...interesting thread which made me think of, the all too many, children in this country who are born into poverty, do not benefit from a decent education, receive poor parenting, lack of opportunities and are on the sharp end of discrimination. I think the stats will show that they will probably die earlier, (Life expectancy of some communities in the UK is less than 55) probably from many of the habits that animate some of the posters on this thread. We are already seeing people in poverty being demonised for being poor are we now going to see the demonisation of people who do not lead a healthy life style?' the reasons for addiction (obesity, smoking, alcoholism or dare I say it RAD) are probably quite complex I would suggest. For me free healthcare is one of the greatest achievements of a civilised society and I am proud the UK still, just about, leads in this.
