Shitty article

[edit]

A shitty article - even for a stub. Use of The Sun as a source is plain wrong: secondary sources discussing how The Sun uses the "broken Britain" cliche are what we should be using. Poorly referenced, large chunks of supposition and OR; needs to be gutted and completely revised. Keri (talk) 13:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Also no mention of the roots of the phrase: coined by Iain Duncan Smith's Centre for Social Justice as "breakdown Britain" in December 2006. I will tackle the article but will need to review the available source material first which may take a couple of days of reading. Keri (talk) 13:28, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Food banks

[edit]

What is the relevancy of the final paragraph on food banks? The reader can make the leap that the Conservative Party's economic policies have led to the problems of "broken Britain", but the article doesn't make that link. Right now, it reads like the editor's opinion. The only source listed does not mention the term "broken Britain", so I've removed the paragraph for now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2803:1500:C00:4667:2371:61CB:245D:50F5 (talk) 14:59, 17 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
