I personally think you should say to every individual "Over the course of your life you can have 6 months of paid leave, paid by the tax payer. When you take it, and why, is up to you". That would make more sense, as well as not being discriminatory.


Who said means testing? I just said they should get a set amount - that's it. No large payouts to those who are already one the best salaries and are more likely to be able to afford it.

And actually I'd scrap baby bonuses etc. entirely - a hangover from a bygone age. Rather after two you start getting taxed more to encourage you to tie a knot in it. :whistle:

I like the idea of 6 months and it does away with discrimination.

You didn't mention means testing. I was just having a moan about the concept.

Baby bonus is no longer..

The hard working low paid workers deserve some help but the lay about scroungers can all jump in a sinking ship and do us all a favour ;)

I remember watching a BBC domumentry years ago about young girls in some pikey town in the north intentionally getting pregnant as they could make more money from government handouts than they could working.

Its called means testing. A horrible, lazy breeding, discriminative idea.

Should be this way but due to humanitarian crap we can't put a cork in bogan penises. Shame cos it always seems that the dumb and useless can breed like rabbits.

You missed your vocation as a journalist for the Daily Express/Mail:

Contradictory news on other front pages today - 1 million Brits forced to use Food Banks as benefits are tightened:

indeed, "humanitiarianism" is reversing the work of natural selection, where only the best genes survive.
