| Message | We have many complants to lay against the door of modern parents who don't bring up their children properly, but this proposal does nothing to make things better and quite a lot to make things worse. The state has a more responsibility to ensure children do not grow up in poverty and squalor. Abraham Bridgewater (Leader of the Pensioners' Party) |
