This article in the paper has insulted me no end:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1028433/Problem-parents-200-cash-reward-raising-children-properly.html

How is it acceptable to bribe useless parents with £200 to be better parents. They might do all the things to earn the £200 but still hit them, ignore them, swear at them, how will that make them better parents?

It might be a vague typo but I noticed that it says that the parents must teach their children to read or write.

I am insulted beyond all belief. We try our best to educate the girls appropriately and because it's the best we can do for our children, not because someone might give me some money if I hit the tick boxes.

Stupid government, I'm gonna set up my own political party!

Bribes again, eh, for forcing the triple vaccine on our kids. I wonder if less controversial and less potentially harmful single vaccines would be cheaper than the triple and £200 for each child.
