Two hundred and twenty thousand abortions annually do not assist this country's birth rate.

Prof Dutton advises that in 2018 almost 90% of the population of England would not have existed in 1700 due to poor immune systems and mutant genes.

I am going to say some harsh things now, apologies. Who would care for these unwanted children? For that is what they are. If contraception had worked then abortion would not have been needed. If unmarried sex had not taken place then many of the abortions would not have been needed. How many foetuses were profoundly disabled? It is never an easy decision. We need to improve the conditions where it is easier to want children.

Young people are having kids, it’s just that half of them are being killed before birth.

Trying to be optimistic for a bit, at least over Christmas. We have three more years of Labour testing progressive theories to destruction. The economy stutters. Unemployment increases. Infrastructure buckles. A major terrorist incident. There is a major shift to the right at the next election. Refom have some good policies and can blame their predecessors for the economic mess they inherit. Civic nationalism and Christianity just about hold the social glue together. The BBC is disestablished. The education curriculum is revised and the universities forced to go private (apart from polytechnics).

Indeed much could change when the public wake up from their slumber and start to DEMAND of government more power and a far greater say in how they are governed. When this happens they would do well to gather around these six demands that aim to improve our democracy turning our politicians into our servants instead of being our masters.

I had to fire up my VPN to read this even though a debit card is registered on my account.

That opening few minutes of Idiocracy is hilarious - didn't realise Mike Judge had made a feature film that had nothing to do with his favourite creations.

Honestly I think we're too far gone for all sorts of reasons. Sorry for sounding gloomy but this often has a 'bald blokes fighting over a comb' feel to it...
