Solution part of the problem

The most alarming thing about those who have reached the top of the greasy pole and are trying to dictate everything we do from what we are taught in schools to what we eat and think is that they can never admit they have screwed up.

Far from accepting that their social experiments just do not work they dig the hole deeper for the rest of us to fall further in.

We have the worst figures of teenage pregnancy of pretty well any country that can boast plumbing and let's be honest the only reason we are not talking about pre-teen pregnancy is puberty - which thankfully the Government has no control over although no doubt someone in Whitehall is already working on sorting that out.

The response is sadly all too predictable. We have a proposal for sex education for five year olds, easy anonymous access to morning after pills and moves to relax TV advertising for abortion clinics and contraceptives.

Its all a bit like trying to reduce burglaries by subsidising the price of jemmies and making them VAT free with a mask, striped jumper and bag marked SWAG given away with every one - with TV advertising for good measure.
