May I respectfully suggest to Tory Jeremy Hunt that if the poor "stop having kids they cannot afford" that high earners should stop taking highly paid jobs if they cannot afford the tax?

All these tax avoidance schemes to help the poor darlings. Or do morals not apply if you are rich enough?

Why is offering statistical evidence being patronising Lol

Assuming I'm not aware of it was the patronising element, violethill, as you well know

You asked a question and I answered it.

It's impossible to know how anyone will turn out individually, but statistics can give us very clear evidence of likely outcomes - and the Govt needs to use evidence to make decisions.

No, I asked MmeBlueberry a question and you told me something I already know.

"It's impossible to know how anyone will turn out individually"

My point exactly.

It worried me that as a teacher, MmeBlueberry felt able to write off some children- even a single child- as future 'benefit scroungers'.
