Council do have a duty of care, that's right. And I am not a Tory, but this sort of thing does perplex me. I work, so each commitment I enter into has to be weighed up, and that includes having another child (I have three, so no more, but hypothetically speaking). I have to do that, so why should someone who is living on benefits, that is my tax, not have to make the same decisions? We pay benefits based on someone's needs, but I think there should be a maximum - why is it right that there needs can keep on being met as they expand (to 11 fucking kids for fuck's sake!), and continue to be met indefinitely, whereas mine can only be met up to a point - i.e the limits of my paypacket?
I would love to hear someone explain why?
