did anyone watch the alan titchmarsh show yesterday

Did anyone agree with the argument of limiting the amount of children each family has in britain to 2. I was absolutely disgusted when Nick Ferrari compared all mothers sat at home with there numerous kids, watching tv all day, smoking, and comparing us to the likes of Shannon Matthews mother....how dare he tar all mothers with the same brush. They were arguing that familes with many children were a strain on society....what about all the immigrants that the government are allowing in this country...maybe that should be looked at before limiting the amount of children we have.

I havent got kids but fail to see why any sane person would want to have more than 2 lol

The Goverment should only pay benefits for the first 2 Children, you would then soon see a decrease in the amount of children some parents have.

At the moment some consider having large numbers of children as a source of income. Whereas years ago couples had to consider if they could first afford it before having a child, the state did not pay you then to have children.
