New Labour policies: Gulags for slags.

Brown is trying to get the popular vote and failing:

So, I suggest that there be no council flats and no welfare benefits available to unmarried mothers under the age of 21. Instead they will be placed in ‘mother and baby homes’. Here they will receive academic education as well as parenting classes, plus courses covering all aspects of their social development. The homes will be run by ‘matron’ type figures. The homes should not be ‘institution’ like, but at the same time there will be rules which must be adhered to; such as a curfew of approx 9pm, a dress code which states skirts must come to at least the knees and no cleavage to be on show. Failure to comply with the homes’ rules will result in  the mother being sent to prison, and the baby being taken in to care.

Bejesus the old one eye'd hoon just doesn't get it. He starts off good enough saying that women who pop out babies with no income should not automatically assume the state will pick the tab up for benefits and a council property, fair enough. Then he screws it up.

Placed in mother and baby homes, what like the women who were shut away in Irish institutions run by nuns for decades at a time Mr Brown? Gosh how very forward looking of you. Will there not be other relatives that can look after the babies rather than the gulag hand of the state dragging them off to be "cared for" by the state.

How amusing that Gordon who makes much of his religious upbringing has so much in common with the Catholic church during the 50's and 60's that said single mothers were moral degenerates who could not be allowed to keep their children.

Also just one minor point, we have had sex education for years. Seriously every kid out there knows their condoms and about STD's etc, so what is the point in further education when that has already failed and a baby has been produced? Stable doors and bolted horses.

The belief that there are still women out there who need educating as to the "facts of life" is a myth, the problem is Mr Brown the vast amounts you have doled out to the very people you now seek to denounce.

As for the homes being run by ‘matron’ type figures, well again the image of Irish style mother superior's threatening young girls with damnation if ever they have another shag after 15 babyshams on a Friday night leaps to mind.

Then we have doublespeak when he says "The homes should not be ‘institution’ like", er Gordon you are placing them in what you term ‘mother and baby homes’; by every definition that is an institution you utter fool.

Then he contradicts himself further by pointing out that that they are in fact ‘institution’ like, "a dress code which states skirts must come to at least the knees and no cleavage to be on show.". Well you can tell that old Scot's puritanism is still alive an well. Again I shall get back to stable doors and bolted horses with regards that, seriously has Gordon gone mad?

Why not just send them off to the colonies to work on plantation fields as the puritans did to sinners in Cromwell's day did Gordon? I am sure there are a few votes in that.

Then as if he proves that these mother and baby homes’ are in fact state run gulags, he comments "Failure to comply with the homes’ rules will result in  the mother being sent to prison, and the baby being taken in to care." Er, you what? You rip a woman from her home, then say that if she doesn't jump through the correct fucking hoops she is off to prison, ye God's Gordon you really are an utter arsewipe.

So he will break the bond between mother and child, stick the child into a state run institution and very possibly lead to huge amounts of long term damage in that childs development. Whilst mother is stuck in Holloway for a stretch for breaking some moral puritan code as laid down by the state.

So follow the rules or the state will grab you an your kids, stick you in home where should you cause any trouble you will be jailed.

Now one point I thought of was what happens if say the baby is the product of rape? Is Gordon planning on saying to a woman who has suffered that, sorry about what happened an yes you have the right to keep your baby but we as a state will lock you away on the pretext of you being a dole scrounger.

Also what about the fathers in all this, you know the sperm donating half that impregnated these young ladies; yes I know you use a turkey baster but are you planning the old sexist routine of blaming the "fallen woman" for all of mankind's sins? Not a mention of doing anything to them, maybe Gordon has a compulsory castration policy for feckless young men he will soon be announcing?

Can you imagine the outrage from the very Labour party members who no doubt sat there and clapped this utter shyte had it come from the Tories or even the BNP.

Maybe he will suggest that they do a days work whilst in these NuLabour gulags, maybe a spot of laundry work?

1984 anyone?
