MISSING MORALITY

TAP was asked to contribute to the "Fabian Society Poverty and social security: where next? series" . It was published on the 15th February and calls for "National policy for social security must be rebuilt on moral foundations. Peace is not only the absence of conflict, it is the presence of health and well being for all."
