New social security.
Posted: March 25th, 2017, 4:04 pm
Watched a programme on the new rules about amount of annual SC paid and how it affected those who claimed it.
The thing that really irritated me was that all the examples given were single mums, one with 5 children, one with 4 and the other with multiple kids. They all exuded a sense of entitlement,' why were they not given more' 'couldn't feed their kids' couldn't buy their kids what they wanted'.
To me, however, this wasn't the worst thing. Throughout the whole programme their was no mention of the fathers of these kids. Do they not have any responsibility? Surely the whole burden should not fall on the mothers or, for that matter, the state.
One mother (of 5) even had the gall to suggest that she couldn't possibly leave her youngest child with a stranger and had to stay at home to care for him. (This mother has never had a job).
Social security was supposed to be a safety net not a lifestyle choice.
It makes my blood boil.
