Of course he assumes that the worst behaved kids come from families on benefits. After all, well-off kids are all immaculately behaved, right?

Sigh.

Thinking of the 3 "worst" kids in my year at school (back in ye olde days when I was a schoolboy)... NONE of them were on benefits. One of the worst (who later became involved in smuggling firearms for the IRA!) came from a very normal middle class family. Another's parents owned a 4-star hotel. And the absolute worst of them, who started actual fist fights with teachers and I believe ended up addicted to heroin, had a dad who worked in the oil industry on upwards of £300,000 per annum.

But yeah. Stop child benefits. That'll solve everything.
