Summary: would cut welfare bill by 2bn. Would remove some resentment towards those on benefits.

People should live with parents, get job and save up for house/marriage/children rather than having child, getting free house and being stuck in benefits trap.

And what about all the "looked after" young people who have no parental support available to them and he is conveniently forgetting the fact that there are no jobs anyway

The Tories really genuinely scare me sometimes. If you are not loaded they don't give a shit about you.

I was when i read this. I sometimes think that the system is geared towards those who don't want to work rather that those who can't. But, to arbitrarilly remove it from someone just because of age is surely going to end up with an increase in homelessness. Sorting out the youth unemployment figures would surely have a greater impact on benefit claims than just stopping HB for that age group.
