Oh, and not all absent fathers are irresponsible. Boris’s parents were divorced when he was 14 and he turned out just fine, they all did.

You say “Secondly I note you nowhere provide any argument for why we – the taxpayers – should fund these disastrous lifestyle choices. Take away the financial subsidies and I believe the behaviour would also disappear.” Why lifestyle CHOICES? Not every single mother is lucky enough to have been married to Stanley Johnson. But if he wants to divorce his wife and marry me I’d stay married, believe me. Then again I couldn’t marry a man who was clearly out of his wits and given the choice of someone so clearly beautiful and accomplished as his wife even I’d marry her! What I mean is, there’s that little thing called love.

Sometimes relationships breakdown and can no longer continue. Are you saying that divorce should only be for the rich? That every battered wife should stay for the sake of your selfish bloody principles. That every single parent has never worked? That no single parent is disabled? That people should live in misery and pain instead of moving on when asylum seekers can come into this country and get everything having given nothing to this society? One rule for foreigners but our own women and children can rot? Get back to the sink woman and know your place?

I’m sorry Field but on this issue your archaic misogynous views just stink.

You remember the greatest painting contest ?;)

‘The Haywain’ came second.

Boris should take heart from this. In our visual tastes at least, we’re a deeply conservative nation.

You seem almost adept – or unscrupulous – as Simon when it comes to misrepresenting my views.

I note firstly you don’t seek to deny the mountain of evidence showing the statistical connection between single parenthood and disastrous outcomes for the children of single parents in terms of poverty, involvement in crime and drugs and low achievement.

Secondly I note you nowhere provide any argument for why we – the taxpayers – should fund these disastrous lifestyle choices. Take away the financial subsidies and I believe the behaviour would also disappear.

Field: “It is a fact that many young men become fathers as a result of an act of will on the part of young women and without the young men ever expressing any consent to the process.” (hope I’ve got the qoute right) Aw honey has no-one ever explained the facts of life to you? Can’t say I’ve seen news of many men being forcibly raped! They have a choice – they could be gentlemen!

You seem to hold single mothers as responsible for societies problems, they are not. Mostly they are literally left holding the baby and doing the best they can. For very young mothers it is often the grandparents left holding the baby and bringing up the child as they did their own so your argument breaks down. Not all single mothers are young or badly educated, and why do you think that unmarried always means no male! Like the man said – a couple’s a couple, however long that lasts. You may now blame women for ending relationships but I can assure you that the days of being 2nd class citizens and having to prostitute yourself for a roof over your head are long gone and should stay that way.

Maybe the answer to reducing the number of single mothers is for men to get with the programme and either choose to STAY around or make women actually WANT to be with them.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t MAKE him drink. And by the way, it takes two to screw up a relationship – and sometimes you just can’t make a silk purse out of a sows ear, however hard you try.
The cause of societies problems are that of attitude and behaviour generally not of geography. They are not confined to single mothers or absent fathers, look around you. It is the culture of Britain today, we have always had single mothers and absent fathers, we have not always had this culture. After the great wars there were a great many single mothers and they did just fine and so did their children, many struggling in poverty. Find the difference between then and now. You are currently looking in the wrong place.

As for this Superdome of a blog, surely it is commendable that we are doing something for ourselves in a reasonably orderly fashion, rather than expecting someone else (aka Melissa) to come and rescue us.

Sometimes I suspect the fond repetition of the name, Me-liss-a, cloaks less noble inclinations
than a desire to see this blog well regulated…
