A very interesting piece just published by ‘Researching Reform’::

I’ve just posted the following comment:

I should be astonished if there’s not a strong causal link between the state’s assaults on the nuclear family, and the increasing incidence of mental health problem in children and young adults. Assaulting the nuclear family and financing the lifestyle option of single motherhood have been the default policy directions of successive governments for 30+ years, and accelerated under the Labour administrations (1997-2010) due to the nefarious activities of Harriet Harman and her like. The Conservative-led coalition has pursued the same policy directions. The proposed ‘tax breaks’ for married couples is truly pathetic – not all couples who are married will get it, and those who do will benefit by less than £4 per week.

About Mike Buchanan

I'm a men's human rights advocate, writer, and publisher. My primary focus is leading the political party I launched in 2013, Justice for Men & Boys (and the women who love them). I still work actively on two campaigns I launched in early 2012, Campaign for Merit in Business and the Anti-Feminism League. In 2014 I launched The Alternative Sexism Project, aiming to raise public understanding that the sexism faced by men and boys has far more grievous consequences than the sexism faced by women and girls.
