00:00The vast majority of the public think it is ridiculous to let people have five, six, seven,
00:04eight children and who they can't afford and ask other taxpayers who work hard to then subsidise
00:09that. That is a frankly ridiculous thing the Labour government have done to allow unlimited
00:14numbers of children to be subsidised by hard-working taxpayers. You know, most people
00:19who work hard limit themselves to, you know, a couple of children because it's all they can
00:23afford. Why should their taxes then subsidise someone to have more children than they do?
00:28That's fundamentally unfair. Labour have let the welfare bill get out of control and
00:33everybody's taxes are going up as a result penalising people who do the right thing by working.
