There are two comments in all this that have not been viewed in connection with each other.

Somebody mentioned the fact that high flying career women are choosing not to start families. Giok mentioned the decline in population.

Add to these the fact that the UK is rapidly becoming a nation of old age pensioners, and it becomes obvious that, far from being an expensive liability, these young women may be essential in securing the future of the UK.

They are, for whatever reasons, raising the taxpayers and voters of the future, whose revenue will support those who bitch about them in THEIR old age.

Surely then it is right and proper to give them reasonable support, while ensuring that their kids will be educated into better ways of living.

'tain't rocket science, is it?
