    key word is earning

    and on that amount how much tax do you think they pay. The child bit they get back is pennies to them, however I woulfd prefer to give it them. As opposed to the glass backed T w a t s that have never worked and WILL never work, not cos they have any kinda disability , but simply cos they are wasters.

    No, but It costs too much to means test it, I believe. More cost efficient to not bother.

    In London, yes.

    Round here a two bed flat costs half a million, and nursery care is £1,500 a month.

    What a strange comparison. 'I'd rather they get subsidised childcare than people who don't qualify for it as they aren't in employment'

    Half a million is less than 2 years combined gross salary. Some people work full time and only earn 25k combined gross. round here a 2 bed flat costs 100k. Just saying like

    Then when the HS2 is complete, they can move to the new Northern suburb of London.
