That is the problem. There is anecdotal feedback. I am getting too much of it for this not to be happening. If it is happening, then it is a major problem. What kind of message is that sending out? It is now on the verges or extremes but when does it become the norm? I do not want to be having a conversation here in five years time – if I am here – such as the one we are having a conversation today about car insurance. That started happening five years ago in 2013. The effect of that on children will be detrimental.
