Unemployment in this country is at an all time low-below what it was before 18
years of Tory govt. It rose to all time highs during their 18 years in power.
Working less hours can only benfit family life. People are always blaming the
young for how much trouble they cause, how they have no respect etc etc etc but
with both parents out working all the ime or just a father who puts work before
eveything else, what can you expect?(i do realise that poverty has a part here
too which is often why both parents work long hours. Society needs to change to
prevent this. Our chuildren are the MOST important investment we have and they
are owed and deserve the very best we can give them-thy muct come before the
4x4, the large house, the ws tv the status, the promotion etc)
