I'm not quite sure why this discussion rages on. OK obviously I know why it rages on. Because people love a ruck. No one is actually getting anywhere with it are they. Isn't it fair to say that everyone feels the same way about this?

Parents are decent and doing the right things but have been put in a financial hole. Their children are going hungry - Feed them.
Parents are cunts, spending the money that is intended for the kids on anything other than the kids. Their children are going hungry - Still feed them

I don't know what the answer is to sift through this net that catches a bit of both, but you have to feed them all. If you think no, don't feed them. Then, you are a cunt.

People happily crucifying's one another and lumping everyone into the same financial boat is sickening.
