To think having children is not a right!

If you can't afford children thats just tough! IMO. We should abolish child benefit to be spent on real rights such as having something to eat and decent levels of sanitation. I would rather my hard earned tax went there than child benefit!!

I'd also like to interject with what about women who get pregnant by accident or not through choice and decide to keep it? Are they then not entitled in your mad zainey world where everything's perfect and only the rich can have children? Confused

Ooo puddling I hadn't thought about that? Mmmm what shall I have any suggestions?

Chilly egg do you mean single mothers and their children out of wedlock? They will have to lock the dirty sluts up.

For sweet we are having jelly and ice cream.

AnyWarholsOrange that's a brilliant name for a dessert! Made more hilarious by their stacking in a triangular tower! Ok that's me being a need but I love it!

Both chocolate fudge and proles sound excellent

Is anyone else disappointed with the lyrics of the Bee Gees when you see them actually written down or is it just me?

I like lots of little babies and I PAY MY TAXES. I want as much of my tax as possible to go into keeping lovely babies fed and warm even when they have right wing loonbags for parents.

HowCanIMissYouIfYouWontGoAway · 08/02/2015 16:44

tbh, unless you earn a massive wage, your hard earned tax isn't even paying your own way (education, medical, police, local authority, state pension when the time comes, etc etc ), much less paying for anyone else's child benefit.

People have the right to have children. Taking away what is it? £20 a week? won't stop people having children but it will make those children's lives that little bit worse.

Personally, I wouldn't want to do that.

Your "hard earned" tax goes straight back into your pocket in the form of the education of your children and healthcare, you numbskull.

Timer - Except I have private health care and my children go to the local independent.....
