In July 2024 I was invited to give two ten minute talks at the Global Home Education Conference in Manchester, England. <br /><br />Those talks were not recorded at the time, so I recorded them a few weeks later when I presented them to another group of people. <br /><br />On this occasion I reversed the order of the talks , and took a little longer than the original time allotted! <br /><br />This is the first of the recordings, and it lasts for 16 minutes. <br /><br />In this presentation I look at the UK tax system and recent political manifestos in order to illustrate ubiquitous cultural changes which have devalued the family. I then review major British scandals in which justice has been fought for not by government or by public bodies, but by families! <br /><br />My take-home point is that in any society, families are the only hope for justice.
