...is irrelevant.Post #41
I'd say it and its fascist flavour (and my subsequent comments), was more relevant to the thread that your waffle about benefits....is irrelevant.
No, to see if they keep them. If they aren't caring for the kids they lose them. But still have to contribute towards their upkeep.Means testing folk, to see if they can have kids?
So the means test only occurs once right? And then the parent(s) are then allowed to have kids? And they are going to have keep that child for 9 months and 18 years, when they could subsequently fall on hard times.And your irrelevant straw-man post about terminations??
Nonsense. Means testing would be an extreme measure by any nations' standards. What prevents the authoritarian stormtroopers removing the child at any point, if the parents don't comply? You don't reckon that if such a bizarre and cruel law was implemented, that back street abortion 'clinics' would pop up everywhere?And your irrelevant straw-man post about terminations?? Off topic completely, troll.
Ridiculous, unworkable suggestion.i also think prior to having children you should be means tested
No, I didn't say that.So the means test only occurs once right? And then the parent(s) are then allowed to have kids?
That already happens. KIds are taken into care without the parents' permission. In the interests of the child. Sorry that you didn't know that.What prevents the authoritarian stormtroopers removing the child at any point, if the parents don't comply?
No, compassionate law. It looks after deprived and maltreated kids, doesn't it. Parents do not have a right to mistreat their kids.cruel law
How does any logic get to that? There are perfectly adequate, free, abortion clinics already. Didn't you know?back street abortion 'clinics' would pop up everywhere?
I didn't say you did. I referred you to the post I was responding to (#41) , when you criticised my posts. It's not about you and your benefits whinge at all.No, I didn't say that.
Everyone gets Child Benefit, whether they are penniless or millionaires.Why not means testing?, how often do you and your followers bleat like sheep about benefits going to rich people?. I'd rather see benefits going to the needy, I would, me.
NO. His post suggests preventing poor people from having kids in the first place. Have you actually read his post? I must have quoted it half a dozen times.No, compassionate law. It looks after deprived and maltreated kids, doesn't it. Parents do not have a right to mistreat their kids.
FFS. It's like dealing with a 5 yr old. (the clue is in the 'PRIOR')we should have birth limits like in china, maximum of 2x children per couple (regardless of lgbtq+ status)
i also think prior to having children you should be means tested
I posted about that. The majority of the benefit - hundreds a month - comes from Universal Credit, which only applies for the first two kids.Everyone gets Child Benefit, whether they are penniless or millionaires.
I'm not interested in your posts regards means testing parents, sorry. My interest in this thread began at post #41. All your subsequent attacks are just nonsense. I have tried to show you multiple times, but it just won't sink in. You even commented on it yourself, to which I responded. Short memory...?I asked you whether you thought benefits should be means tested and you started writing crap.
And continued writing crap.
And replied to me saying I'd written things I hadn't. Troll.
I'm not referring to someone else's post of many pages ago.
When you replied to his post , YOU were the one bringing in crap about terminations.
How Entitled do you have to be to make everyone look something up by post number, make up rubbish, say people posted things they didn't...
New question, so get your head out of your bottom -
What's wrong with a means test to see if someone's going to struggle with a kid or not?
Lol.Ang on a minute, we were talking about inhibiting reproduction on the basis of how afforadable it was by the parents
