I can't find a link to the that story... sorry!
Then there are the benefits that encourage breeding-for-money. One or two kids with state help I'd agree with, we'll need workers and their taxes in the future, but 6/7/8/9/10 kids? No way! Especially when the parent(s) are not working though choice.
The trouble is, any cuts that cause child poverty will be attacked......

That is the biggest problem,young teens seeing pregnancy as a ticket for a free life on benefits ,there are very few everyday jobs that could support a family of 6/7/8/9 kids but getting young mums to realise that you can only have what you can afford and that includes kids is going to be hard
