I've said it before but childcare costs in the UK scare me

e: I remember reading about a teacher on BBC who literally spends all of her salary on childcare and they live on her partners income

e2: different article but honestly it's crazy

and suffice to say, your average Brit doesn't earn anywhere near what the Swiss do, which is around £60k or so

the poors should stop being so profligate and wasting their money on luxuries like booze, fags, flatscreen TV and children. Britain is full, the last thing we need is more screaming kids taking up precious NHS places, food, and space on the roads

the limit should be whether you were under 18 at the time of the brexit vote. if you were 18+, brexit was 100% your fault and you should be barred from the EU forever

"When I was a girl, around 12 or 13, I had a fantasy that I'd grow up to marry Captain Scarlet, but he'd be busy fighting the Mysterons so I'd cuckold him with the sexiest people I could think of - Nigel Mansell, Pat Sharp and Mr. Blobby."

For the same reason they hate brown people or gay people or any other minority group you care to mention: because if they can get people worked up about any old shite then those people won't be worked up about questions like "why are businesses posting record profits year after year when times are only getting tougher"
