At what Point did the Revolution that washed over Britain in 1945 Fizzle out, I see more charity and welfare state handouts now than I ever did during the Late 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s or even the 90s....the only difference is now that it is going to more and more people who's birthright is not British in origin.

I'd have said 1979 when that heinous shrieking Thatcher woman got elected.
There were greedy people before that but she made greed more than just acceptable, she made it trendy.
Every government since has been pursuing the same agenda.

When they set foot into this country they'll start and fire out kids to get child tax credits. What other country does that?

If they've got children in another country they still get child tax credits. #-o #-o #-o
