The Underclass.

Bishop Michael Nazir-Ali has warned that the latest revelation of the scale of Britain's "underclass" -  half a million problem families -  is "only the tip of an iceberg which is lurking to shipwreck society".
He was commenting on an interview given to the Sunday Times by Louise Casey, the troubleshooter engaged by David Cameron in 2011 to turn round a problem then estimated at 120,000 failing families, following the urban summer riots. 

Casey, Director General of Troubled Families, now calculates that the problem is four times greater with dysfunctional families blighting neighbourhoods and costing the taxpayer more than £30bn a year.
Bishop Michael says, "The impact of family failure is greater than Louise Casey estimates and it is increasing exponentially with the subliminal cost of associated social ills such as treating depression, anxiety, other related illnesses, disruption at school and in the workplace - all adding to the bill for dealing with the more conspicuous law and order costs."
