re mis misa comments about our culture.

Unfortunately the welfare system has supported girls who have babies, (the baby that matters of course) and unfortunately some girls do take that route.It is costing the tax payer a lot of money. Things are being done to try to change this way of life for some. thinking that its okay to have children-- because then the govt.will have to give them somewhere to live. we have far too many teenage pregnancies. Often a girls mother will care for the child and the girl can carry on studying or hopefully start working.

The govt. wants to change things because far too many LEECHES take advantage of the welfare system.

We are very short of affordable housing here in UK-- Rents often are sky high.

I wish that sex education would stress the responsibilities of bringing babies into the world.

Our welfare system is trying to make changes so that many on BENEFIT do not lose out if they take a job-- often its the other way round. It can be easier to remain on benefit-- because often the kind of work someone can obtain may not be paid enough to survive.


It is all very complex.

In the olden days, children were literally On the streets> WAIFS and STRAYS.

We had the Poor Law, and the dreadful workhouses.

Until some philanthropists such as DOctor Barnardo set up childrens homes for them-- many of the others were migrated to the commonwealth countries

|Canada, Australia etc.

It is apity that some here do take too much advantage of the Welfare system.

I was an unwanted child-- so paid the penalty of Life in so called CARE.
