It’s also touching how many people in this thread have discovered a sudden love of the welfare state after voting for it to be filleted over the last 14 years. Taking money off rich pensioners bad, putting hundreds of thousands of children into poverty good, apparently. And yes Labour maintaining the 2 child benefit cap will only make that worse.
The majority on here are in favour of the welfare state. The only negative comments I have seen over the years are those that mention the abuse of the welfare state (the lazy and the work-shy who know how to work the system).
