Views Are Heard

Rebecca Long-Bailey has already sold out the ancient indigenous Christians of the Holy Land. But since the matter of her position on abortion has come up, it was Margaret Thatcher who legalised abortion up to birth. Opposed by John Smith and by many other Labour MPs. 

I have been active in pro-life for nearly 30 years, and the only name that is even more abominated than that of Thatcher is that of Tony Blair. Smith was totally opposed to abortion, and that used to be quite common in the Labour Party. Certainly, it did not stop him from becoming Leader.

Smith, Tony Blair and Gordon Brown were also totally opposed to assisted suicide, as Long-Bailey is. Indeed, it is interesting that all Prime Ministers since assisted suicide first became much of an issue, a very mixed bag in every way, have been totally opposed to it. 

Good luck to the Labour Party if it is trying to rebuild the Red Wall with anti-Catholicism. Have you ever been to Consett? But do not put much hope in those who have planted their blue flags on that Wall.

You are allowed to be Jacob Rees-Mogg if you are, well, Jacob Rees-Mogg, the Ann Widdecombe of the present generation, socially conservative as part of being wildly eccentric in general. But Rees-Mogg is never going to be Prime Minister. And he could not now be selected as a Conservative parliamentary candidate if he were not already a sitting MP.

The people who have recently taken seats from Labour are not remotely like Rees-Mogg, and the present Leader of the Conservative Party, although himself a highly contrived eccentric, is known to have caused at least one abortion.

The rising generation of Conservative MPs agrees with David Cameron that the introduction of same-sex marriage was their party's greatest achievement, something that all Labour people say about the National Health Service. It is axiomatically as sacred to them as the NHS is to Labour.

But then, both the Blair and the Brown Governments did repeatedly and explicitly rule it out from the Despatch Boxes of both Houses. Still in Parliament at the time, Brown never voted for it. Not once. With a record like that, he could not be selected as a first time parliamentary candidate for any party today.

It is also since the last Labour Government left office, rather a long time ago now, that abortion has been imposed on Northern Ireland, and that anyone has ever heard of "gender self-identification", the opposition to which has come from the more-or-less Marxist wing of Baby Boomer radical feminism, often bitterly disappointed initial supporters, and even old friends, of Jeremy Corbyn. It is has certainly not come from anyone in the Conservative Party.

I have had plenty of rows with the more-or-less Marxist wing of Baby Boomer radical feminism (I am having one now, in fact), but give it its due on this. And I will be standing for Parliament again here at North West Durham next time, so please give generously. In any event, please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
