Despite being a rich country, the UK is failing children and young people
 

UK comes bottom of child well-being table

Once again Tony Blair's smoke and mirrors comes crashing down caught out twisting the facts to make this Government look good. Does Tony Blair have any idea what's going on in this country? No, due to all the yes men and spin doctor's he has around him.

Gee...I used to like Britain. I get such a dark impression from reading this forum. Isn't there anything nice to say about the place anymore? Can I still buy a nice Cadbury from a vending machine in the London Underground? :cry:

Yes you can. :yep:

Thank God. Long live the Queen. :sunny:

Galaxy bars are good too.

Sorry to rain on the party guys but you might find those vending machines out of stock due to Cadbury and it's Easter egg recall. :rotfl: :rotfl:

By the way despite this bad news it is not all doom and gloom in the United Kingdom. :sunny:

Tabloid press my **** the report came from UNICEF which shows why kids are getting out of control.

PS: OLD MISERY, CHARMING.

Get it right I am the angry man of England. :smug:

STEED, get down to the pharmacy and please renew your prescrition of happy pills.

Ever since you stopped taking them you have been doom and gloom.

You must realise that this country has beautiful and wonderful things going for it.

Things like:

Oh, nuts...:damn:

As you were.

Nice one. :rotfl:

I am so angry with Westminster, the BS that comes out of that place is a disgrace and all the PC clap trap as well and so on. People of England if you sit there and let this crap continual then this country is finished. Rise up against the corruption and let's get the Great back into Great Britain.

I cant even buy chocolate bars and soft drinks from school anymore because of that <expletive> fat lipped son of a moose Jamie Oliver. Who the hell is he to say what I spend my money on and what I eat? I'd trust a chocolate bar a damn sight more than the canteen food! :stare:

Jamie Oliver!!! Please don't get me started on him. :hulk:

He's all over the TV and in the news. :hmm: Hang on he's not in the news at the moment. :)

How many tv shows has that guy got going now? He is everywhere. :o

I think I'll make a chart too. I'll call it "LoBlo's-Chart-of-Manipulating-Construed-Stats"...

... really though, how can anyone distinguish whether what these people are saying is good or garbage if there's no presentation of the actual data in the article?:down:

Here's a source with raw data & methodology.

Wow, who thought the BBC would provide adequate reporting? :)

Well, I'll thank STEED for posting a marginally better source than the Daily Mail or the Sun

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

^this! I couldn't agree more.

ITV is very tabloid.
