This ,we had 3 children and each one was born at a time where we could afford them ,never ever considered relying on the state to care for their needs.Tax credits wtf all we had was family allowance and me working all hours to ensure they had a decent happy upbringing. |
I’m not sure when this attitude start3d,possibly the 60a when the pill came in and “ liberated” women and attitudes.
Then,a child outside marriage was seeen as reprehensible ,as it still is in many parts of the world and religions.
Now,it’s a vacation for girls to get a house and everything they want whilst not not paying a cent.
And ….we flock to help them and even encourage them .
I don’t believe any child benefit should be laid at all to unmarried people,but that is my opinion.
Rest assured ,if that were the case,fathers would shove a chastity belt on their daughters .
At the very least,they would give a xxxk |  |

I was very grateful to the liberated women in the 60s and particularly the 70s.  |  | | |

Both my nieces were born outside marriage. My sister and her OH have been together for 21 years with no intention of obtaining a worthless piece of paper. |  |

Sorry Gwyn I agree with most things you post, but I can't with your second paragraph.
Far to many feckless parents who should never be allowed to have children, head to foot in tattoos vaping and then moaning about how they are going to feed their brood.
Swansea Town centre is an eye opener |
I was being a bit flippant Rayns but I stand by feeling young people getting a raw deal on here.
Not really surprising considering the average age of posters 😉.
This thread focuses on those unfortunate pensioners who are hardest hit by the fuel cut, yet the one on the child benefit cap looks straight at the feckless wasters who take advantage, ignoring the fact that many who are disadvantaged by it are working parents in low paid jobs, those who’ve had a split or a bereavement, or simply fallen on hard times. | | | |

A worthless piece of paper to some, much much more to others. |  |

If it’s worthless,why the big deal not to enter into a legal marriage
It shows a clearer commitment
Don’t agree fine
Legally,you have fewer rights if not married,especially if things go tits up . | |

Benefits should be for those who really need them. The welfare state was never intended to be a way of life.
If a pensioner doesn't need the heating allowance they shouldn't get it. | | | |

It shows more commitment than raising two daughters whilst spending more than 20 years together? The length of the average marriage at divorce in the UK is less than 13 years. 42% of marriages in total. Personally I'd prohibit getting married until couples have lived together for a minimum five years.
Proper estate planning offers just as much protection as marriage. [Post edited 30 Jul 19:18]

I tend to agree together with the fact that these days families can be spread across the country or all around the World. |  |

Do you have the statistics which provide how long unmarried couples with children stay together, I know of too many in which the father has just upped and left the woman to bring up the kids on her own.In my road alone there are 5 individual women with kids and no father present. | |

A piece of paper that is anything but a meaningless piece of paper
You find someone
Fall in love
Get married in presence of family and friends
Then go on and have a family
Just wtf is wrong with that
Marriage shows a commitment to each other proven legally by document
People on a marriage tend to work out problems rather than just walk away because they can leaving it all behind | |

I'm a firm believer that being married does show a stronger commitment to a relationship but that's my opinion . The remainder in my road consists of married couples all of a similar age and one single women .One single "mother of 4 " in the loosest term possible has had countless relationships and has now decided to become a lesbian , grandparents now looks after the 3 youngsters whilst they go on drug/drink binge all paid for by benefits . | |

Back on topic I wonder if Rachel Reeves will still be claiming the MPs winter allowance of £3.400. | |

MP’s don’t get a winter allowance and the £3,400 figure is nonsense from a Facebook post.
What MP’s are entitled to do is claim towards utility bills at 1 property, it can be more or less than the figure you quoted. I’m pretty sure 1 MP claimed for heating his stable, but reimbursed it when it came out.

Should wealthy MPs actually be paid. Some clearly don't need the money so why take money from the pot when they are removing it for others. | | | |
