You don't claim child benefit - it gets sent to you automatically once you have registered the birth of a child. It is an absolute facking disgrace but it isn't the fault of the people who don't need it and receive it.

A more fundamental point is why does anyone get child benefit? One of the biggest problems we have as a society is that people who shouldn't have children have too many of them. Paying them to have more is pretty much the last thing we should be doing.

No, Huckerson. Combination of being busy at work etc. and realising what a time drain this place is and the fact that virtually all the intelligent/entertaining posters on the football forum got banned/driven out by the mentalists. A bit quieter at the moment and feeling nostalgic so dipping my toes back into the water...

Agree my proposal is a touch simplistic but something along those lines needs to be done. The problem is that there is no pain-free, quick**solution. The only way to actually**the problem is to pretty much sacrifice a generation which is currently on benefits by withdrawing them. That would have a huge number of short-term problems (one of which is an increase in crime) but over the longer term it would remove the dependence on the State.

It will, of course, never happen. Possibly because morally no government is prepared to make sacrifices of that nature (which, if true, would be defensible) but in reality because it would render the party which proposed it unelectable.
