Words again.

This is what Tory MP Howard Flight said - "We're going to have a system where the middle classes are discouraged from breeding because it's jolly expensive but for those on benefit there is every incentive. Well, that’s not very sensible."  Howls of outrage, and yet...  substitute "having children" for "breeding" and you're left with a perfectly sensible comment with which many people would agree.  Who was that comedian who used to say "It's the way I tell 'em"?
