“Now those politicians would be torn to pieces in seconds, with the Useless Tories among those doing the denouncing, accusing them of being unkind to unmarried mothers, of whom it is now compulsory to say – if you don’t wish to be excluded from civilised society – that ‘most of them do a good job in very difficult circumstances.'”
