You're not mistaking Labour for a left-wing party again are you?
Distraction strategies? That makes me sound a bit more machevelian than I am.
I said earlier that I thought that couples counselling should be available on the NHS, which I thought would help more couples deal with issues, or worst case situation break up in the best way possible.
Frankly I dont think tax will really do much, people dont get married for those reasons (or at least not many do anyway).
An increase in the social housing budget wouldnt go a miss too.
Frankly I cant really take anything you suggest seriously given your opinions on torture. But thats not related to this thread.
Its all about money though isnt it, and the government doesnt have unlimited amounts of it. I think improvements in social housing would definitely pay for themselves, and possibly the counselling too, but it would be a hard sell to the public.
(1) Daily Mail readers who think that counselling is the ultimate example of a "cotton-wool" culture. You know, the sort of people who frown at the sight of people having a hug in public. Probably haven't had sex since 1958, that sort of person.
(2) Daily Mail readers (again!) who think that counselling is a waste of money, bearing in mind NICE won't fund Alzheimer's drugs that would cost £2.50 per patient, despite the fact that you can get this on the NHS in Scotland. Which, whilst the drugs in question should be available, doesn't mean counselling is a waste of resources.
Not really, I just think your views on crime and punishment are unrealistic and inhumane, I dont think you've a fucking clue.
NICE has to make judgements, and often they are difficult, but the NHS cant pay for everything. As for Scotland, well thats a seperate matter, they can only afford all that because the South-East of England pays for it.
No it has nothing to do with single-parent families, your just digging.
I'm not. I already knew. I'n not even going to start down this route, its not my place to say anything.
