Today could be a big day for the fat spoiled brat that is society. Dave is promising to start weaning the ever hungry state baby off the Welfare tit in a bid to get huge offspring of 13 years of Labour to start taking it's own steps in the big wide world. About time too.
Weaning conflict occurs when the mother wishes to stop nursing but the infant wishes to continue. At this point, the mother tries to force the infant to cease nursing, while the infant attempts to coerce the mother to continue. From an evolutionary perspective, weaning conflict may be considered the result of the cost of continued nursing to the mother, perhaps in terms of reduced ability to raise future offspring, exceeding the benefits to the mother in terms of increased survival of the current infant.
Go for it Dave. The petulant screaming monster Labour created will scream, it will holler, it will throw all it's toys out of the pram and wriggle and shake it's way through tantrum after tear filled tantrum. It will bare it's teeth, the ones that have caused so much pain as it sucked greedily at the benefit nipple. It will scream "abandonment" and tell everyone it meets that it is a victim of child cruelty and neglect and that it should have a new foster parent that feeds it twice as much to keep it from "poverty" and "starvation" whilst like a cuckoo, it attempts to silence the competition.
It will keep us up at night with nappy changes, it will continue to demand our full attention until one day, it will pick up a spoon and feed itself. As ALL children do. Before w2e know it, it will be walking in the garden and planting seeds in a little patch to watch things grow all. Nurturing it's own future, tidying up it's own room and putting things away all by itself.
The rod has been spared for a generation or more and we are left to deal with the frightful result. Sack the wet nurse, ignore the red faced screams. It's time this bastard child of social engineering fended for itself.

My concern with the welfare cuts is that people who genuinely need the state's support (because they can't support themselves and can't get support from anywhere else) will end up suffering.
Yes there are those who cheat the system, yes we need cuts because greedy bankers f**ked up, but it's always those who haven't cheated the system, who weren't responsible for the mess we're in who have to pay. |

In my opinion you are quite right. The problem lay in being too supportive and giving too much in the first instance, Once a person is given a privilege they will resent it being taken away from them Once they are given a crutch to lean on it weakens them, and even when recovering will resist it being taken away. Raise peoples expectations too high and beyond the means to maintain them and they will object to them being lowered to more reasonable levels. The age of reality is returning. |

Yes those who need , then why do we let so many into this country that fits that criteria, piddling about with reassesing what people need is a waste of time.
If you can support yourself and your family then dont bother coming to this country , 100% of the new age problem solved.
Perhaps then we can put the boot into whose here and what they get !! as for trying to pull people off the very minimum they need is pointless in the extream , stop those coming here who need everything paid for by us would be a far more usfull exercise in money saving . |

Conservatives lowering unemployment you must be having a laugh, the two most historic post war spikes in unemployment occured under Tories, Heath in the early 70s and Thatcher through most of the 80s.
