Hopi Sen opens a can of worms: what should the left do about family breakdown? In one sense, there’s not much policy can do. As Hopi says, dysfunctional families are centuries old. And they are not confined to the underclass; countless well-off people identify with Bree’s remark: “We might as well sit on the porch and play banjos.” There is, though, one thing that could be done - stop giving people an incentive to have children. The tax-payer spends over £15bn a year in child benefit and tax credits - and that‘s before the billions we spend failing to educate kids and on the police and prison service for picking up the mess. One result of this is that a single person on a full-time minimum wage gets an income of £72 a week more if she has a child than if she doesn’t - and, indeed, would be £6 a week better off even if she gave up work to have a kid. There are three arguments against such subsidies: 1. At the margin, they give people an incentive to have children. And the marginal parent is likely to be a bad parent. One lesson of the Shannon Matthews affair is that even people who are long odds to win the economics Nobel respond to incentives. 2. There’s no good leftist principle that requires the tax-payer to write blank cheques to people who get into messes of their own choosing. We should be helping those who can’t help themselves - the low-skilled, the unlucky, but not parents. http://stumblingandmumbling.typepad.com/st...st-child-s.html Imo children have to be a focus of help and there needs to be a determination to give them a fair chance regardless of backgroud...But the system seems to be counterproductive it seems...

Vladimir Putin 'to wed Olympic gymnast half his age' By Harry de Quetteville Last Updated: 1:25am BST 17/04/2008 He is the president of a resurgent superpower. She is a rhythmic gymnast less than half his age. Vladimir Putin to be chairman of ruling party Now all Moscow is ablaze with rumours that Vladimir Putin, 56, and the flexible 24-year-old Alina Kabaeva have decided to tie the knot. There are increasingly frantic rumours of a wedding between Mr Putin and Alina Kabaeva, the rhythmic gymnast and model The whispers of romance are particularly scurrilous because Mr Putin has not officially announced any separation from his 50-year-old wife, Ludmilla. But the former KGB spy, known for keeping his private life as far out of the spotlight as his former career, is reported to have split from her two months ago. Rumours of Mr Putin's courtship of the rhythmic gymnast champion and model, who is now a member of the Russian parliament, have been circulating unofficially for some time. But only now has a Russian newspaper dared to print the gossip, citing a party planner in St Petersburg who claimed to be bidding to organise the couple's lavish wedding reception. Fucking Rasputin more like!

Were you working a corner? Missed our train. Had no cash. Luckily there's an all night McD's at Berlin train station for such eventualities... How's that lucky if you're stranded in King's X? It's not if you're in Berlin either as you end up eating a lot of burgers. -
Makes me laugh people are happy to go to room 101 without a brief....

No. Take a lawyer if you can. Don't think I'll need a lawyer, as I say, the accusation is completely false and I should be able to get the evidence to prove that, more of a fucking inconvenience than anything. Good clear you're name but resist giving personal data unless charged. They will try and coerce you as there is a massive drive to collect dna in the UK atm. They will pretend they destroy it and other such cobblers or say it is just to clear your name etc...Resist all this cobblers.

Have you got the new 'chip' passport?

YOu can still refuse dna unless they charge you with something. Don't under any circumstances give dna.
-
Yes don't go to the cops before you fly if you can help it. If they enter your data in a da machine then god knows how much access the U.S. now have.
