MOST people would not object strongly to the suggestion that, in the present economic climate, child benefit should be cut in the case of the wealthier, nor to the argument that the original proposal is flawed in the two major ways which have been reiterated to us ad nauseam.
What I find astonishing, though, is that no-one in the Government involved in drawing up the revised reform plans seems to have noticed the anomalies – or at least foreseen the protests they would provoke.
