Sharpe's Opinion
Thursday, 19th Feb, 2009
Iain Martin in The Telegraph:
We learned last week that a 13-year-old boy fathered a daughter with a 15-year-old mother; it then emerged that the various members of the family account for £30,000 of benefits a year, and no one involved works. Six average taxpayers get up every morning and go to work so that such families don’t have to. Why?
If it helps the digestion, ‘Six average taxpayers’ could have been ‘One banker’s bonus’. I think we might have the basis of new lyrics for The 12 days of Christmas.
You have duly been challenged.
