Benefit Britain is very real, i have multiple people in my family who claim benefits and don't work and live better then the working public. (I live on a very poor council estate)
In the U.S., what I find funny is how people will absolutely rail on about how much they hate unions for demanding decent wages/benefits from their jobs in a bargaining fashion (rather than simplistic government mandated minimum wage hikes). Meanwhile, 75% of those people who bitch about that chit have absolutely no issue with the povertycels who get government cheese ranging from subsidized housing/rent, utilities, food stamps, food/"necessities" for their kids, school meals for their kids, free school for their kids, dirt cheap gov college loans/grants, etc.

Anyone on those types of benefits should be wasting zero money on stupid chit, but the majority I've seen aren't exactly frugal types. Many of them basically get to use their crappy part-time/minimum wage types jobs as an allowance for their car loans on cars under 5 years old, phone contracts with the latest iPhones models, big flat screen TVs, etc.

Children should be punished for their parents poor decision making.

I mean what could go wrong with that potato logic?

It's not like there's a pandemic which has screwed thousands of peoples jobs/wages while they're still locked into debt repayments or there's a whole bunch of studies showing lack of nutrition stunts children's growth (physically and mentally) meaning this is going to add further strain on the country in the future.

These are mostly immigrant religious people who see the woman's job as pumping out a minimum of five kids. They don't care if they live in cramped conditions. Having as many kids as possible is drummed into them.

RIP UK.

The lack of compassion towards children is actually scary, but I’m I’m just a socialist apparently lol

We gotta flush out these politicians. Absolute corrupt bastards.

Let the kids eat.
None of the above constitutes legal advice nor should be interpreted as such.

Children shouldn't have to suffer because of their parent's mistakes. That said, we need real solutions to these problems, clearly throwing more money and more free stuff at the problem isn't working.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

All the turds who are saying to let the kids suffer are not taking into account that that will only breed more crime, what would you do if you or your kids were hungry?

I’d kill and die for mine, hope the kids make it through this situation

So glad I don’t live there anymore, where I live now in Iceland have it great. Real alpha country who jailed the corrupt banksters who caused the 2008 recession, not giving them more bonuses like cuck USA and UK.

It really works fine in countries that have more robust social programs. Eg. if you compare the child poverty rate in the US versus Denmark, before taxes and transfers they are pretty similar. After T&T, the child poverty rate in Denmark is something like 1/3rd that of the US.

Ensuring children of poor families can eat and develop properly, especially in a rare economic situation brought about by a global pandemic, seems pretty reasonable wherever in the political spectrum you fall.

One can be liberal and sensible at the same time. I try not to be cynical but it gets more difficult with each passing year.

Encourage people to do the right thing rather than compensate them for doing the wrong thing.

The more attractive you make not working and raising kids you couldn’t otherwise afford, the more people will do it. Their slice of the pot will continue to get smaller.

There was a lot to be said for workhouses

They're gonna suffer in one way or another if they had **** parents who shouldn't have had them in the first place.

What I'd do is not have children I clearly can't afford.

Two things, first, in the US there is an entire subset of the population who just doesn't want to improve. Second, I personally only ever see 62 cents out of every dollar I make, and that's not factoring sales or property tax. When will it be enough?

A spiteful and petty Tory government acting in their own self interest rather than that of the nation?

You can get like over 60 to 70k being a stay at home mom and spending time with the kids then slaving away at some job...I always saw them hanging out at the mall during the day while the rest are slaving away

I honestly wish my parents got into govt housing instead of paying 1000 for rent a month while working minimum wage and going school at the same time when we immigrated here. paying 1000s out of the pocket at the dentist while some criminal locked up gets it for free. What an unfair system

Good. If you can't feed em don't breed em. And their stupid kids will do the same irresponsible mistake as their parents and get pregnant at 14, it's an endless breeding cycle of retards. Let the gene pool of worthless parasite idiots die off.

Also, I bet half of those "poor starving children" are an obese fatasses, just like everyone in your local welfare office pretending to be hungry.

A lot of them pulled their weight at the polling stations, voting in this government.

I say they got what they deserved.

But here’s the thing: we are already paying for these kids to eat. The families already get paid by the state for this. That’s on top of free school meals. If they’re the poorest as the proposal states, their families already get nearly all (if not all) their rent paid for them by us. On top of this, we already have food banks.

In reality, the most tightly squeezed are the level above these. They don’t quality for the multitude of benefits the “poorest” receive because they work but they have to help pay for them.
