"Without being in any way over dramatic or alarmist my prediction would be, looking back and seeing where we have come from and projecting forward on the present trajectory, that the effects of family breakdown on the life of the nation and ordinary people in this country will, within the next 20 yrs be as marked and as destructive as the affects of global warming. We are experiencing a period of family meltdown whose effects will be as catastrophic as the meltdown of the ice caps. For what is the point of pouring resources into the physical protection of society if its mental health is so damaged and undermined that life for many is so miserably unhappy that it is hardly worth living anyway."
Read the rest of a speech by Mr Justice Coleridge to the Resolution National Conference on 5 April 2008 here and weep at what this country has become and where it is heading.
"It is a never ending carnival of human misery. A ceaseless river of human distress."

He was describing the view from the South West, and what he sees coming in 20 years time is what has already been seen in the Greater London area.
Isn't this an indication of how the South West was the most latterly part of England to embrace liberalism? It's a shame that Cornwall and Devon are doomed, but anybody who has been there has seen the reality for many years, and none of it could be or can be saved by another Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall rural fantasy.
