Suffer little children

Child-related benefits may be 'capped' at two children

Personally in this over-crowded planet of ours I think families should be small. However why should children suffer for their parent's decision to keep breeding? What will the government do next? Remove 'excess' children from their families and sell them on eBay to plug the deficit?

This is so typical of government to blame a tiny minority of people claiming benefit for the country's financial woes while corporations and wealthy individuals find a myrid of ways to aviod paying tax and the government continues to do nothing about it. Starbucks 'paid just £8.6m UK tax in 14 years' And the sick joke is that many more people are entitled to benefits that they just don't claim Billions in benefits go unclaimed, DWP figures show

Moan of the week 28/12/08

At the end of the festive week you may have thought that even a moany old cow like me wouldn't find anything to moan about. And indeed, I have had a very happy Xmas. But today I heard something that really got my goat.
Apparently our leader, PM Gordon Brown, in his New Year message (I thought only Queenie made annual messages), is to call upon us citizens of Britain to 'display the same spirit' in this time of economic crisis as our predecessors did in World War II. Apart from the gall of the man, who is as much to blame for the crisis as anyone, this is absolutely insulting to anyone who fought in or lived through that or indeed any war. Economic recession cannot in any way be compared to the horror of war. To do so is beneath contempt.
