Nope, but it does look like he's been on the Banks's mild again.

I didn't realise you weren't allowed to actually have more than 2 children I just thought the free money you got for them was being limited to the first 2?
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I suspect the difference between us is that I have various theoretical frameworks which I can overlay on discussions of social structures, whereas you have none.
A life unexamined, as it were.

About what may I ask, people who despise the monarchy?
Why would I be, they're not my relatives.
Tool, really is a great name for you isn't it.

Because a woman is going to go through a 9 month pregnancy, and 18 years of parenthood just in order to get and extra £15.30 a week 😆

Faux intellectual bullshite - are you @theclaud in disguise?
I'm with our resident Black Country collie on this one.
Whatever happened to the notion of only having something - including children - which you can afford?

Just because you don't understand something doesn't mean it is "faux intellectual bullshite".
It's almost as if the collective wisdom of human learning has passed you by.
Court reporter for a local paper, wasn't it?

Up to a point perhaps; or even accepting the idea for the purposes of this discussion but not otherwise.
So how does it pan out when one of you is stricken down and you can no longer afford number 3?
) it is invariably the mother who is left with the children.

There isn't any self-pity in Claud's comment, just a proper concern for the increasing numbers on and below the poverty-line. I'm sure you empathise.

My former occupation has nothing to do with anything, same as yours.
The advantage of saying:
Is that it is meaningless claptrap, it cannot be argued against because it doesn't say anything.
Having come across this type of cobblers so many times, I've formed the conclusion that those using it know fine well the 'advantages'.
That's a point, but there could be a means test to establish if the carer, who formerly could afford the child, can now not afford it.
Getting the parent/s off on the right foot - they can afford every child - is desirable.
If that puts them under pressure to stay together and/or work, that may be no bad thing.
Seemed to have an element of the green-eyed monster about it to me.
I'm sure most of us would like to have more than we have.
The difference is that it's never bothered me that someone else has loads of money, I just want more for myself.
Although that seems less important as I get older.

I referred to being stricken down by which I meant the main earner being seriously ill/injured. Income off a cliff....
In that case means tested benefits, which is where the limit has effect, will apply a means test.

I do but why not complain about footballers wages or actors earnings or any other rich person as well then?
Or perhaps people like her just hate anyone doing better than her, oh wait she does. 🤣🤣🤣

And yet the ungrateful beggars had a rebellion to get rid of the monarchy. Maybe we could let the yanks have them back?

WTF are you talking about then?
It works both ways, if you want more than 3 kids why would losing out in £15 stop you then?
Some d!ck has said as much.
