Incredible how far the Tories have moved from liberalism. What happened to people deciding to have kids or not for themselves, not 'for Britain'. And that they are drawn to this because producing local babies is superior to immigration, for reasons.

It’s a descent into National Socialism. They are not hiding it. Racial purity and breeding programs coming soon.

I grew four and then they took away my child benefit. They need to make their mind up.

Yes, that whole 'social liberal, economic liberal' thing seems a long way away.

I remember from a history class a Nazi children's textbook, ostensibly for maths, showing that Aryan couples had say 1.6 children on average versus immigrants who had an average higher than 2 and asking them to work out would happen next. Chilling.

Add to this the climate angle. Oceans are over-heated, and seem to be warming at an alarming rate, causing ever more extreme rainfall leading to more extreme flooding, including in Britain, and the increased emissions of having more kids will only exacerbate this.
