People like Philpott should not be paid to go on the baby production line, but there is nothing and nobody to stop them.
Child benefits should stop at two, have more and they are up to you.
I agree - but then people like Philpott will 'work' the system, and have two 'kids' here, and two 'kids' there. Would it be two kids per person, or two kids per relationship, or what?
Re the death penalty: I'd rather he lives to see just how much people hate what he's done, and actually what a
