Fielding wrote I absolutely hate the benefit system for the most part. If you cannot afford to bring a child into the world; do not. If, for unforseen circumstances, you are made redundant/death/terminal illness then I agree that there should be funding in place to help sustain at least a lifestyle where you can get from A to B, have 3 meals a day etc.

What really drives me nuts is people who choose not to work but claim money. I pay tax and it ruins me knowing that someone somewhere is benefiting from my hard work to spend it on cigarettes and alcohol, or weed or something silly like that.

They're changing the system soon anyway, including 18-21 year olds. The current Tory plan (they're in power) will eventually benefit the country, people just do not see that.

I hope you realise that literally everyone who has a child in the UK gets some sort of benefits. The tories don't have a shitting clue what they're doing, and are simply trying to cut benefits for those who struggle to find work in a terrible economy.

Yes I know about that.

Your second point is blatant anti-tory nonsense, I don't support them and I can see right through that haha. No impartial judgement from yourself I take it?

So, my mum was married for four years in a stable marriage. she had me and my sister and then my dads nephew died. my dad was very close with his nephew.
My dad had two jobs as a prison officer and a bouncer at a club. My dad went completely off the rails leaving my mum looking after me, my sister and my dog whilst working full time.
As my mum didnt have any of the above that i have highlighted is it her fault that my cousin got stabbed 18 times for seeing a woman that he had no clue was married. he was seeing a woman and then found out that she was married. before it was too late he got killed.
any way is it her fault that she couldn't provide for her family as the main source of income just abandoned us?
Should my mother work all of her life helping build up our government to not be allowed to fall back on it in a time of need?
Why should prisoners go to school if they are just going to throw it back in the governments face later in life.
Im sure that when you get older and try to raise a family of your own you will she how hard it is to do so and work full time.
Thank fully my family is doing just fine now with money terms bringing in 100k + a year paying into the government if we should ever need any help later on in life.

I didn't mean to offend you if that was the case, and that story is a tragic one, I am sorry to hear. I did mention unforseen circumstances, this was not one that came to mind, but no one plans marriages to end. Again, I am sorry to hear. I am glad to hear you are stable again, and that you have stayed strong.

No need to apologize as i know that you didn't mean to offend, but you cant forget about things like backgrounds to family's.
