Judith Woods in the Telegraph gives an excellent run down of the Patten scandal and when anyone with moral sense reads it, the reasons for the affair jump right out:
..Alfie’s dad, Dennis – father of nine, or possibly 10 children by various mothers – wearing a bizarre devil mask…
…Neighbours of “the couple” in Eastbourne report that children barely into their teens routinely have sex behind the hedges in gardens…
…Chantelle and Alfie shared a room, with her parents’ blessing, when he stayed at her house…
…Chantelle, one of five children, whose parents are both unemployed, says she was on the pill, but had forgotten to take it…
…Britain has the highest underage pregnancy rate in western Europe, despite channelling substantial resources into sex education for children as young as five…
Sex education for five year old children; parents unemployed but able to wallow indefinitely on the public dime; unmarried dad who has managed to convince many women to have sex with him; different sex children able to sleep in the same room together…this is what happens when you have this sort of situation. All that Master Alfie did was what we told him to do – he’s not at fault, and anyone who complains about his role in this affair is directing ire in entirely the wrong direction.
And this is liberalism – no judgments of a moral character, valueless education, welfare dependency. And this is just what stodgy, boring old Christians said would happen if we allowed morality to fade, failed to impart morals into children and created a welfare State. There is another bit in the article which must be noted:
While nobody would wish to return to the days when gymslip mothers were stigmatised…
Oh, yes we bloody well do – or, at least, we’d better wish to return to such days, and this time also do a much better job of stigmatising the boys who father such children out of wedlock, too (though don’t buy revisionist history which holds that such boys got off scott free). We can’t police every action people do – and this means that, ultimately, only public shaming will keep such gross immorality under control. People get what they want – what we wanted was a disgusting, nauseating society which has 13 year old boys having sex, and that is what we got. If we want to have a society which doesn’t have situations like this – and I’m talking the whole situation, not just the 13 year old father – then we have to ask for it.
And asking for it means starting to act like men and women and insisting upon decent behavior as the price for being permitted in society.
