Yes we do, in some areas.
No doubt you find the breakdown of the family unit something to laugh at but it’s not a laughing matter to the children and it won’t be when a child who’s had a terrible time in a broken home turns to crime and mugs you.

If you say so.
Class rant though ;)
"Conservatives" don't have a monopoly on caring for the family unit.

There’s a cancel culture on both sides of the political debate.
On this forum, I don’t find it particularly left wing, more just left of this particular government, which then includes any left wingers, centrists and moderate conservatives.
Ultimately it is a politics forum so it’s going to attract people that have both an interest and knowledge of the topic. They will know this is far from even a normal conservative government.
The problem is due to how binary people want to make everything, any criticism or any support is seen immediately as a right or left wing position.

Poverty is a main cause of decline in the family unit. (And family separation is a main cause of poverty.)Of course, Burke thought family is the core institution, in which societies are structured and then pass moral knowledge to the next generation.
I would like to see some sort of initiative or possibly legislation to combat the decline in the family unit.

It seems like everyone has to pick a side nowadays and stick with it no matter what.
People,on all sides,have been badly let down by politicians for a long while now.
Let's face it, most tutors are lefties because the Tories want to be in jobs that make real money.Yes no doubt you lot are all in your DM’s coordinating a giggle, it’s what is often done on here. They claim I am on ignore and then spend hours indirectly trying to bully me off the forum. Some of these men are beyond middle aged and still haven’t grown up.
If you use your eyes you will see it was originally added on to a wider point as a personal example, similar to what Fode did in his description of discussing the backgrounds of trans people he’s personally met. I was giving an example of what someone I know very well experienced.
There is a cancel culture among the left and it is within your benefit to try and pretend there isn’t.
I will repeat, she saw zero conservative views in several years of being on campus and admitted I was the first conservative she’d actually had a proper discussion with, after coming home from Christmas. The whole point of the story was to highlight how a fairly decent university has little contrasting political views, which was part of a wider point on how difficult it is for conservatives on campus.

Yep. It’s depressing to watch over time how those perceptions start to shift more and more into the entrenched position.
