Nanny is awake again

But it's excellent for Government statistics. Both parents work and farm offspring out to a childminder results in 3 people classed as employed and paying tax. One parent works, other stays at home to bring up the offspring results in only one person employed and paying tax and Government paying unemployment benefit to people who might otherwise have been employed as childminders.

Now if Government really cared about family values they'd pay a childminding allowance to people where one parent looked after their own children full time instead of going out to work.

Yes, but this is in response the media and elsewhere every time something happens saying that the government should do something and its unwillingness - because it would be pilloried in the press - to say that if people choose to do x then it's their own fault.

Now you're talking! That *would* be useful. I'm all in favour of people having to have a licence before they're allowed to procreate. Enforcing it may be a little difficult though!

That's something I've been advocating for years. Just because some people can breed, doesn't mean they should.

Jerry is genuine, I'm afraid. He's been around in variations of the :::Jerry::: theme for years. He honestly believes the s**te he spouts and in that, one can only admire him.

FYI just 6 posts up Firth says to Jerry: "Guess what? You're wrong." So I suspect not the latter.
