Too stupid...

Saw this woman interviewed on 5 news last night . Doesn't appear to be the sharpest tool in the box but I think it's an absolute disgrace .

Having just read a book about eugenics I find this particularly frightening . What gives people the right to make judgments like this ?

jno:

"the council is trying to protect her"

Mmmmhhhh, like Haringey Social Services "protected" Baby Peter? Oh, no, sorry, he was "protected" in a different way, I forgot.

Look, as it also says in the attached link, the arrogant sods of Social Workers wouldn't even accede to the child being looked after with the help of, quote "concerned family members."

Exactly the actions of authoritarian, dictatorial and domineering Fascists, hence my accurate comparison between them and the Nazis.

Hilly:

Yes, terrifying isn't it? I believe that the majority of those 60,000 Americans who were sterilised were non-white? I remember seeing a programme about it several or so years ago.

To me, this is only one step beyond what's happening to people like this wretched woman in your original link who, because she may have so called "learning difficulties", is considered some sort of risk to her children by zealots whose idealism overrides any sort of common sense whatsoever.

They were .as you say 'non white' but it really started with 'hillbillys' for want of a better word .We're on a very slippery slope I'm afraid
