No. The extent of "Benefits"being paid to people in the UK is ludicrous. If people don't get paid enough in the jobs they have then they should #1 get a second job and/or #2 reduce their living standard to line up with what they earn or #3 move to somewhere with lower housing cost.
As for overseas aid - that is utterly disgusting. Especially when the UK is having to borrow money by issuing Gilts (taking on debt on our behalf just to give away).
Then the money being paid to people here that includes child care allowance for dependent families overseas. Dependent families? Yer. Right.
As for child allowance, with the population numbers of the UK it should be a child TAX.
And trust me, I'm deadly serious.
