do stand by the fact if I have more children than I can support it should be classed as child abuse, we shouldn't reward them for it.

    + If they knew they wouldn't get paid for them they just wouldn't have them so there wouldn't be as many was you would think.

    I like the cut of your jib Horsey! You are thinking money saving on a grand scale, with a fair spread of right wing ideology thrown in.

    A spinning martin for you my friend.

    :money:
  • Horsey has good ideas but doesn't go far enough. We need to get back to the system of Feudal lords where prole scum can live in its own filth and work for their (Tory) overlords who will feed them and their snivelling brats if they work hard enough.

    Only then will we restore the UK economy to its height.
