The sooner they bring in a cap as to how many kids the state will pay to keep the better. Might change the attitude of " I will have as many kids as I like..it is not illegal".
No problem with someone having 11 kids..as long as they get off their backsides and work to keep them. I do object to the attitude that the more the merrier as a meal ticket.
£900 a week on benefits...it is beyond my comprehension.

Society makes a bet that for every scrounger looking for a meal ticket, there are hundreds or thousands who need the help of the government to provide a social safety net, and do you know what? It generally works out well. At the moment the gap between the bottom and top is getting wider and wider. That's not because of the people at the bottom.
No one ever makes a programme like this about the many ways millionaires and billionaires swan around avoiding their tax burdens (which costs the state more than all the scroungers do) How about seeing guys on yachts bragging about how they pay their accountants an extra zero to make sure none of their money goes towards feeding the children of poor families?
