How about this instead, Ms Harman?

Harriet Harman, whose name cannot be the correct answer to any sensible question, has today called for parents to have statutory paid time off when their children are ill. I have a better idea (which is not saying much, I grant you): how about the State's paying one parent (in practice, probably the mother) to stay at home with children all the time, thus relieving small business of this extra expense while removing the necessity of the State's paying for mothers to farm out even their very small, and thus very distressed, children to strangers? Furthermore, how about we all become less greedy and materialistic in the first place, and thus stop feeling any need to conscript mothers into the workforce?
