limit child benefit to three children?

Easy solution, anyone with 2 or more children has the choice be steralised or no benefits

People who cannot spell sterilised correctly should be sterilised.

They shouldn't have kids they can't pay for and if it was a multiple birth they should have reduced the number....

All very well saying "shouldn't" but the point is, once it's happened why should the child be punished for being born?
And... you're saying if someone has twins, one should be murdered at birth?

Please do us a favour and leave the UK. Your kind of bigotry would be better in some Islamic state, or serving some African dictator.

It isn't even £20 a week it is £13 something. £20 is only for the first child, £13 for subsequent children.

I do like the idea of putting benefits onto a card, it would be fairly straight forward to limit what people could buy, no cigarettes, no alcohol etc.

I think benefits claimants SHOULD get a free bus-pass though.

No one has children for £13 a week.

I'll take no benefits please. I love getting the missus up the duff.

Why don't they reduce it to zero children?!

Because then you would never have been born? How do you think your mum afforded all those fags & booze. She only charged 20p a blow job, it doesn't pay the bills.

Oops. Hard to tell with some of the opinions being voiced

She was on quite a good day rate and didn't need to buy food either, actually.

How do you separate out that child benefit money from other money? Lots of people who get child benefit work. In regards to other benefits the state pension and winter fuel payments are benefits, why should old people be stigmatised? Why should disabled people and their carers be stigmatised?

Also market stalls don't take cards and it's cheaper for most people to buy their fruit and veg from market stalls than supermarkets.

Finally they did a voucher scheme with asylum seekers at the end of 20th century. All it did was cause problems as it took longer for the shops to process the vouchers.
