working-class parents should be able to physically discipline their children to stop them joining gangs and getting involved in knife crimeOnly working class parents David? I'm not sure The Equality Act 2010 will allow us to make a distinction like that. You do remember The Equality Act 2010 that your party rushed through Parliament in the dying days of their tenure in Government? Maybe you said this because you think working class children are somehow inferior to other kids and a good beating is the only thing they'll understand*? Please David just shut the fuck up.
*Dear Xanthippa, I'm not suggesting for a moment that smacking is a good thing. I'm railing at the stupidity of the politician suggesting that one social group should be given dispensation to do something that is illegal for the rest of us. :o)

Pretty much pointless since most decent parents still smack their children regardless of the law and the results speak for themselves.
Serious child abuse is as rampant as ever aided and abetted by authority neglect and judicial apathy. The judge that blamed social instead of the parents for a baby suffering multipe broken bones at 3 weeks old ? Why not as well as ??
Interesting to see him the slip "Race" into the debate though. Who knew black and brown skin doesn't go red when smacked ?
The law is clearly discriminating against white people and they never noticed until now ;)
Thanks for the shoutout!
And, yes - I did 'get it'...
