Let us hear why then, I am sure you have brilliant responses to the article rather than simplistic statements, much like Panzers.

In any event, dont you think this can be abused. If I had a child in England I would make that baby bond my savings account, because at age 18 the government will double whatevers in there!
The whole point is that it is a form of savings account. Money goes in and cannot be touched until the child is 18, and all money which goes in is doubled by Govt. You may come from a background and family where that kind of thing and the kind of money available to put aside in an account such as this is easy - this is aimed at precisely the people in which it isn't. That is why it is such a good policy. On top of this it creates a saving culture, to try and get us out of our spiraling and uncontrollable debt we are racketing up.

It clearly shows that you have no idea about the situations of the families the policy is there to help when you make statements such as this -

Hell, I could probably put over a million in over the course of 18 years, that makes a million pound profit for the family - unless your kid hates you.
If you believe a single mother on the minimum wage can set aside £500,000 while bringing her child up then you are living on another world. It really does seem you have no idea, but then again that is probably why you hold the opinions you do. A bit more experience of what people go through and we might save you yet.
