Against the tide
Some parts of the current British gov't are trying hard to restore sanity. I noted earlier some efforts by the education ministry to bring back discipline in schools. Now a bureaucrat in the welfare area is breaking loose from the standard egalitarian model. Louise Casey has stated openly that PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT:
Best of luck, Casey. You've got all the forces of status, "morality", church, school and media lined up against you.
A similar effort in America ... well, it wouldn't happen at all ... but imagining for the sake of argument that an American bureaucrat said the same things ... would be killed off instantly. Everyone knows who those "different, abusive men" are. Al Sharpton, Emperor Of The Universe, would instantly kill the bureaucrat and remove the president who appointed her. ¶ 2:49 AM
Louise Casey, the head of the Government’s troubled families unit, says the state should “interfere” and tell women it is irresponsible to keep having children when they are already struggling to cope.
Miss Casey warns that the state must start telling mothers with large families to take “responsibility” and stop getting pregnant, often with different, abusive men.
Miss Casey also believes that there needs to be a shift throughout society in attitudes over behaviour. “I think we should be better at talking about things like shame and guilt. And not being afraid to call a criminal a criminal.”
Best of luck, Casey. You've got all the forces of status, "morality", church, school and media lined up against you.
