The man’s a1970s through back idiot, but not as much as the fools interviewing him.
Mental health problems are caused by the breakdown of Christian beliefs about what a family should be. What a fucking typical tory idiot. Didn’t watch past that(we already went through the Jew bullshit).
Not seeing why it’s worth listening to (only watched 15 minutes admittedly). He kept making claims about what he knows but never backed it up with, well anything.

He refers to family as you well know and there are 1000’s of statistics to back up what he is saying, fucking RT mode fully powered up and only 15 mins in and you had to turn off, open your mind.

Link some of these statistics please.
A single 1000 will do.

As I said, different political leanings, but aren’t you kind of proving his points for him?

There are plenty of points he made that I do not agree with. The fact that Aitken was able to advance those arguments eloquently and without having to resort to insult is fairly rare and I thought his points on the BBC, Question Time and the impact of celebrity culture were spot on.

Left or right, religious or secular, the fact is that we Brits actually quibble over very little. Who gets to own the means of production? Should we be in the EU or not? Does God exist and which one should you believe in.

It’s garnish. Most people subscribe to the same core values. I’m not going to dismiss the opinions of someone just because we have different skylord choices.

I also think you’ve done him a bit of a disservice in your selective quoting. I believe he was referring to the stability of a two parent family, and specifically, the lack of a stable male role model means for those kids that have to endure it.

What concerning single parenting and absent parents?
Are you taking the piss?

He’s an RT bot, what he did there was classic manipulative selection of words and hoping no one would pick him up on it, fucking Putin crony.

No problem with people having their own views, but he was talking bollocks and kept saying how he knows, but not once was it backed it up with any evidence(first 15 mins) and to be honest if the interviewers weren’t so self congratulatory i probably would have watched more.
Came across as a mutual wankfest to me.
I was probably a bit harsh, he’s clearly not an idiot(unlike the wankfest couple), but unless you tell me they question his reasoning at some point, it’s a mutual wankfest, no more.

Where is the mass of evidence you claim?

You asked for a single one a moment ago, cracks are showing.
Here’s one I am off to bed.

Lammys view is not a statistic, just a single opinion. Sleep on it and see if you can do any better in the morning.

Yeah, well that’s really not going to work on me. I watch a lot of RT shows. Where else are you going to find Chris Hedges or John Pilger getting a regular hearing?

When you wake up see if you’re understanding of singular and plural is any better.

But i didn’t.

Pilger?
The Western journalist who hates the West from the West?
Has he ever criticised Putin’s policies?
Rwanda?

Genuine question has he ever criticised Venezuela, Cuba, the Soviet Union etc etc?

Nope. You’re just a giant wanksplodge unable to differentiate between journalism and hatred.

There are plenty of you about.

Ha ha I take it Pilger never has then, selective agenda driven journalism.
He’s no different to the rest of them, facts don’t exist I keep telling you this, it’s all about a point of view and plausible deniability.

Poverty is main issue really.

I agree and single parent families are the poorest, there’s deprivation here in Liverpool that are amongst if not the worst in the UK, and this is a guess and my own opinion that the vast majority of them are single parent families who dont/can’t work.

Or working families because of low wages.

I would suggest you read things before posting. I did and it doesn’t mention single mothers once and mental health only gets a single mention, but not related to children(in fact none of it is about single mothers or their children). Here’s a little excerpt that i’d like you to explain.

ā€œThese prisoners
were asked who they lived with most of the time. Forty-seven per cent of the prisoners stated
that they had lived with both natural parents and 34% with one natural parent all, or most of
the time. Seven per cent of prisoners stated that they had lived in some sort of care (2% with
foster parents and 5% in an institution) all, or most of the time.ā€

Really fucking poor effort Barry and you claimed

Would you like to try again (remember, read what it says before posting. You’ll look less of a twat). Maybe try something relevant to the conversation next time.
