A period of family meltdown?

The attacks against this Government are becoming angrier and more widespread by the day.  Now a senior judge wades into the fray, blasting Labour for not preventing family breakdown.  Here’s what he had to say: 

“We are experiencing a period of family meltdown whose effects will be as catastrophic as the meltdown of the ice caps … as big a threat to the future of our society as terrorism, street crime or drugs …  What is certain is that almost all of society’s social ills can be traced directly to the collapse of the family life … I am not saying every broken family produces dysfunctional children but I am saying that almost every dysfunctional child is the product of a broken family … And what is government doing to recognise and face up to the emerging situation? The answer is: very little and nothing like enough … It is fiddling whilst Rome burns.
