Emma, I am sure we all sympathise with your predicament, hope you are now over it, and admire the courage and resourcefulness with which you have met your obvious severe challenges. And also accept the statistics with which you support your arguments.

But this does not alter the fact that, quite apart from those unfortunately forced into your situation by marital break-up &c, the 'deliberate single mother who deliberately gets pregnant to get subsidised housing and other benefits' is not a mere invented hate-figure, but does exist, in large enough numbers to give concern; or that Labour policies did for a long time encourage this phenomenon. And these disagreeable facts are not incompatible with your situation or your arguments.
