Jeez, Bernie, it's a big question. Why it should be higher in Hyndburn I don't know...one thing we can't blame PB for!

It's a thing society as a whole has to tackle, and it has to start at an early age. I don't mean talking about contraception at 5, but instilling some kind of moral standards and respect for fellow human beings..that would be a start. And if the parents are't willing or able to do it, then the broader community needs to. Otherwise we are going in a downward spiral. It's like a lot of things that are wrong with society today, and they all seem to be intrinsically linked.
