Only if your tax code was about mega high, I would guess around £1800.

IDS proposing to limit child benefits to your first 2 children: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-20077758 Such a good idea. Having children is a lifestyle choice, a bit like having a Jaguar XKR on your drive or a 37ft motor cruiser on the Broads. If you can't afford them, you shouldn't have them. The idea that the state should fork out to help someone maintain their 3+ kids is ridiculous. Government also trying to get rid of this ridiculous nonsense where parents can claim child benefit for children living outside the UK: www.guardian.co.uk/society/2012/ ... outside-uk

Fecking pensioners . I hate them . I have a few that come in and help out at work . Mainly doing bodywork and prepping/restoration on classic/historic cars . They complain constantly about the state of this country , and the best way to get their backs up is a mere mention of Maggie . All they do all day is complain about immigration , the price of biscuits , and bang on about the time they served in Aden armed only with flumps .

' Feckin pensioners should be drowned at birth' is a phrase that is commonly used in my place of work .

So, what happens if someone who had a good job, paying enough to allow him and his wife to have four kids and live comfortably, suddenly finds himself with a debilitating condition that means he can no longer support his wife and four kids? Should he ask his missus to stuff that youngest two back up her fanny? More bull[is[/ihit from IDS, pandering to brain-dead s. Look back at China's "one-child policy' for all you need to know

I'll be ok as long as I don't stop running...

Unlike yourself - I don't claim to have the only opinion that matters. Every thread on here moves away from the original OP often caused by you trying to ram your righteous preachings down everyone's throat.

The fact remains how with an ageing population does the country afford the OAP - a debate you seem to have avoided on this thread!! Perhaps the government should just keep borrowing, after all you think the deficit is pretty low - compared to the years after the second world war!!

Perhaps if women had to wait until they were the same age as men before they could claim might help?

Really? I seem to remember the topic of collecting all the corporation tax that was due mentioned as a starting point.

You cannot base a benefits system on the worst case scenario - the man with 4 kids understands the risks to his family if he loses his job - if he hasn't considered it then it should not be the role of the state to consider it for him.

Unfortunately that is the nature of life. We all have financial commitments that we would, probably, struggle to meet if we developed a debilitating condition.

Life insurance policies cater for such eventualities.

Of course you can infact you should, that is the whole meaning of welfare.
