Childcare controversy

This clamour over the first 24 hour childcare centre shows how conservatives want to tell people how to live their lives just as much as any other group. I confess to sometimes wondering why people have kids if they don't want to be with them as much as possible. And then I pinch myself. I remember that my parents both worked full-time to escape working-class Manchester to live in a country where they believed my brothers and I would have better lives and better futures. They worked damn hard. Let families work out their own priorities.
