“Omdat Vader ongeschoold werk deed en de enige kostwinner was, hadden we het economisch altijd krap, terwijl we zagen dat buren en familieleden die niet werkten of zwartwerkten naast hun uitkering, het net zo goed als wij of zelfs beter hadden. Moeder had van buurvrouwen begrepen dat hun kinderen gratis internet, gratis kleedgeld en zelfs een laptop kregen van de overheid. Hun oudere kinderen kregen studiefinanciering die ze niet hoefden terug te betalen als ze hun diploma haalden, vanwege het lage inkomen van de vader. Ze kregen ook huurtoeslag en zorgtoeslag. Sommigen waren op papier gescheiden, zodat de vrouw extra geld kon vangen vanwege haar alleenstaande moederschap of zoiets.

“The point is as long as it doesn’t affect others in a negative manner then just do what you enjoy doing as often as possible, it’s simple. That philosophy should underpin society and it’s something that nanny states just don’t get – that life’s about enjoying yourself and if what you find enjoyable isn’t harming anyone else then it should be of no interest to the state”
