The UK has been accused of failing its children, as it comes bottom of a league table for child well-being across 21 industrialised countries.

The Unicef report looked at 40 indicators including poverty, peer and family relationships, and health.

the survey asked them things like:
"do you find your peer group kind and considerate?"
naturally the british kids said f*** off you must be joking!

in sweden and other nice places the children replied,
"why yes kind sir, i must say that i do find them to be most sympathetic and supportive"

Scientific studies prove that the psychogeometry of Victorian red-brick housing alternately stimulates and represses brain centres responsible for aggression, whingeing and general uselessness. The effect is incalculably exacerbated by the presence of pebble-dash veneering.
