Personal Touch [continued]}[25th June

It is the
children I care about most. Why should
they suffer this? Why, above all, did
the parents keep them until the last minute, instead of sending them to friends
the day before? I hate to think what
that day has done to those children -- needlessly, for if the responsibility
for the eviction was the G[reater] L[ondon] C[ouncil]’s or its officers’, the
responsibility for keeping the children in it rests entirely with their
parents. I hesitate to accuse them
of using the children as political capital, but they treated them like that at
the end -- the woman shouting in particular.
There is no surer way to confuse and ruin a child than to hold him up as
an example.
