Here we see a typical Carroll response in a thread where he sees that he and his pals are failing:

In his post Jim Carroll - 09 Sep 17 - 12:57 PM he goes trolling with an attempted diversion - "Hardly worth putting in your glorification of WW1" - dredging up threads from years ago, most of whom Carroll & Co managed to get either deleted or closed down. No connection whatsoever to the topic under discussion.

He tries again later on in the thread with his return to abuse by members of the Roman Catholic Clergy in Ireland - a thread that he and his pals got closed down. No connection whatsoever to the topic under discussion.

SPB-Cooperator - 09 Sep 17 - 03:54 PM

"the implication of your post that those below a certain income are only getting pregnant to sponge of the stet is reprehensible."

Really SPB-Cooperator? Reported in May this year - Super-sized families on state handouts cost British taxpayers £21.2million each year in child benefits. Breakdown is as follows:

- Families of 8 children - 2095 families claim £12.7 million in child benefit.

- Families of 9 children - 800 families claim £5.4 million in child benefit.

- Families of 10 children - 270 families claim £2.1 million in child benefit.

- Families of 11 children - 85 families claim £697,000 in child benefit.

- Families of 12 children - 30 families claim £267,384 in child benefit

- Families of 13+ children - 10 families claim £96,252 in child benefit.

At no point at all in my original post did I mention income, as Shaw pointed out child benefit gets paid to all - what I did refer to was the ability to provide for the children any couples chose to have.
