Margaret Thatcher hounded Victoria Gillick through the courts in order to establish, without recourse to Parliament, an age of consent of 13 or younger, including for the performance of abortions without parental knowledge or consent.
Still, a parliamentary vote on this latest business with the morning after pill? Who is going to propose that?
"Who is going to propose that?"
ReplyDeleteNobody.
Which, among many reasons, is why I, like Peter Hitchens (and 40% of the electorate) no longer vote for any of them.
Nigel Farage under fire from Nick Clegg for being the first party leader to side with Russia against what he rightly called the EU's "expansionist imperialist" policy in Ukraine.
ReplyDeleteFarage rightly said the EU has " blood on its hands" for stoking riots in Ukraine and " poking the Russian Bear with a stick".
UKIP isn't just the only party for eurosceptics.
It's clearly the only party for paleocons.
UKIP wants to legalise drugs, and to abolish the legal recognition of church weddings.
ReplyDeleteNo, Farage does. He admits UKIP doesn't. And, really, so what? Labour abolished all Catholic adoption agencies-every single one-when it was last in power. And 217 of its MP's-and Miliband- recently voted to abolish marriage as we have always known it.
ReplyDeleteBut UKIP is right on enough of the main issues-it is absolutely right on withdrawing from the EU, it is right on immigration, it is right on punishing criminals and it is right on grammar schools as preferable to selection by estate agent.
That's already an awful lot better than any of the other lot.
Farage is UKIP, and UKIP is Farage.
