UNICEF: Britain Sucks for Kids

In an article in The Scotsman entitled Is Britain the worst place to grow up?, there is the following report about research done by UNICEF:

BRITAIN is the worst place to grow up in the developed world, according to the first study of its kind.

Wide-ranging research released by UNICEF today reveals the UK lags behind countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary in a league table assessing children's wellbeing.

It highlighted that the UK is struggling in terms of relative poverty and deprivation, the quality of children's relationships with their parents and peers, education and young people's own sense of wellbeing, as well as their behaviour and risk-taking.

[Blah, blah, blah....]

UNICEF officials said the report showed that the UK "scores particularly badly in bringing about the wellbeing of its children"....

[Blah, blah, blah....]

They think it's bad now, wait 'til it becomes the Islamic Republic of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
