What has the UK become?

Maybe we should change this to what has society become looking at this at a school in Telford.

Kids starting school unable to communicate and 8 out of 27 kids still in nappies. Although the Tories getting rid of schemes like Surestart didn’t help in children from deprived backgrounds, this one is down to feckless parents. Wayne and Waynetta were a parody, now it appears that their childcare skills are a reality.

Kids already this far back in their development really don’t stand a chance.

Potty training pamphlets should be given with every serving of fast food, parenting tips with every takeaway.

Maybe there is an opening for an uber nappy changing service?

Families with children have seen their incomes fall by an average of £2,200 per year since 2010 due to changes to taxes and benefits, according to a report by the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS). The report highlights that families with children have been hit hardest by benefit cuts over the past 14 years, with parents who are out of work losing £5,500 per year. In-work families have also seen their entitlements cut back. The IFS states that there has been a shift from cash support to in-kind support through childcare, but this only offsets a small fraction of the former. The report also reveals that tax and benefit reforms since 2010 have reduced incomes for the poorest 40% and richest 10% of households, with those in the middle seeing their incomes rise. Higher earners have benefited from the reduction in the top rate of income tax, but this has been outweighed by the failure to increase tax thresholds in real terms and reductions in tax relief for pension contributions.

A school full of children still in nappies and the Headteacher is called Skidmore..!
 
Was in Torquay at the weekend to visit the missus' family. Our seaside towns are horrible these days, not even the sun could cheer the place up

Ive always wondered why that is. Does the bleakness during the winter drive the people who live there to heroin? Or do heroin addicts from over the country really like the beach so move there? Chicken or the egg
