There's no need for a debate you fucking retard. The reason why the taxpayer has to do these unpleasant things is because the alternative is worse. Exactly the same reason we bailed out the banks, subsidise millionaires etc etc.

Even the Tories can't say that the benefits system is responsible for that.

It enables.

I think there should be better control of the sale of petrol.

And matches.

Exactly!
Any change in policy/public opinion from something like this is retarded. You might as well read the Darwin Awards and discuss it in Parliment.

I, personally, think they should all be killed.
I also believe in neutering any part of the population that has an IQ of less than 125.

That's because you're a medical man.

He had 17 children in a 3 bed house living on £3k/year per person (him, 17 kids, wife, girlfriend).
I'd hardly envy him.

I'd hate to live in a house with any kids.

I donno man, some of them are alright, like the Saved By The Bell lot

I say fuck 'em.
Child benefit for a maximum of two kids. The rest can starve.

the excess ones could be spread around, to supplement the winter fuel allowance for old folk with fireplaces

It's something to empty your bollocks into, isn't it?

I'm not really certain what 'lifestyles like that' covers

No it wasn't.
The joke was that this is the sort of puritanical judgment that George Osbourn thinks middle england wants.
He obviously doesn't give a shit either way.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 14:00, Reply)

Don't be silly, someone asked him his opinion
saying "we need a debate" is a non noncommittal way of answering and I doubt anybody could suggest that someone should be subsidised to have 13 children when unable to provide for them themselves.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 14:02, Reply)

What are the options in this situation.
1: A one child only sort of policy like china
2: Stop benefits over a certain number of children being paid to the parents.
3: Enforced sterilization
4: Taking children over a certain number into care
5: Forced abortion
6: Grudgingly pay extra for the sake of the children.
(PsychoChomp, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 14:05, Reply)

2, 3 and 5 should do it

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Thu 4 Apr 2013, 14:05, Reply)

I'd vote for you.

I would expect one of the most powerful men in the country
to be able to put a coherent argument together about one of the biggest news stories in the last 24 hours. Than we shouldn't pay for it.

it looks from that article that he made a 1 sentence response, hardly worth all your hand wringing

They'll start going on about how shit the British Empire was next.

Just the usual
pick the extreme case and go on about it as if it's the norm. Both sides of the argument do this.

It's hardly surprising is it, he's a fucking moronic spastic and he got asked to comment on something so he says something stupid.

overlooking things like the fact that jk rowling is a "vile product of the benefits system"
