What are peoples views on the planned cap of £26k/year/family?

Personally I am all for if you can't afford kids, don't have them. I know this is seen as unpopular, but I am not currently able to support kids and give them the life I want so I am not going to have any. Once I can, I will.

People seem to think they are so entitled to benefits it annoys me. I work hard and get less than many do on benefits.

From the article; "We have three teenage boys living in one room that barely fits their bunks and a chair-bed in it and two teenage daughters in a smaller room that barely fits their bunks in it."

Yeah, I do feel some sympathy for the boys, but what were the parents thinking?

I think he means what were they thinking making themselves intentually over crowded.

This. Why have 5 kids if you are on benefits? Sure have one, hell have 2, but 5?

No, just normal UK people being Lazy:

Says Ray: "The market for my skills dried up 10 years ago - there's a total lack of work in my area of expertise."

After 10 years he should have thought about factory work........

Men are not real men in this day and age, my Dad had to walk over 10 miles to get to work then 10 miles back everyday when we had a rough patch when I was a kid, not many would do that now.

You can learn a new skill in 1 year, never mind 10!!

The whole system and work ethos of the UK needs reform
