This video is haunting. There is a story in the news of a cover-up by the church of England of the systemic abuse which took place over a 20-year period in a Church of England facility, Kendall House in Gravesend, Kent. The report found that vulnerable girls at the facility were regularly over-medicated on antipsychotic drugs, locked in isolation rooms, physically abused and even raped, during the 1960s, 70s and 80s. It is so unjust that some lucky individuals grow up in loving homes with devoted parents and some grow up with no one to care about them.
We wouldn't have so many orphans if w did not have a welfare state. See The Genius Famine (available on blogspot), quote: "However, the take-home message is that there has been a large and important decline in the average intelligence of Western populations over the past century and more. In every day terms; the academics of the year 2000 were the school teachers of 1900, the school teachers of the year 2000 would have been the factory workers (the average people) of 1900, the office workers and policemen of 2000 were the farm labourers of 1900, while the low level security guards and shop assistants of 2000 were probably in the workhouse, on the streets or dead in 1900. The substantial long-term unemployed or unemployable, chronically sick or physically/ psychologically disabled, dependent ‘underclass’ of 2000, simply didn’t exist in 1900. And even this estimate is ignoring the expansion of education since 1900, which expanded the middle class occupations and would, in itself, reduce the average intelligence of academics and teachers in 2000 compared to 1900.
