UK Tories trying control the poor by telling them to have less children

[mikeydt1]

I have seen some things in my time but have never seen this going on since the Nazis tried to cull the Jews. Now the UK Tory party ahead of child benefit cuts are trying to control how many children the poor people of the UK should have.

I came from a poor family but my dad was working full time did that mean he had to have less children even when he was working (now retired)?

i think it is important to get the population under control... because in the end the competition for food and jobs and lot more things will increase...

Maybe the Government should think about controlling immigration that would certainly stop the population increasing. There is already a massive housing shortage and jobs are scarce. The EU are looking at offering immigrants travel expenses and moving costs plus a reward for each job interview in Britain.

It's a contentious issue but are the government really trying to stop people having children? Isn't a review of Child Benefit sensible? Hardly a like for like comparison with the events of Nazi Germany.

I was alive but only just over a year old.

They want to remove child benefit for families with over two children but at the moment are discussing the possibility that this will only happen to families on benefits. They should stop foreigners claiming child benefit for children who do not even live in this country.
