Research shows unequivocally what the benefit limit means: kids go without food, clothes, and heating. You can think it’s unfair some parents get cash you don’t or made poor choices you didn’t. But if you think that resentment is more important than a child, I’d suggest you might reflect on that.

The two child limit is and will stay popular with the public. It jars a sense of “fairness”: if I have to assess my finances before having kids, why shouldn’t you? But people get sick, sacked, and contraception fails. Crucially, fairness isn’t always what matters. Whether a child goes hungry does.

Maybe don’t post before you’ve had a coffee if you can’t trust yourself to understand context cues.

In fairness, figure 1 does seem to capture my brain when I have autistic overwhelm, so maybe that’s what its setting out to do?

I’ll tell you what - I can knock up a design for about £2,125. I’ve got no engineering or architectural skills BUT I do quite like a bridge, so it likely all works out.

Bonus content: if you zoom in you can see a star chart I give for myself if I do my daily ‘sit in the mezzanine and right down the things you’ve achieved‘ task.

Merci! I love weird spaces so was very excited when we viewed the flat and we found it. They hadn’t even put it on the floor plan before - just ignored the area entirely.

Can you believe that when we looked round this flat, the previous residents were just using it for storage?? Like an ugly attic with bits thrown up there. No, no, no!

lol stay in your lane you silly person!! You don’t understand how magistrates work in the UK. It’s literally meant to be done by lay people!
