So called “problem families"

I have several first editions of Punch from the Victorian Era and in the illustrations one finds many examples of social prejudice against the criminal poor. So, this question, is nothing new and the fact that it has returned reflects the fact that we have gone backwards as a society. Social advances that were started by governments of left and right, were lost during the 1980s and have not been recovered.  Of course the solution lies in returning to full employment, and that should be measured by jobs for everyone able to work and not the New Labour criteria of all available jobs being taken. We need to return to a Manufacturing base and create a new Blue Collar class.  There are literally millions in our country who lack the intellectual capacity to undertake White Collar work and so we need Blue Collar jobs so that this group can reengage with society. The Neoliberal ideology of the 1980s has caused great damage to some sections of society and left many in retarded development because they have been left outside of the social process. We should not follow the Victorian habit of mocking those haunting the margins of society, but instead look to bring the alienated back into the fold.
