Intro. by Mike Buchanan, J4MB: The media has been full of reports that Theresa May plans a major investment in mental health services for children, to deal with rising levels of depression, anxiety, eating disorders etc. At no time has this leader of the Conservative party – a party which has been ‘conservative’ in name only, for many years – shown any enthusiasm for tackling what is surely the source of many of those unfortunate children’s mental health problems, the breakdown of the nuclear family, and the lack of fathers in children’s lives, due to the actions and inactions of malicious mothers, with state support.
Dear God, who is going to save us from this ‘shared society’ nonsense? As Tim Stanley points out, the idea of a ‘shared society’ is a tautology as ‘society is about living together, so it’s inherently shared.’ But there is more to worry about here than mere semantics. The idea that government is a solution to our now divided society is dangerous. The reality is – it is very much part of the problem.
