I think birthing licences need to be looked at in this country.
Why the hell she is allowed to keep on knocking these kids out at our expense is rather perplexing.
I suppose it would be a violation of her human rights if she was told not to have anymore kids. By the sounds of it though, she ignores the ones she has now anyway.

The Daily Mail could do with focusing on people really struggling rather than printing articles like this designed to make people think everyone on benefits is a scrounging fradster.
Stupid paper for stupid people!
On the subject of having kids no one should get paid a bean for having a child. If you can't afford one keep it in your pants!

I do agree that people shouldn't expect to be paid for having a child.
But I think a lot of people fail to realise that the children of today are our future, like it or not. If £20 a week helps towards paying for a school trip, or allowing them to participate in extra curricular activities, is that a bad thing?
Believe it or not, we do need to invest in our children.

The vast majority do grow up and contribute.
A few thousand out of 14 million children under the age of 18, doesn't paint a true picture does it?
From what I saw on TV, most of rioters were black and from poor areas.
Am I saying that all black children from poor areas are bad and will grow up to be a drain on society? No I am not.

But what about when contraception fails?

like the article said though: max cap on benefits will be £26k per annum, that has to include housing and c.tax benefit too.
so £500 a week all in.
some people will be in for a huge shock.

Let's say you lose 25% to tax and National Insurance. That's bringing home the equivalent of £32.5k a year. That 's what's wrong with the benefit system.
Average wage is £28k and minimum wage is £11.5K based on 37.5 hours a week 52 weeks a year.
So how can someone on benefits earn more than all these other people!?

I've said it many times before, the benefits system should be there to help genuinely needy people. Low earners needing a bit asssitance, those who find themselves out of work and need short term help. But the system has given so freely to those who know how to 'work' it, it's just completely out of control now. It's gone so far that it's going to be a mammoth task to make any real changes to get away from this lifestyle choice that it is for some people.
As it stands, it would be against human rights to just stop benefits/put people on the streets, to make people work for the benefits they receive, to sterilise dirty skanks that see children as a pay cheque etc..... And the worst part is, is that these type of people (career scroungers, not people who need to genuinely claim) seem to be the least grateful and have the most disrespect for others, despite being 'kept' people. They claim to be hard done by, NO, hard done by is working your **** off, being shafted every which way, just to keep a roof over your head and have some snippet of quality of life, getting the extra kick in the face that some of that money earned through hard work pays for somebody like the above to have no responsibility or real worries.
I am getting so mad thinking about this, I'm just going to shut up.

the benefits system is a joke, which is why it will get capped to a max of £26K per household.
in my career I've met people on 4000 grand a month, all benefit: tax free.
now thats wrong.
