Flather

Verb? Noun? Adjective? See if you can decide, and come up with a definition, in light of the fact that Baroness Flather, an Honorary Associate of the National Secular Society, wants to stop all benefits once you have four or more children. Yes, all benefits. You see, a lot of them are Pakistani or Bangladeshi. Nuff said. Isn't it?

    This sounds a good idea to me. 4 lots of child benefit plus free education & healthcare for every extra child seems to be quite enough to be getting on with.

    Whatever happened to the principle of other people's children being other people's problem? Why should a man like you, David, who has rejected marriage & parenthood so far, have to subsidise those who have chosen an alternative lifestyle beyond the level needed to merely replace themselves?

    Seems very sensible to me.
