Just an old problem?
• FURTHER to my letter in the Tribune of December 5, I would like to add the following, if I may:Persistently low birthrates (such as we have seen in Britain ever since the 1970s) have serious social, political and economic consequences for any nation. These are now beginning to manifest themselves.
Fewer and fewer young people are available to join the workforce, power the economy and contribute to pension schemes. Meanwhile, the elderly are living well beyond their three score years and ten.
The social security system is not sustainable in the current situation – in time it will inevitably collapse.
The government can see this as well as I can.
As I said in a previously published letter, the government purports to take a neutral stance with regard to pro-life issues.
However, they do have their “useful idiots” spreading the propaganda, suggesting that the elderly have a “duty to die” rather than be a “burden on society”.
Social engineering, you see, is always preceded by verbal engineering.
So, if a “mercy killing” storyline has not yet featured in EastEnders or Coronation Street, the thought police will ensure that it soon does. This is all part of their softening-up process, to get the masses accustomed to the idea.
No apologies as I return once again to the 1967 Abortion Act, which opened up the anti-life Pandora's box. In those days, who would have believed we would ever see experiments on human embryos, or animal-human hybrids created in the name of progress? As for David Steel, the architect of that heinous Act, he ought to be stripped of his peerage and instead given the “Man Who Buggered-up Britain” award.
RIP, Baby P.
