Adults make decisions

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Ted Newson has a worthwhile CAPX piece on the damage being done to the UK by a bloated welfare state.

Community in Britain is dead, and the state has taken its place

  • Adults make decisions, children ask for handouts: Britain needs to grow up
  • There was a time when Britons actually took responsibility for themselves
  • The state’s safety net has left people feeling more on their own than ever

Last weekend, I was back home in North Essex celebrating my Grandad’s 88th birthday. I reflected on what the Britain of his childhood looked like – a nation of grafters, shaped by hardship, who embodied the ‘Blitz spirit’. I am often reminded of a story told to me of him as a child extinguishing an incendiary bomb that had landed in our family-owned clothes shop, and I wonder how he now views the country he and so many others fought to defend.

The whole piece is well worth reading, even if only as a reminder that there is no indication of this trend being corrected. We are now stuck with a government which does not even see it as a significant issue. 
Yet maybe it can’t be a politically significant issue because there is no political solution, the damage has much further to go before a deeply unpleasant solution arises out of its own necessity. A trend towards one deeply unpleasant solution is already with us of course, the trend towards totalitarian government.  

The fundamental question we need to ask ourselves is whether it should really be the state’s responsibility to rectify everyone’s life difficulties. As much as we all would like some benevolent force to come into our lives and solve all of our problems, thinking that this should be the state is a dangerous fantasy.

Adults make tough decisions, accept risk and take responsibility. Children cry for help.

It’s time Britain grew up.
