It consumes too much energy. Get into the things that can make a difference in people's lives now.
We've all been on the train when someone starts blasting music or videos from their phone. It gets on your nerves and can quickly spoil the journey.
Let's accept there's a different view there, and then work on what we can work on together, what we can agree on.
We either invest in the success of our young people or pay for failure through the benefits system. We cannot afford to do both.
