MY EXPERIENCE of having lived in Welling, Belvedere, Chatham and Dartford has led me to discover a very worrying trend.

A large minority of our young people are out of control, having no conception of right or wrong and common decency.

While I do not presume to know all the reasons why, nor do I know how to put this right, I do think rampant, unfettered materialism has something to do with it.

This minority of our young people, with no regard for their fellow man, cannot bode well for the future of society.
