A BBC programme entitled 'Death of Respect', in which Coleridge J has a part, is being shown tonight at 11.20pm on BBC 2.
The programme, which is about the state of family life in this country, could be well worth watching. It is very unusual for a High Court judge to take part in such a programme.
Is Britain broken, breaking or just fragmenting a bit round the edges?
John Ware asks what has happened to British values and behaviour over the last 50 years. As Britons, we lead Europe in everything from brand awareness and rates of obesity to public drunkenness, drug use, sexually transmitted infections and family breakdown. We also intervene less in acts of public nuisance while mutual mistrust between adults and children is growing. How ever did we get to where we are today? And how do we find our way again?
