I know there are a few families that find themselves in rotten circumstances and this isn’t aimed at them . However I live in an area where having children to continue to receive benefits was the norm and only now the cap is in place has that stopped.

The Scottish government has now announced it will be scrapped. I am so angry I’m paying towards people breeding children they can’t afford. I didn’t vote SNp this time because of this, as did many of my friends. They lost heavily in my area but still seem to not care what the tax payer is saying.

@Drivingoverlemons I agree child poverty needs addressing but don’t believe this is the solution. I live in an area with high poverty. I see hungry children every day without jackets and it’s heartbreaking.
Doesn’t stop the parents getting pissed at the weekend or enjoying a daily can of monster 🙄 Paid out of benefits as none of them work

poverty stats show highest ever number of children living in poverty in the UK | Action For Children Child poverty stats

30% of children currently live in poverty compared to 20% of people of working age and 16% of pensioners. It's not their fault people have children.
