In the “it could definitely be happening here but I’m so glad that it’s not” category, I bring you some of The Daily Mail‘s tales of life across the pond.
A mother of eight lives in a £2.6 million rented townhouse, paid for by the local council, because her huge family didn’t fit in council housing. She blames society for any problems she’s had in the past; society has “failed her.”
Teachers are forbidden in hundreds of UK schools from using red ink, because doing so is “confrontational.” Being told you’re wrong in green or yellow is apparently more soothing.
Happy Boxing Day!
I guess the people of England are among those who have never heard of the term “moral hazard”…
