Decision forced on poor

-

ALL Conservati­ves favour privilege in the class system, and Britain has always shown this huge contrast of the lives of rich and poor, deliberate Tory policy.

Tories are citizens with no ethical understand­ing of human life, so their thinking cannot rise above money, and who should possess it.

But hard-right Conservati­ves have ‘libertaria­n policies’, which go much further, best explained by the word ‘dependency’.

Their view of poor British citizens is that it is a mistake for the State to support them above a level of starvation, because the poor are feckless, breeding like rabbits to beget children whom they cannot afford to feed.

It is essential not to feed these children adequately, since that would encourage the parents to beget more. This is the only method to avoid the parents being ‘Trapped into lifelong dependency on the State’. (The hypocrisy is monumental... ‘We are only doing it for their own good.’)

History shows the facts, Margaret Thatcher, the ‘School Milk Snatcher’, Theresa May withholdin­g benefit from any third child. Jacob Rees-Mogg can afford to beget six children, while we force this decision on the poor, at the expense of their children’s health and future.

Rarely do the Libertaria­ns expound their core belief, which brings contempt from any person of ethical principles, and a degree of embarrassm­ent from Tory voters, who claim that they like children, but in a different way. C N Westerman by email
