Re: Are people in need of help or a smack?
I just told my mom that in the U.K. lone parents got a benefit so they shouldn't have to work. She asked me if I was serious, when I said "yeah" she said they're insane.
Just pointing out the view from a mother outside the U.K., where receiving such a benefit sounds crazy. So limiting it to 12 years instead of 16 years is certainly better than not getting it at all. If it was up to me they'd only get it for 4 years, so the gap in their work experience doesn't get too big.
