Everything, be it knife crime, education or the NHS, everything is always about money with the left.
-
Its not a left or right thing, its actual common sense. It has never been difficult to understand!!! Improve Education, Improve Child Services Improve Youth Services Lower Poverty And ALL crime will fall. Which will save far more money for the country in the long run.

What about improve parenting?
-
Cannot mention that.
-
I'm all for improved parenting but sometimes there are parents who just aren't very good at it. So why should innocent children suffer? If we are just doing things that benefit us as individuals then what happens to our society?
-
Does welfare dependency help children?
-
Child poverty is at its highest for decades, foodbank usage has exploded in the past 7 years so if welfare provides innocent children with a decent education and food then of course it does.

You are so out of touch. Public service cuts have led to a lot of libraries shutting down.

Good. It’s 2019. If you need to know something look on the internet. I doubt most people have been in a library in the last 10 years, yet as usual, the poor taxpayer is paying for a few outliers whinging about ‘services’. Who says the government should provide free books?
-
Plus charity shops sell books for £0.20. Every decent parent can find the books if they want to. (And yes, children have all expensive gadgets, easy to download a book).
-
And then the charity makes money. You can take it back when you’re done. Win. Win.

Truly the elephant in the room. We skirt around hundreds of these horrific issues afflicting modern British society - most of them come down to shoddy parenting. Why are so many people having children who are clearly unsuited to parenting?

Charity shops sell top children’s books very cheaply. Children need to see their parents reading books. Get off your phones and set a good example.

The parents spend their days staring at their mobiles instead of sitting down and reading to their children. Most books can be purchased these days for pennies. Fecless single mums have no idea!

Books have never been cheaper. I have thousands of books that I have tried giving away on second hand websites but nobody wants them. I know many people in the same situation.

My childhood trips to our local library were a real treat, and I can remember the book-y smell of the place 40+ years since I was last there. Mum made dad take me in there while she did her grocery shopping, we were all happy with that.
