A blog by Luke Akehurst about politics, elections, and the Labour Party - With subtitles for the Hard of Left. Just for the record: all the views expressed here are entirely personal and do not necessarily represent the positions of any organisations I am a member of.
Has it occurred to IDS and the other Tories pontificating about marriage being the great social cure-all that they might have mistaken cause and effect? I.e. that contrary to their suggestion that unmarried couples lead to relationships breaking up leads to crime, poverty etc. that it might be that poverty and deprivation, as well as breeding crime, put such strain on people that they contribute to their relationships breaking down?
