MP states the obvious that they have been too scred to say before

I would say that 4 is too many though. Make it 2, as we can't sustain the population that we already have!

Whether it's a good idea or not, I wonder why she didn't suggest doing away with Child Benefit altogether. I'm sure it wasn't because that includes people who might vote for her.

Another MP getting their face in the paper.
I like the fact that she specifically mentions having more children whilst on benefits. Makes it seem a touch more thought out.

Scrap it altogether! Why should you be rewarded for breeding?? - Madness!
Because when you get old and retire the country will require new taxpayers to support you and your generation through the services it provides.
The problem being that the current system rewards those that don't support anything and are bleeding the country dry, and they are procreating faster than the working classes, thus perpetuating the issue

An ever smaller working populations supporting an ever bigger welfare state and larger number of pensioners. Totally unsustainable!
