Turning the Clock Back.

Some Tory politician who’s just been promoted to the peerage came out with an enlightening comment today. He said that he disagreed with proposed changes to the Child Benefit rules because they might ‘encourage the poor to breed.’ It seems that good old Tory attitudes are making their way back into mainstream politics. I wonder how long it will be before we invade Ireland again, and Sydney harbour witnesses the arrival of a fleet of latter day convict ships.
