Originally posted by expat View PostI am afraid that Dodgy is probably right there. It would be more agreeable if it weren't so, because then we could all rant to our hearts' content knwing that we have identified the villains and it's only a question of whether they need hanging or a good kick up the arse. Also because it would mean that the pattern won't reappear. But it's not so simple, and it will.
My view is that it is the state that creates most of the evil people and most certainly the criminal and anti social elements of society.
The closer a child grows up to state institutions (welfare benefit parents, education, soial housing) the more likely that child is to fall into crime and f*cklessness. What is interesting is that the state then demands more tax in order to patch up (police, "sure start" prisons social workers healthcare etc) the problems that it creates in the first place. By spending more money the unintended consequence is that more people are then drawn into dependence upon the nanny state (no longer being able to pay for private education is one such example).
At the moment say about 25% of our income goes into welfare, education prisons, police etc. If we were to increase this spending to 50% of our incomes would our problems go away? No they would simply double.Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyoneComment

As usual with an argument, it's possible to stand it on its head.
Maybe its not the state creating these problems, maybe the state is just reaching out to where the problem already exists ?

Originally posted by expat View PostNo, family law. Secrecy automatic, for protection of children's confidentiality: which makes sense in principle even if it seems to produce unexpected results sometimes.
What is the point of protecting a child that is DEAD !!! This is to protect HMG, and it's just a shame that too many people are just too stupid to realise this.Comment

If I hear the phrase "lessons must be learned" one more time amidst this shambles, I think I will scream. Quite patently lessons have not been learned, and some fooker's head should roll.

Originally posted by DodgyAgent View PostLook at evidence then. What do you think a survey of criminals would throw up? would they be mostly privatly educated middle classes at the one end or would they be the products of single parent, council house, welfare recipients?
what do you think?
you can't make sweeping statements. It upsets the proles!!“The period of the disintegration of the European Union has begun. And the first vessel to have departed is Britain”Comment
