My point wasn't that it is a budget failure, it's just that people don't (and often can't) budget.Comment

As SueEllen says above, this is not a black and white/issue at all and is NOT always about unintelligent parents who decide to buyfags rather than some broccoli for their kids. I can’t work out whether some of these comments are tongue in cheek or not – I have read some crap on this board over the years but some of the stuff in this thread has really rankled.
Yep some of it is trolling but watch some poverty porn! Plenty of troubled individuals do make these decisions. I know a few.
however it is obvious just throwing money at it isn't the answer.
End of Year Stats - The Trussell Trust
Interesting that the number of food parcels went up by ~150,000 (2017 - 2018)~250,000 (2018-2019) and 300,000 during 2019-2020. The demand seems to be accelerating nicely before the pandemic.
I agree down south the problem is housing cost but then we increased our population without increasing our housing stock no government has bothered to build enough.
We need to
1. separate housing cost from benefits.
2. Reduce housing costs by building some homes and moving people out of expensive areas.
3. Train people how to live on a smaller take home from benefits.
4. Take the kids off the fuqwits.
there are plenty of working people with kids living in one bedroom flats on low wages.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Take the kids away? How do you decide who is a worthy parent? What if the mother gets pregnant again, are you going to force her to have a termination and be sterilised? Will you give unworthy males the snip so they can't go around spreading their inferior seed?
Do you think kids growing up in the care system have a better time of it than those who have at least one parent with them?Comment

You wanted to fix it, that is the last option. One would rather expect to work through the others.
How you do it is up to you but some kids need to escape their fuqwit parents.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Removing children is, and should be an absolute last resortComment
