Not quite sure how reducing taxes for the wealthiest is staying in the centre ground.

Neither I am sure that 'clamping down' on unions makes the Tories remain on centre ground!

Electricity supply predicted to reduce and increase in price significantly

Over the coming years certain power plants are required to be closed, so the UKs ability to provide power to the UK is to be undermined; so powercuts are predicted and costs will increase significantly. So much for inflation predicted to reduce!

Government considering and not considering reducing abortion limit to 12 weeks

In another article Cameron says there are no such plans, even though his 'personal' view is that he'd prefer to reduce the abortion limit.

So perhaps there are times when a politicians personal views are totally separate from politics. Like taboo subjects for example.

Britain to pay more for EU overspend.

Britain faces £1BILLION bill as Eurocrats run out of money: That's our 'share' of the overspend

Children at risk from supportive parents watching them play football.

" Parents wanting to watch their children play sport at a specialist sports college have been banned from attending home matches
Teachers at the 1,280-pupil Lea Valley High School in Enfield, north London, wrote to parents at the start of term, telling them the decision had been made because of ‘child protection rules’. "

What I find fascinating is the arguments that are used : 

“We appreciate that parents/carers may wish to come along and watch and support their children.
'However, as a school staff, we have a duty of care to our students and have to ensure that appropriate safeguarding and children protection policies are adopted, implemented and monitored.
'As such, for our students’ safekeeping, we must state that we cannot permit parents/carers or other adults on site at these times, and hope that you will understand and support us in this decision."

It is just like saying "because we care deeply for your children's welfare, you can understand why we cannot allow you to see them during sports events. I know you will also agree with us."

I find human reason so weak, but it is power that allows this to occur. Institutions have the power to write to parents behind language such as 'duty of care' to our students (rather than your children) and 'appropriate safeguarding and children protection policies are adopted, implemented and monitored.' and they can then 'implement' such 'policies'.

I can just imagine parents not having a duty of care to their children and not safeguarding their children.  How on earth the love of a parent over their children can offer less protection than a paid person, I do not understand.  Unfortunately this level of thinking is now becoming more and more normalised in our society. 

The battle of ideas is real; it is those in authority whose ideas tend to win.

Euthanasia is closer to becoming legal

As individualism takes a greater hold of our society, it is just a matter of time before euthanasia services become legal.  We are already on the cusp where assisted suicide is allowable under very extensuating circumstances.  Give it more time, perhaps 50 to 100 years or so, and it will be a service.  If you think your life is insufferable, you will be able to ask to be killed.
