Why don’t we also hear about efforts to help individuals and families help themselves. Successes and failures of such programmes, analyses of factors, experimental solutions which have worked elsewhere, etc.
100% agree In my mind this socialist labour government has deliberately introduce racism into all of it's policies ..... typical communism divide and defeat the population and to hell with democracy
