In view of the strong comments on the teenage mum subject in another thread i thought this article might redress the balance a little...unless you have a heart of stone...anyways i'm off the soap-box now

 

cheers

The government should stop free housing and handouts for people who have children and cannot afford them. Its simple I cant afford the payments on a Ferrari so I cant have one, if you cant afford to house and feed your offspring then dont have them untill you can. There is NO REASON why anyone else should have to subsidise these people.

Agreed there is no reason for us to subsidise them, but that doesn't mean that we will stop subsidising them. Although we're not subsidising, we're paying for the lot! ****ing *****cks IMHO!

This was on TV last night. Whole program about her. Showing her video diary, dedicated to her daughter as she was drying. Very sad. :(

Watched about 15 minutes of it, made me soooooooo mad. She was just your typical chav council estate single mother who smokes 30+ a day and drinks at the age of 14. Indeed very sad WHY the film was made and that she died, although I feel especially sorry for the child who is going to grow up to find out their mum was a chain smoking chav at the age of 14, and then past away :cry: . Sorry if this sounds harsh, all of this is IMHO of course.

 

What did everyone else think of the film? Assuming Legrath and I arn't the only ones who watched some of it?

i did watch it m8, seeing as the video was made for her daughter to look back on, i'm sure thats not the way i would want my kids to remember me,

i maybe old fashioned but swearing etc in front of my kids is a no no,

i'm sure there must have been hours more filmed, but you would think the last thing she ever did for her daughter, would be something she could look back on and be proud of her mum, and not sure that cut it:(

saw 5 mins of it...i thought her mum looked young too...possible teenage when she had her daughter (the one who died)...which if she was shows the system has failed back then so its not surprising history was repeated...i'm not saying the mum didnt have a role/example to set but there is a role for education/welfare advice to help the misguided or uneducated in society...rather than what alot of schools do which is basically expell teenage mums...not surprising they dont set a good example as they end up having no access to skills and being told they are wicked or feckless or worse

good god i'm ranting....:)

must dash
