"Would people use a weight-loss jab if it were free on the NHS? (Yes, if they wanted to lose weight.) Do people, nevertheless, think weight-loss jabs are cheating? (Over a third of people said yes, which is to say, nearly two-thirds don't think that.) Should grandparents be paid for doing childcare? (A third think so, which again leaves quite a hefty majority who think, No, don't be silly.)"
"Two-thirds think that adult children living with parents should pay rent; I'd like to have seen the wording of that question. Because if there isn't an option, it really depends on the income distribution within the family, plus the personalities, relationships and history of all concerned, and even if I knew all these things, it still wouldn't be any of my business, then surely some respondents will have been misrepresented."
Polling from Channel 5 and More in Common measures public views on various personal and social questions. A significant minority view weight-loss jabs as cheating, while most would use a free NHS jab if they wanted to lose weight. One third support paying grandparents for childcare. Two thirds think adult children living with parents should pay rent. Nearly two thirds favour equal division of wills between children. Around one third set age limits for acceptable parenthood (45 for women, 53 for men). Nearly two thirds think older drivers should retake driving tests. The questions reveal everyday moral judgments and family expectations rather than urgent public-policy priorities.
