The idea of paying drug addicted mothers to undergo sterilisation is really quite repulsive. There really are better ways to approach this. Northern Doctor sums it up. (HT cubik’s rube)

is it just me, or was that not official govt policy in the 80s?
Sounds about right, but I’m too young to have been interested in family planning policy in the 80s!
EUGENICS.
too many people around who don’t remember the 80s – this would explain the number of people not too ashamed to vote tory.
Isn’t it traditionally the Tories who blame da yoof for everything? 😉
I’m not too young to remember the 80s completely – I grew up in them. And you’re right, being brought up on Thatcher, Top Gun and Swap Shop* leaves you with a certain perspective on Conservatism that youngsters probably don’t have.
indeed! you are the only one to understand the catastrophic impact on working class communities all over britain of swap shop.
and they have brought it back with basil brush … wrong, wrong, wrong!
OMG – now that IS a coalition made in HELL.
