" comment Re Katie Smith -!?.? ha ha it was a joke, yes sentiment underlying the statements which would seem to be the ones who claim the benefit is more likely to be a drinker or decision remedy What's more old age pensions paid in tokens in case they are spending money on crack? "- P Handyside Newcastle "I think the voucher scheme is a great idea I'm sure everyone who worked would agree that the benefits of absolute joke I certainly was not loaded but I have morals and do not want it all.! handed to me on a plate. About the time the government gave us something to help along the way !!!! "- Ashleigh, Belfast

" I agree with Sarah and comment Jessie [down], it's time for working mothers get help and the government should cope with our benefits system is ridiculous! "- Kate !. ridding, Cumbria

" I think a very good grant Mainly because food prices are ridiculous at this point I must say that as a working mom-to-be, I find Sarah and Jess' comments appalling - not all people who are not working at the time hanging around the center of the work or claim benefits !! What a pretentious attitude "- Polly, Brighton

" I agree with Sarah, our mother or mother-to-be working really get things These are the people who hang out at work centers and do nothing that really get the money and. spent on drinks and junk while we parents need extra money to go towards something good in life and really make something out of it! They've got it all backwards. "- Jessie, Mansfield

" I think it's really great and makes you feel important ... but it's only for holders of British citizenship ... what about women who are in Highly Skilled Migrant Program or a work permit, and? has paid tax and national insurance I think it is unfair for them ... "- Zahhra Butt, London

" OMG people who work really can be given anything -? if this is true Are you sure you do not have to sit at home claiming benefits to get the government to do ??? Well this is to get somthing right for once !! "- Sarah, Rochdale

"! WOW It was really good I have put forward my claim to mine .. "- Jemma, Nottingham

"! Finally, women who work can finally get something back from the government It's about time !!! "- Katrina Crowther, Salford

"- Rachel Barrett, Devon" I thought it was very good, and it's great that you do not need to get into the criteria. Done well, finally the government has got something right! "- Stacie Nelson, Welling

" Very good, as for all pregnant women even if they are not on benefits. "- Georgia, Devon
