    That Child benefit should be abolished, you want kids, you pay for them.

    Unfortunately there are far too many arsehole 'fathers' in this world for that to ever work
    Then they should be put up against a wall and shot.
  • Religious people can't park their cars very well
  • That their is a correlation between being boring and not having the social skills the realise that the person you are talking to is bored, and facial hair

    Like my wife. She always shouts out "oh god" when trying to park.

    you should only be allowed to vote if either in current tax paying employment or if you have racked up a certain amount of tax paying worker "voter credits" over the years.

    (that would only be for those able to work and there would be exceptions for certain people, carers etc)

    No representation without taxation. The Americans are already tip toeing around this. I can see it being a reality within 10 years.

    Probably the only way to deal with the 'Welfare State'. As soon as they are not allowed to vote the Politicians will grow the backbone to stop paying them to sit at home smoking dope and watching Jeremy Kyle.

    Do they get to opt out of VAT then? Everyone pays tax. I'm as right wing as the best of them but everyone pays tax. The money that's given to the feckless is just spent in the local economies generally so is just a reinjection into local economies

    Having said that you could almost guarantee an election win by saying you would increase pensions 20%, job seekers benefit 20%, and cut prison sentences 20%, and maybe if you need to guarantee the votes of idiots, increase inheritance tax 20%. Done.

    Couple of quick questions, if I may?

    How old are your children now?

    How much of the Child Benefit that you received did you give back?

    Bad idea IMO. Allows the tax-dodger to feel justified in their actions, if they are not bothered about voting (& there will be plenty who'd be happy to lose that right, I'm sorry to say)

    outrageous!

    The rest of your post is redundant.
    Except that it makes it look more likely that the last line is appropriate. I'm indifferent about Child Benefit - I get some for my son but it's a fraction of the Tax I pay but I just think it's hypocritical for people to change the rules when they have finished qualifying for the benefit.

    If you have young children and this change would affect you as much as others then I apologise, unreservedly, but if your children have all grown up and you took the money but think that the next generation shouldn't get it then that is a little harsh, in my view.
  • Dogs are disgusting.
  • The State should not pay a pension to people purely because they have reached a certain age.

    If people are unable to work because they are too sick, they should receive disability living allowance (or similar). If they are unable to find work despite being able and willing to work, they should receive jobseeker's allowance (or similar). Conditions for the above (proof of disability/applying for jobs) should be basically the same for all persons, regardless of age.
  • 95% of the population are genuinely too stupid and ill-informed to be allowed to have the vote.
