Troubled families

However, I must agree with the comments of Communities Secretary, Eric Pickles, that it is time to deal with troubled families.

There are troubled families in Britain who don’t impart the right values into their children.

They often leave their child’s upbringing to a nanny, an au pair, a pub landlord or a private school located far away from home.

The values and attitudes imparted into these children is why some people from these families lack morals, respect for others and an inability to take any form of responsibility.

This explains why so many children from such families are always found among those who defraud the tax payers through expense claims or find themselves arrested during riots for vandalism, looting, defacing statutes or debasing cenotaphs etc.

Some join the Bullingdon Club, the dining society for students at Oxford University, which is well known for its riotous behaviour.

Others from similar families become the bankers who wreak havoc on an international scale.

Ultimately if those who run this country really want to sort out the nation’s troubled families, they should put their own house in order first.
