The thing is, you can't stop people having children.
I've heard although I'm not sure its genuine that in China you can only have so many children and so many are either dumped/killed or back street aborted.
On the other hand, I've heard one person say they may as well knock out a few more kids and the state can pay for them (he has at least 11 kids with various skanks)
I know of other people who haven't worked since the early 90s, both on the sick (partly genuine illness and partly self inflicted) they used to go on holiday regularly and in one year I think they went 3 or 4 times and over the last few years I think their flights abroad probably total double figures. The house is paid for, the renovation of the house is paid for, the extension due to her back problems is paid for (£12K) and he drives a 1998 XJ6 which makes my 4.0 Jeep seem economical.
I've said it before but if you work, the system does everything it can to take it off you. If you don't work, the system does everything it can to keep you happy. The problem is in the past the difference between working and not working used to mean quite severe hardship. These days the "sweet spot" where to work actually cost YOU money has become wider and assuming your "in the system" its not really much of a hardship anymore.
Bring back national service.

I wish that it was that simple.
On the one hand you'll have half the population saying good ridance and its about time something was done.
On the other you'll have people throwing their arms up in disgust at the way the pond life are being treated and it will end up being against their human rights to take their meth money away from them.
Allow people too many opinions and the system collapses. Democracy doesn't work. Unfortunately the alternatives seem equally ****.

i still honestly believe anyone who is fit to work and on benefits should do work for the community service to earn their benefits jobs like graphiti removal helping the street cleaning team,packing bags at super markets etc this would then actually gain them working experience and help towards getting a paid job but the sad fact is most of the scabs on benefits would fake illnesses that the doctors just dont say bull**** too.

its become "OK" to be on benefits. there was a time when no self respecting father would sit on his ar*e. dads back in the day wouldnt even except help when they were in dire situations as they were the head of the family. these days you see too many mums at homefeeding their kids sh*t while the dads are down the pub wasting their dole on beer. it sickening to see.
wheres the dignity of britain gone

you had a mother spending a third of their (the families- kids dont fekkin smoke!) weekly benefits on ciggies! a father drinking cans and smoking weed- then thinking nothing of kipping on the couch! and a (dare i say it) half caste scouse emigratee trying to give the politician a complex whilst sporting fashionable, newly done nails!! sorry, but if you dont have enough money to eat properly or support your siblings then surely sacrificing LUXURIES comes with the territory. i dont begrudge anyone making their own choices- given the depressing circumstances- just live with them and stop blaming everyone fookin else!!!
