I cannot abide comments like this @JuliaHB1 no doubt? My mum was a single parent, I have a degree, own my home and like to think I’m a good member of my community. Get lost with your judgemental and unhelpful attitude! Single parents do the job of two! They’re superheroes!

De-criminalising cannabis, no stop and search, cultural diversity with uncontrolled immigration, disproportionate support for single parents to deconstruct the nuclear family all government policy decisions since 1998. 20 years of mistakes.

I’m a single parent and my daughter is a happy, well-rounded girl, however you can’t argue statistics and I’ll be the first to recognise that a father figure is an important part of any child’s life.

But there are other facts and aspects to consider in this - police cuts, youth services cuts, inequality. It’s not helpful demonising single parents and that’s what’s happening I feel? It’s a much more complex situation and a diversion away from the government’s devastating cuts!

I agree but there is an undeniable link between kids involved in crime coming from single parent families

Many SPFs do brilliantly well. But ugly truth is that practically all problem youths stem from SPFs. Not all SPs equally able, anything but.

That's why all the cuts to e.g. Sure Start, Youth Services, mental health services, is so devastating to less able single parents who need all the help they can get.

But of course there are also children with two normal parents who go off the rails and commit serious crimes.

What you fail to understand Julia is that you have lost the argument because "the righteous left" have spoken

"no-one is blaming single parents" And that's the problem. No-one holds women responsible for anything. You've shifted the blame onto men... again. Stop giving women cash/property bonuses for having kids and getting divorced.

FFS there’s absolutely no point in explaining the very obvious point you made when there are people out there who just want to take offence!!
