Neil Oliver – “For the last two years our society has failed our children. Parents, teachers – anyone who works closely with children reports rising levels of mental health problems among the under-18s that can only be described as surging. I would call it a rising tsunami. It is not Covid that has done this to our children. It is lockdown and all its attendant miseries of state-fashioned fear, closed schools, cancelled exams, remote-learning, isolation, stolen years. Between April and October 2021 more than 400,000 children in England were referred to the NHS for specialist care for issues including suicidal thoughts, eating disorders and self-harm.”
