It's beginning to become that the poor can't have kids. What kind of society would that be...?

Agree with that Matt. The older generation always saying they had it tough but the young folk in my eyes have it tougher! As you say two people in most cases have to work and not easy for young ones to get on the housing ladder. Disgusting how some had their state pension earlier and now others have to wait an extra 3/4 years! That’s not exactly fair!

It’s the older generation too who usually are the most racist and unaccepting of how times have changed!
