This blog post from Guido Fawkes is worth a read.

I have been saying the same thing for years. We have a welfare society that encourages the underclasses to raise children on their own. Marriage is viewed as an anachronism by too many.

Too many lentil munching, sandal wearing, right-on twonks make every excuse rather than trying to strengthen the traditional family unit. It really grinds my gears.

A married mother and father is the best environment for a child to be brought up in. Having a single parent is inferior. Having unmarried parents is inferior. Having two same sex parents is inferior.
 
I know a lot of children where i work who have only their mother, they are great kids.

This is exactly the sort of attitude I am talking about.

I am not denying there are kids who are raised with a single parent who turn out well. My parents divorced when I was young and I was effectively raised by just my mother.

It doesn't change the fact those children would be better off with a mother AND a father.
 
We didn't have chavs 50 years ago. Maybe they are linked?

We had mods and rockers. And they were partial to a bit of violence for the sake of violence. Then in the 70s there were the punks and skins who were partial to a bit of violence. And then in the 80s there was the casuals who took violence all over Europe. And then in the 90s we saw the birth of the chav. British society is partial to a bit of the old ultraviolence.
 
Its been proven that the father is actually the more important part of the parent duo a while ago.

A documentary was done about it recently, forgot its name.

I am one of those kids, my mother even went all lesbian and stuff with rather nasty messed up partners.

I have a good job and am about to start my own company, I think all this no father stuff is bull. I grew up in Harlow after my parents split (I was 8) and I would say 90% of my mates grew up with single mothers and none of them have ever caused trouble.
 
I was for all intents and purposes just raised by my mother, however, she spends most of her time at work, working hard, and is doing fairly well. As such, I have a lot of responsibility which to be honest I think has helped me massively in not turning out to be a giant idiot...

It's the Chav working class uneducated parents who aren't educating their children that are causing issues. Not to mention the growth of child pregnancy.. You seriously expect a 16 year old to raise a kid? They're not an adult themselves yet...

I am not saying that everyone from a single parent family goes on to become a looter.

What I am saying is that the lack of a stable home environment and strong male role model especially means that children are more likely to go astray.

What utter rubbish IMO. Ive been with my missus for 14 years and have a 3 year old child with one on the way. Im not married nor do I ever intend to be. Never claimed a bean in my life and have served in the Royal Signals and now work for the emergency services.

Im not religious and as such do not feel the need to claim a woman with a gold ring. Most people I know have been married and divorced which makes marriage in this day and age a complete moo point.

Now id buy in to the chavs having kids to get flats, having kids at 16, having kids when you cant afford them etc but you have lost me on the marriage argument.

Kids need a stable enviroment, pref with both parents (doesnt always end in a parent leaving, they do die too). This alone isnt enough though, support, discipline and love is what is required.

From my experience I would have to disagree.

Tbh I now see my father (and have a good relationship) but during my school years I did not see him at all and had been told terrible things about him by my mother (I mean seriously bad stuff) and couple that with her same sex relationships, technically I should be a one man crime wave.
 
strong male role model especially means that children are more likely to go astray.

You sure that fact the vast majority of single parents of mothers just happens to skew this view? If there were as many single father parents as they are single mother ones, the outcome could still be the same, showing that it is more an issue with there only being one parent rather than the gender of said parent.
