I wouldn't call that a major independent report. I'd call it a misogynistic hatemongering report funded by the church. But perhaps that's just me.

Single-mother-bashing used to just be the preserve of Tories...

PROPER independent reports after studies after reports have shown that the main reason children of single parents suffer is financial, but never let that be used as a block to telling women they should stay chained to the kitchen sink in an unhappy marriage and never even think of going out to work... Fuckers.

Yes, I'd not call the Church of England Children's Society terribly independent.

Thank-you for articulating that so clearly. I'd got as far as "You...what...? What century is this again?"
