Quite agree.

Social benefits should be there to support those in need.

It should not be a choice. Working for a living, or living off the state.

The whole system is flawed.

If everyone decided they'd be better off living off benefits, and no one paid into the pot that funds it, the system would collapse in days.

People deciding to have large families, supported solely by the state, when there is free family planning available, is another matter that needs addressing.

Sadly the days of us thinking we could only have things, whatever those things might be, when we'd saved enough to be able to afford them, are sadly long gone.
