The Childrens society has launched a report claiming that British children have a harder time now than ever before. Leaving aside how much better it must have been to be forced up chimneys, or that children in other poorer countries are forced into prostitution, there is a part of the report (a small part) that I can agree with - the greedy nature of society and the changes in demographics have indeed reduced childrens access to a proper two-parent home with one parent working part time or not at all, and that change was led by Thatcher. The need to travel distances to work ( and Lord Malaprop seems to think we should travel even further and go to another country to find work, presumably on our bikes in order to meet the Governments green targets), the reduction in social housing forcing people to earn more in order to buy or to rent from high-charging private landlords, the impact all that has on relatiionships and families, the propogation of the throw away society which affected our views on everything including relationships, and the ever growing need to feed the Capitalist Owners of our Brave New World, all this leaves children flailing about in a sea of broken homes, absent parents, stressed families worried about the next pay packet and without real roots or family support because they have moved about so much to follow the work.
