Face it - then fix it

The results are not just shocking. They do not merely point to some of
the practical things that need to be done to make this a better
society. They are also a moral reprimand about the way we live now. To
be placed 21st out of 21 in Unicef's survey of children's wellbeing in
the world's wealthiest nations ought to be nothing less than a
national alarm call for modern Britain. Unicef's glum verdict reminds
us how easily we sometimes delude ourselves about our country. But,
more than that, it shows us something hugely uncomfortable - that
other countries are better places than ours to bring up the next
generation. It is hard to think of a greater indictment of any ruling
generation - and that means this generation of parents, entertainers,
public service providers and business leaders as well as this
generation of politicians - than the one at the heart of the Unicef
report. We must not go into denial about this. We are letting our
children down. We must face it - then fix it.
