News here in Leicestershire (where I'm preparing a critical thinking workshop) describes how the USA is helping out the locals with some cuts that President Obama definitely didn't have in mind during yesterday's telephone conversation with our Prime Minister.
Claiming that it's part of a programme to prevent children being born into dysfunctional families or with addictions, an American charity called Project Prevention has "bribed" a 38-year-old drug addict to have a vasectomy. Now I don't particularly object to the trans-atlantic acquisition of our football clubs, the dictation of our foreign policy or the subjugation of our youth culture with their own, but getting involved with which Britons should (or shouldn't) give birth?
That's surely something we're capable of doing all on our own!
