Tory Councillor On Shannon Matthews And Sterilising People On Benefits
TORY councillor John Ward has been musing on his blog about Shannon Matthews and social engineering.
Mr Ward, a 58-year- old bachelor, wrote:
“This is yet another example of ‘Breakdown Britain’… “Children become just a means toward that end, and are of themselves of little if any further significance in this new society.
“I think there is an increasingly strong case for compulsory sterilisation of all those who have had a second (or third, or whatever) child while living off state handouts…
“With over-population being the root cause of so much that negatively impacts Planet Earth, the very last thing the world needs is to encourage excessive breeding.”
Mr Ward has backtracked a little. He says: “I’m half-blind and missed out a word, I should have written ‘consideration’. I’m sorry if it has caused any problems.”
And in any case, as the Mail notes, the whole idea was to get people to think about issues.
Mr Ward is not voicing an opinion, rather joining the debate. He may be saying something unpalatable, but his rhetoric owes more to New Labour than the Nazis.
Oh, yes, the Nazis.
Says Labour councillor Bill Esterson: “It’s the sort of thing Nazis did in Germany.”
Medway Liberal Democrat leader Geoff Juby chimes: “He is on a different planet. He should move to China where they have a one-child policy.”
Nazis. And socialists. They’re all for it.
The Mirror invites Cabinet minister Hazel Blears to cry: “This is the same old nasty Tory party again. “It makes a mockery of David Cameron’s claims to have changed them. Mr Cameron must sack this man immediately.”
If Mr Ward is forced out of the Tory Party, he could always find a home among the Al Goreans, where humanity is the scourge of the planet and only scum dares to breed…
