FFS £95,000-a-year benefits family

[BolshieBastard]

There really should be a cap on the total amount of benefits a household or 'family' can have. Its absurd this lardy arse can receive benefits of 90k a year for doing **** all except breeding.

Total benefits should be capped at 12k and even then for 12 - 18 months. After that, its take any job, anywhere. And if you dont take it or cant find work, tough titty.

I've crossed out what I felt was entirely unneccessary.

Here is how you do it - get full time social workers to look after kids while parents are FORCED TO WORK, increase hours proportionally to number of kids.

And what exactly does a family who already have 6 kids do with £12k between the 8 of them when they both become unemployed? Once they have the children you either have to pay for them to live, or take the kids away and still pay for them to live.
It's unclear to me, does £95k for a family of 12 allow any kind of luxury, or is that realistically what it would cost to rent a large enough house and feed/cloth everyone?
Again - once they have all the kids and are probably not realistically able to work with all the housework, what do you do? A newspaper headline "children starve due to benefit cap" is not going to very popular.
There are no easy answers that don't start to sound scary, like forced sterilization, or don't lead to the children being the ones that suffer. "Tough titty" is hardly an option when it leads to children dying of starvation... you'd need a BIG salary to feed 10 kids.

Go on - what do we do with this particular family that doesn't cost the same, or more?

So you're going to spend more on social workers looking after the kids, than the parents earn in whatever low-paid job they get forced into? I suppose it creates public sector jobs, if that were needed.

So you're going to spend more on social workers looking after the kids

It's not a question of spending more, it's making sure that those parents who get so many kids whilst having no work are guaranteed that they'll have to work and it won't have excuse of having to look after children: this can act as deterrent.

AtW, I have asked this several times and you have never answered the question.

You admit that once you came to this country you never worked for years. How did you pay your way? Serious question.

Mini. You're a twat! Leave the fella alone.

AtW is ashamed of those days, he'd never done it with a women before, let a alone a man.... The donkey back in Russia had never told anyone, it was their secret. But alone & hungry, sleeping on the streets, curled up with a potato and a copy of Socialist worker it was only a matter of time. Only a matter of time before he had to sell his body, once turned to twice, twice to ten times!!!! Oh the shame, THE SHAME!

SKA was born from the red light hue of the cold streets of Birmingham. AtW has suffered for his work. Have you???

Do you think getting paid to bring up 10 children is easier than a low-paid job? However OK as a deterrent I see your point - but it still doesn't help the people who already have the kids. Don't you think parents should bring up their own children?

In this case, other people should be bringing up their kids...
