Parenting is not for the entitled jobless

CAN'T afford kids? Don't have kids. Here's a controversial idea — at least in today's upside-down Britain — if you're not working, you shouldn't be having children. Yes, I said it. And I'll say it again louder for those at the back: the taxpayer is not your baby daddy.

Britain is on its knees, buckling under the weight of a welfare system that too often rewards poor choices. Of course, people fall on hard times. Of course, people lose jobs, get sick, or need temporary support. That’s exactly what the benefits system was built for — to be a safety net, to help out. It’s not a lifestyle.

Increasingly, we’re seeing people treat it like a family planning scheme. No job, no income, no intention of working, but plenty of time to pop out another kid. And who picks up the tab? We do. The hard-working public. The people who actually think before they breed.
