this is another issue worth looking at re benefits. seems to me that there are those prepared to doss about on benefits with no intention of getting a job because "it isnt worth it financially" and many of those who do work are finding that both parents have to work in order to survive financially with the result that they dont have enough time with their kids. What did Blair do to help these working parents, oh yeh, he helped them with childcare so that the kids could go to surestart or preschool clubs and afterschool clubs. Our children are being institutionalized. Surely it should be "carrot and stick", benefits to allow a parent to stay at home with preschool children and then some "stick" to encourage them back into work afterwards. Havent heard any of the political parties mention this topic though...
