Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

Maggie,

Do you mean like off loading their kids and responsibility onto "penal institutions", to have them indoctrinated in current elitist political theory and helping them to be detached from the Hoi Polloi.

Seems to me to be like "kennelling the family trophies".

so who got the money? .... the councils of course ...... nevertheless, wherever the receipts went, it certainly increased the retail housing stock

==========

maggie - you're quite right in many respects ..... it is a matter of fact that more and more parents are unwilling to accept responsibility for their own actions (having children in the first place) and that of their children ..... they think strange amorphous bodies like "the schools" or "the gov't" should take the responsibility and liability

and then of course, the children grow up with a similar mindset

Harry yes your right it was British Leyland but it wasnt always nationalised and his company did work for Rolls Royce aswel. A specialist pattermakers who ran side by side the big boys.

Chris C what on earth has got into you. you dont need to use language like that. The gloves came off today because of the right wing loons on here last night.

Maggie, my intention was not too upset you i hope I havent but my recollection of the 20 years after thatcher was my mates kids hanging around most days waiting for either of their parents to come home. often ended up in our house where her indoors was a full time house wife. Id have thought you would get more help as a one parent mum under labour governments.

fred - how did you manage to extrapolate that load of tripe from maggie's (sensible) post?

TANK - Credibility scuppered LOL

All,

obviously an emotive subject from whichever side of the fence you sit on, please keep it from personal stuff.

Thanks

Ian

Where's Harry Hill? :-)

ah well ian, there are some who sit with the paling stuck up firmly up their fundament ..... mind you, i guess that keeps them and their opinions balanced

Cynic,

That is why there is shortage of housing for low income families to rent and why some are paying exorbitant rents of "subsidy from the tax payers" into the hands of smaller group of people "landlords".

=----
Maggie,

Some of the institutions (Public Schools) appear like Borstal Schools of old and probably are the correct housing for some offspring,

(Maybe, a suitable reformatory for the parents as well.)

I suppose having a child is performing their duty to the line of descent.

I dunno where Harry is, Skinners.

PS. There's only one 'l' in my name.

:o)

Ian, are you trespassing into family problems?
