Kids or no Kids

[arbogrunt]

if we keep paying more benefits to people for having more kids then yes, they will spawn. Us mugs who work for a living, are generally not in a position to have lots of kids as we can't afford it!. If we some sort of immigration policy in past decades, the situation would not be as bad as it is now (and as unsustainably bad is it will be in the near future:thumbdown:). By the way, I've got 4 kids, I work like a Trojan....and yes, I am constantly skint!!

If you work hard you should be allowed a little leeway.

 

If you have never worked you should be sterilised, just so the lazy gene can't be passed on

I had a browse through some 80 year old maps I have of the town I live in the other day. I was shocked at how many houses have been built in such a short space of time....and I mean truly shocked.

 

Town centre is about a mile. Eighty years ago there was about 20 houses between me and 200 yards out of the town centre, now there are thousands.

 

Local governments have housing targets that are rediculous and are eating up the green belt and agricultural land like there's no tomorrow. With the population set to increase from 62m to 70m in less than a decade then it's just getting beyond a joke

 

Your kids may be well brought up and never have claimed benefits ( well done you for that ) but they are one of a number that will need a house that is going to be built on land that should be retained for agriculture.

 

I for one dont think we should be reliant on imported food, we are at the moment. I honestly believe that we are not far off giving up the means of being self sufficient by destroying agricultural land.

 

If we can be proved to be totally self sufficeint and build houses without using green belt land then breed away, no worries. But there has to come a point when we need to sit back and look at how many people we can fit into a given area and be self supportive

 

It may be hard for some people to swallow, but it is fact
