The population of Big Brother Britain is already the most \u2018watched\u2019 group of people in the world. Visit Britain and you\u2019ll notice CCTV cameras everywhere. Speed trap cameras which wouldn\u2019t be tolerated in USA<\/a> are an accepted part of the landscape, and now the British police are planning to use high altitude, high definition spy drones<\/a>\u2014 to keep an even closer eye on their people. This is in addition to the remote controlled helicopter drones<\/a> they already have in use.(pictured above)<\/p>\n

The Labor Government in Britain\u2013like every left wing government\u2013\u00a0is filled with do-gooders who like nothing better than to make up\u00a0some new law which will usher in their\u00a0Utopia. At the same time, the recent expenses scandal among the same group of politicians has shown them to be about as corrupt and self serving as possible.<\/p>\n

After presiding over a decade in which Britain\u2019s rate of teenaged STDs, teen pregnancy and teen abortion has skyrocketed, these lefty loonies are insisting on yet more sex education for children. Not only that, but they are forcing\u00a0faith schools to provide sex education and parents will not be allowed to have their children opt out. You can read the article here.<\/a>\u00a0Fr Finigan comments on these developments<\/a> with quotes and links to more on this important development.<\/p>\n

The conservatives have put in an amendment that faith schools may provide this sex education within the context of their faith tradition, but go here<\/a> to discover what that means: the government minister gives an example of a Catholic high school which teaches the \u2018Catholic view\u2019 about contraception and abortion, and then brags that the school nurse provides STD tests, contraceptives and information about access to abortion for teens.<\/p>\n

There are several things which are amazingly crazy about these trends. First of all, the British don\u2019t seem to be aware (or if they are aware they don\u2019t mind) that their country is rapidly turning into a police state. The typical comment is, \u201cWell, if you don\u2019t break the law you have nothing to fear.\u201d They actually trust the police that much??!!<\/p>\n

The second thing is about their passion for the panacea of \u201csex education\u201d. It parades itself as happy, healthy and wholesome, when in fact it\u2019s all rather sordid and creepy. Lots of adults talking sex to kiddies all the time?? Yucch.<\/p>\n

Then there is the obvious conclusion that all this sex education simply doesn\u2019t work. Teen pregnancies, teen abortions, teen suicides, teen STDs are out of control in Britain. When is someone going to put two and two together and realize that maybe all this \u2018value free\u2019\u00a0sex education is the cause\u2013not the cure.<\/p>\n

Get teens together. Tell them that it is okay for them to have as much sex as they want with whomever they want and they shouldn\u2019t feel guilty and the only responsibility they have is to practices \u2018safe sex\u2019 and then get an abortion if they need one\u2026Then you\u2019re surprised when you\u2019ve got teen sex problems? Duuh. One British Mom said to me, \u201cMy sixteen year old son can\u2019t even pick up his socks and underwear and put them in the washbasket. After a few drinks, and feeling randy\u00a0he\u2019s supposed to remember to put on a rubber whatsit??\u201d<\/p>\n

I expect what they\u2019ll do next is combine the aggressive policing with their aggressive sex education programs. I can just see it. PC Stalin has a report from his spy drone that a teen party is about to happen at 29a\u00a0Porkrind Road. Suddenly, a band of robust English women in white coats from the PSSST (Police Safe Sex Surveillance Team)\u00a0jump out of unmarked vans to swoop down on a teen party and arrest all those who are not practicisng \u2018safe sex.\u2019 The offenders will be marched off to a \u2018re-training camp\u2019 where they will have to endure Basil Fawlty giving them hygiene lessons.<\/p>\n

UPDATE<\/span>: This article<\/a> reports a drop in Britain\u2019s teen pregnancy rates. What it neglects to tell us is how this drop was achieved. I suspect the drop in teen pregnancies is directly correlated to a rise in teen abortions. However, if someone can correct me I\u2019d be delighted to hear about it.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
