    Oh Dear

    I'd like to submit this as a candidate for the Oh Dear (MilanBenesXP) collection.

    This woman makes the Rochdale Swamp Donkey seem infertile:

    This all follows on from the stories in the press over the weekend that suggest the birth rate is falling. This I understand will have the effect of fewer people to pay enough to tax to support our ageing population. So this woman is the obvious solution to the problem.

    However the problem is not so much that the population is falling, it is the fact that middle class families are having less children which means that the numbers of people in wealth generating jobs is going to fall dramatically.

      I see, this woman is working class then?
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

        I thought the article stated that she did not work, so she is certainly not "working" class

            My point exactly, it's not that middle class children are not having enough kids it's that neither working or middle class are having enough kids. Entrepreneurs tend to come from working class backgrounds, whereas middle class kids tend to make very good middle management bulletin board skivers.

                Good luck to her.

                I'm must be the only one that thinks she's got her (financial) head screwed on.

                We live in a world where the value of work is diminishing: for many it's 'not enough wages to buy a house', 'not enough to start a family', progression within work is limited even if you excel at what you do, security is poor, education is no longer the avenue of betterment it once was and taxes are high.

                Many of you actually have a certain aspect of working class attitude in that you believe many great things can be achieved with 'hard work'; and for today, for us, this is correct - but only because we have positioned ourselves in a financially rewarding industry but we cannot expect this of everyone. Anyway, this will not always be the case - hence 'plan B's'. Remember: the rich don't work. 'New' remember: the underclass don't work. Who's the fool?

                  No you are not, I agree with you. If I was a 16 year cold with no education and without the nouse to be an Alan Sugar, and I was presented with an oasis of state funded welfare I would do the same. All she needs to do is get herself pregnant and society takes care of her. The problem of course is that one day the money tree from which all this welfare comes will one day wither and die.
