 Tory leader David Cameron has called for more powers to “compel” fathers to look after their children in an effort to tackle gang culture. He told the BBC he backed tax breaks to help families stay together and promoting a “culture of responsibility and respecting authority”.Mr Cameron’s comments follow the shootings of three London teenagers in less than a fortnight.

Not sure how I feel about this new story.. on the one hand he’s blaming fathers for these feral kids running wild on our streets.
On the other hand, at least he realises that a father figure in a young boys live has a positive effect.

I think that there is a slow realisation that single mothers cannot raise young boys (or girls for that matter) to be responsible adults. The breakdown of traditional family values and no fault divorces is what is responsible for our unruly children.

What sickens me is that he did not place any critisim on single mothers. He dare not.. instead blame the fathers.
It’s the woman that found themselves pregnant with the local gold chain sporting drug-dealer who was always in prison. Remember it’s their body and their choice.

Maybe just maybe, he can involve fathers more…. why not have a bias for boys to reside with the father when dividing the ‘assets’ after a marriage breakdown. Yes, I said ‘assets’, since that is what woman use them as in the courts.

Our society is f**ked…. there’s nothing we can do about it. And we can expect it to get a lot worse in the coming years.

    Yep. We women need to take some responsiblity:

    1. Quit allowing our precious eggs to be fertilised by any man in a manner that gives him the choice to legally bail in the future…and then whining about it……

    2. Stop choosing idiots as partners, whether they be like my ex (stupid me) or local drug barons…. While my ex was indeed a bastard, the writing was seriously on the wall from the start and I’m supposed to have a Grade A A-level in English……

    3. Do something other than have a baby – plenty of careers and cats to commit to……
