Am I missing something? The state is horrified that girls are opting to be housewives rather than doing their patriotic duty and be workers for the state in minimum-wage jobs.
This might be the start of the collapse of the great fraud.
That being that if a couple both work, they can have twice as much money for themselves; except that then taxes are raised so high that one of them ends up working for nothing.
So the state is how aghast that girls would choose motherhood and welfare over good, honest labor. But if they stop paying them welfare, then they are no longer beholden to the state, and the state has less control over their lives.
This could plunge all of Britain into anarchy!
What about the fathers!
