David Cameron’s “Bad Dads” attack criticised

The PM’s decision to criticize “bad dads” has not been taken as well as intended according to the BBC charity Gingerbread says that “Government Proposals to charge those needing state help to obtain child maintenance would make life harder for lone parents.” The PM also stated that Bad Dad’s should be treated like Drink Drivers, mmm that’s based on the assumption that some one who is convicted for Drink Drive drink drives everyday, I can’t see the parallel here, Please Mr. PM help me understand, but really further to the point, what do you say to the Iraqi, Afghan, and now Libyan families that YOU have taken their fathers away, will you compensate in any way, probably not, in fact what do you know about real life Mr. PM you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth and have never done a days work in your life, and your sick enough to be planning your Victory Parade with Mr. Sarkozy.

I do genuinely feel there is a problem with what the PM likes to refer as “Bad dads” but I do feel the situation needs more than an Eton toff shouting the odds at the most likely time these part time fathers will be seeing their children. The root needs to be addressed which I think is Education, people growing up in the UK need to realise the importance of bringing up children and not just having a child for a flat or the benefits that they will be entitled too, but the care and upbringing that a stable family brings, I could go on about this for ages, frankly I can’t be bothered! Simply concentrate more on educating the public of whats expected when they decide to bring children into this world and let parents exercise more discipline to their children, I think that’s the right start point and maybe some investment in relationship counselling, I think its way to easy for couple to break up because they know the state will come in and provide, I simply think this is the wrong attitude, but Mr. PM I can’t see them taking your words on board, your talking about fathers who graft hard to earn a living, NOT simply bowing to demands of the Banks and corporations in order to get what they want, maybe you should have had an MP with working class creditability to make the speech, oops I forgot you don’t have any of them in your government do you?
