There was a big story at the weekend about a "couple who broke up for financial reasons".
Mike Rouse debated it with one of our mutual blogging mates and decided to do a post on how his views developed in the light of the story - here.
Well, the subject of the original article has contacted Mike Rouse and further altered Mike's perceptions as described in a follow up post. As a result of the turn of events Mike has a much more interesting and rounded story.
In respect of the problems faced by young couples, there is no single remedy or policy solution. In truth, there are several underlying problems that need to be tackled including public housing allocation, taxes, benefits, the overall housing market and crime. David Cameron's promise to put the interests of ordinary families at the heart of policy is an important commitment to getting on top of the malaise.

Posting By A Stranger - Soon to be A Friend |
GUEST POST BY ROMAN CUNIK - PRAGUE STUDENT
Hello All!!
My friend Praguetory here in Prague is allowing me to
make some posts with a set purpose of getting some
internationalist discussions going on some themes
which I can choose as being my "close to the heart"
topics!!
He has warned me that there are many "aristocrats of
blogging" who are readers here and so I begin my
residence making apologies in advance for my English -
which is not as the Queens and for any naivety I may
still have about politics.
For my part I a Czech student with a big interest for
Europe and a desire to travel. I will willing accept
any invitations to stay at your country house or
London abode - I am great reader of Wodehouse and
would abide all conventions (Joke)
Today I present to you my simple agendas:
The need for a deeper as well as wider European Union,for the benefit of the people.
Peace and Disarmament as a a means to politics not a
distant goal.
Ways equality in wealth can be reached in a just and
fair way for all.
Praguetory has said me that he is OK with these themes
and so I invite all your comments to topic one.
Update May 2010 - this blog was written by Robert Chambers aka Mutley the Dog to wind up the serious politicos who normally visited this blog.
