Working dads too busy for their children.

Then why is it that it is generally these kids that don't go off the rails?

It is mostly those childen who belong to the 'great won't work brigade' and are home 24/7 that cause all the trouble.

Well the workshy layabout dads have all day to teach their kids how to be a general waste of space, a sort of aprenticeship. Hard working dads have to set a completely different example.

You're assuming that the fathers of these children are around or that the mothers even know who they are of course?

Hey boo, I'm one of these.

Thanks to Noo labour I am forced to travel at least a thousand mile sa week and often in another coutnry while I hand over half my salary to feed the great unwashed and the lazy let alone the migrants living in million pound housing.

The reason my kids are good is

a) good private educartion
b) Good moral standards
c) Excelelnt peer pressure in a positive form

d) Geezer has it dead right.

Eknews. Tax doesn't stop at your salary. VAT on goods you buy, duty on petrol, council tax, TV licence, road fund licence, VAT on insurances, tax on savings....

Its OK. There's VAT on lottery scratchcards, own brand biscuits and white cider....

Think you misunderstood my post youngmafbog, or I worded it badly. What I meant was the dads who knew that they spawned kids but didn't give a damn or the mothers who seem to have children willy nilly and any number of suspects could be the father.

The chav scum underclass are a cancerous tumour.

Pretty much all anti-social behaviour is caused by the chav scum - and before somebody comes on and nasally whines that middle class/upper class Henrys and Henriettas caused a bit of trouble in Newquay occasionally, the fact of the matter is that the vast vast majority is caused by chav scum.

I have no problem in people being on benefits who can't work - but I detest with a passion people who receive my hard-earned because they can't be bothered to work.

The problem is that the offspring of workshy wastrels and the long-term useless see their parent's laziness is perfectly acceptable, and therefore most follow suit. Add in to the pot that these sub-humans breed like rabbits with whatever chav happens to be passing, and then you've got even more workshy lazy oxygen wasters poncing off the rest of us.

This really really gets on my nerves.

I'm one of the dads in the article - I work in London and often leave work before my kids are up and get back after they go to bed, and I resent having to hand over half of my salary (which in reality is more than half once all the other taxes have been extorted from me) to pay for these scumbags.
