There was a rather surreal debate on the BBC this morning on the issue of parenting. I suggest to you that the BBC is antagonistic to the essential idea that a traditional family unit provides the optimum environment in which to bring up children which is one reason why it shills for “gay marriage” and other such bizarre inventions. So in this discussion at 7.50am, we have a really strange debate on parenting which has a lady, Camila Batmanghelidjh of charity Kids Company, who seems to believe that the State can be an effective substitute for parents. Richard Reeves from Demos suggests that those on a low income struggle “to parent well” and thus need government “help.” So much jargon employed, so little common sense.
THE PARENT TRAP…

Given how often Batmanghelidjh is in the media I’m amazed she has the time to do any other work. The media love her crazy dress sense and willingness to do interviews but so rarely talk about the work her charity do. The little I have read doesn’t fill me with confidence however.
What I can’t understand is Batmanghelidjh’s mindset. The state has totally failed the children she works with so she seems to campaign for yet more state involvement. Wouldn’t a better solution be for charities to run childrens homes as they used to in the past ?
Camilla, while in many ways a noble and admirable woman, has no children of her own.

I really like Camila Batmanghelidjh. She certainly does not oppose good parenting nor does she underestimate the value of family stability, or think that the state can be an effective substitute for parents. She isn’t merely ‘of a charity’, she set up Kids Company herself.
Camila Batmanghelidjh is compassionate, constructive and an expert in child development. She works with the casualties of inadequate or non existent parenting, and she picks up the pieces and supports them after things have gone very wrong.
Here endeth the lesson.
P.S. I have several children.
Check out that bitch’s eyebrows. Damn. No wonder she hates everybody/is a lefty.
