The Return of Morality, Indeed

This has them vexed, complete with demands for Tom Harris to be expelled from the Labour Party.

But massively increased benefit dependency and general moral chaos go back to which decade, do you think?

I'm sorry, but I really cannot see how "Labour MP Condemns Thatcherism" is any sort of story.

    has a few recommendations about what to do about single mummery and invites your comment.

    (a) deprive a single mother of child benefit if she cannot produce a marriage certificate
    (b) fine the single mother for producing an illegitimate baby, say £1000, if she does not name the father
    (c) require her parent(s) to pay this sum if she cannot or will not
    (d) fine the father of an illegitimate child a sum of money, say £1000
    (e) require the parent(s) of that father to pay this sum if he cannot pay it himself
    (f) require that the mother give up the child for adoption before more lives are ruined

  2. The Tories used the figure of the single mother as a hook on which to hang other, unrelated problems - now we have New Labour, fresh from bailing out the banks, seeking to dump on young mothers? Not quite, but that's what I expected, given media reportage of the post: I wonder why?

  3. I leave it to others to comment on those, Andromeda.
