Should be means tested rather than limiting the number of children per family.
Secondly, there's an awful long time from planning how many little cherubs you can afford to have to when the soul sucking leeches become financially independent, a lot can happen, people lose their jobs,partners leave, become abusive, get Ill or even worse. Should those left alone with children and the children themselves really be made to suffer because of those that abuse the system ?

The £100,000 is a sticking point. If you have 2 parents earning £49,999 each totalling £99,998 per year you will get full child benefit. If however you have one parent earning £60,000 and the other parent decides to stay at home and look after the children then you get nothing.

If you are in employment and earn between £50,000 and £60,000 you get a percentage of the full child benefit, you can thank the Tories for that. You also have the pleasure of filling in a tax return every year even though your company pays your tax by PAYE. Again thank you Tories.
