@izzythepush,
But can you not see izzy that the trend to starting school at 3 and these shorter school holidays are making them less and less your kids, except biologically. And maternity ward mix-ups and adoption show that the biological aspect is unimportant compared to the social.
Your kids will always be able to eat.
My rhetoric, as you call it, was merely expressing surprise that a Conservative government should be introducing the measures. It wouldn't have surprised me from a Labour government which has members in favour of nurseries from birth.
Your rhetoric has blinded you from seeing that that was my point. The "world march" of the monstrous regiment of women has embraced all three of our political parties.
Everybody knows why mothers want to work. It is because the man in their life cannot earn enough to keep them in the manner advertising has indoctrinated them to wish to become accustomed to. Cars, clothes, holidays etc. They only pay sentimental lip service to the welfare of kids.
And by working they reduce men's wages in exactly the same way that immigrants reduce wages.
