What ho, chaps!
At last, a bit of Tory plain-speaking. I was worried that the entire lot of them had turned into insipid, wishy washy call-me-Daves. Step forward our hero du jour, Mr Howard Flight:
“We're going to have a system where the middle classes are discouraged from breeding because it's jolly expensive. But for those on benefits, there is every incentive. Well, that's not very sensible".
Quite right, old bean! "Not very sensible"! Mr Flight's remarks are a classic example of a political gaffe: that is, to tell an uncomfortable and embarrassing truth.
Personally, I don't object to the lower orders breeding. What I object to is the current politically correct system which precludes a shire nobleman from rounding them up and putting them to some honest toil in the fields or in the kitchens. I also object to a system which prevents the government of the day from breeding prole children specifically for the purposes of expanding the Empire. If the urchins of Stoke-on-Trent and Burnley were to be trained from, say, the age of 12 to re-take Rhodesia and Kenya and Cape Colony, then I doubt that even Mr Flight would object.
Let's hope these remarks inspire the government to put our proles to better use. Sitting around in their grotty council flats, eating sausages and drinking cider and masturbating like monkeys is no good for anyone, least of all themselves.
Yours, etc
Viscount Crouchback
