Interesting article that fits with the theme of this thread.

'The definition of a decadent society is one that destroys its own future, knowing full well the terrible consequences. On that basis, Britain is truly degenerate. Just look at how it trashes its children and teenagers.

Our young are the very people on whom the rest of us will one day come to depend – to care for us, and to earn the country’s income. Rather than mere lifestyle accessories, to be slotted in alongside handbags and cars, they represent our best hope. This human truth has sustained societies around the world and down the ages. Yet in austerity Britain, children have been chucked to the bottom of the pile. They have been robbed of their rightful benefits. And the support they could once draw upon – everything from Sure Start centres to youth clubs to mental-health workers – has been hacked back.'

both parties let down tens of thousands of kids...the Rotherham horror story though was 100% new labours fault as was the Stafford hospital death camp. cover ups, ban on freespeech, bullying trouble shooters....the type of radical kronyism that happens under new labour is more frightening than anything..tens of thousands abused and neglected and nothing said until years later...this is utterly horrific....throw in the Iraq war , the lies and the illegal invasion killing a million innocents and the European disaster and they wonder why they got a hammering?
