Entered to the Times debate; re...
Mary Ann Sieghart's item, on page 3 of the T2 supplement,
of November 25th 2004.

Sirs...

Mary Ann Sieghart, on page 3 of the T2 supplement of November 25th 2004, endeavours to have us “praise Blunkett’s pursuit of paternity… however Painful”; and in a twaddling apologists argument suggests that “No, children are not best left in ignorance”. Christ! What is the matter with this world? Whatever happened to the proper understanding, born out by the manifold statistics, collected over the years by agencies in every civilised country! Illegitimate children suffer most from the antics of copulating adults who do not give tuppence for their actions. In the case of Blunkett, never mind those to come, he couldn’t care a jot about those already here, i.e. his lovers immediate family. This from the third most powerful politician in the United Kingdom!
What example is this to set before a generation we would raise to act with civility and respect, not merely for one another but for the institution of Marriage (and others too), which generation upon generation have struggled to consolidate and which expert and statistician confirm is the true way to establish a Childs life, from cradle onwards? What example is it from a man regarded as a flag bearer for the disabled? And what example is it from a member of the ruling Government, of its cabinet, an MP whom every citizen has the right to expect honourable and measured behaviour?
Tony Blair, the leader of Blunkett’s party and his Government, our Government, when he arrived into office, publicly heralded his tenure as being the end of sleaze and the downfall of Conservatives, whom he vilified to a disgraceful degree; yet here, where his Secretary of State openly practises deceit and illicit fornication, coveting another fellow human beings wife, Blair is silent beyond credulity. Such are these hypocrites, these low thinking men who lead us; while our brave men fight for our democracy abroad they cover one another’s infidelities, and meanwhile stuff our lives with spin and turmoil!
As well as numbering the days of these evil polemicists ruling us, mocking us, who take our Nation to ruin, we ‘the people’ must be prepared to number the days of them apologists who defend these imposers of political correctness; this loose fittingness, which supports only their third way and does so at the expense of moral decencies now and in futures yet to be born.





William Shakespeare may have put it this way…
A Political Sonnet (4 Blair!)
Let us not in the formation of true Government
Allow adulterers. Politics is not Politics
Which falters when it corruption finds,
Or bends with deceiver to deceive;
O no! It is an ever-great creed
That moves the people and is never broken;
Being the Star to every member who would lead
Whose nation’s worth is more than mere token?
Ideals aren’t times tool, though many are the faces
Who fail or are rent by his hour hand,
Ideals falter but people bring disgraces.
Only those about them let them linger,
As history shows that people are best proved,
Adulterers in practice be for respect removed!
