What should have happened a long time ago, is a dormitory like system for those who really needed somewhere to stay. With extra lessons on child care, and or employment skills, with onsite crèche for those who then get work. All women in the dormitory system get free compulsory contraception implants to prevent any other happy accidents.
If done well this could have been great, a responsible system where people protected but never a system that someone would purposely want to enter for a cushy life.Comment

Oh Lordy. Who voted this clown in again?
The worrying thing is we have a Prime Minister who actually thinks in this simplistic, knee-jerk Daily Mail fashion.
Much better to pay people to do nothing than it is to force them to integrate with society and get a jobLet us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

The first and the last group are often one and the same.
In regards to the girls unless they fall into those groups they should be left at home.
I doubt you home is a top-floor one bedroom flat in a drug infested estate in Battersea where people regularly p*ss and sh*t in the lift.
Or a mouldy and damp draughty flat where the landlord refuses to do any maintenance because you are "benefit scrum" who will just wreck it.
You need to have more than one or two kids to get a nice place.

Society needs to stop creating losers and the way to do this is to create good quality jobs for people rather than offering them the choice between two kinds of soul destroying poverty.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment
