People are waking up to reality.
Read an excerpt from THIS article:
Lady Deech, a crossbencher given a life peerage by Tony Blair in 2005, said: ‘The notion that a wife should get half of the joint assets of a couple after even a short, childless marriage has crept up on us without any parliamentary legislation to this effect.’
She added: ‘It is no wonder that England is the divorce capital of Europe and out of step with other European countries.’
Women who expect equality at work should not suddenly be treated as kept women when they divorce, she said in a public lecture at Gresham College, an independent educational institution in London.
Lady Deech said the law should be reformed to discourage ‘quickie’ divorces.‘It is far more difficult to terminate those other pillars of a stable life, employment and a tenancy, than marriage.’ She added: ‘It seems to be an unspoken political decision that attempts to make divorce more difficult are totally unacceptable.
‘Any other situation that is known to harm children, sometimes not nearly as much – for example school food or paedophilia – attracts legislation and extensive public campaigns without dissent.
‘But even when public debate focuses on the plight of single parents and their children, the fact that over half of them are created by divorce and separation is overlooked.
‘It is astonishing that no government seriously considers divorce as an issue while expressing anxiety about single parents, their children and society’s health.’
Crocodile tears: Deech is somewhat hypercritical, having made a comfortable living off ‘the establishment’ since her escape from the Nazis as a girl. She was one of the architects of the very divorce regime she now says she didn’t realise was going to be so destructive to men and marriage.
If you want to know more about the real Ruth Deech – the holocaust she fled from and the holocaust she caused in Britain, go to one of my blogs on – just type in wordpress, her name and ‘whiston.’
The topic of child support and alimony REALLY needs to be decided on a case by case method. There are as many variables as there are people.
‘It is astonishing that no government seriously considers divorce as an issue while expressing anxiety about single parents, their children and society’s health.’
Because intact couples/families tend to be less dependent on the government than single parents, their children and “society’s health.” And the government would rather have more people dependent on them than less.
“And the government would rather have more people dependent on them than less.”
if there’s one thing I might ever be able to give government credit for, it would be the ability to see the future potential of the taxpayers.
an entire country on the dole does not provide much revenue for the state. it was eventual that someone in government might take notice of that. the real question is; what will be done and how long until action is taken?
