A new Conservative peer has claimed that Coalition changes to the welfare system will encourage “breeding” among those on benefits.Howard Flight, a former Tory MP, made the comments just days after being given a peerage by David Cameron. (Must be part of the Big Society and the happiness measure.)
Mr Flight, who has yet to be ennobled, was asked in an interview about changes to the child benefit system which will see top rate taxpayers no longer receiving the state-hand-out.
The father of three told the Evening Standard: “We're going to have a system where the middle classes are discouraged from breeding because it's jolly expensive.
"But for those on benefits, there is every incentive. Well, that's not very sensible."
His comments come a week after David Cameron was infuriated by comments from Lord Young. The peer was forced to resign as a Downing Street adviser after referring to the “so-called recession” and people never having it “so good.”
Now tories, or then tories? Still the same old t***s!
