Despite a rather shiny liberal veneer, I do have a deeply conservative heart.
I genuinely believe that the best possible upbringing for a child results from having two adults living in the same home. Ideally one male and one female. Preferably the child's biologicial parents or their replacement (guardian, adoptive parents of foster carers) simply to omit two-household complications.
A bad person as a parent is by no means preferable to only one of course.
Then again, I believe 13 year old girls should get 3 year contraceptive implants (it's illegal to have sex before 16 anyway).
And that if children can't be taught to make a joyful noise then they are better off seen and not heard.
Oh and that once someone reaches a weight which tips them over the line into obesity, they should be sent to some sort of Fat Camp. Or at least have the option of it. Obesity is a killer, and people slip into it, burger by burger. Or pint by pint in my case.
I believe that public trasnport and emergency services should have the right to shunt illegally parked cars out of the way.
And that children truanting on a regular basis should be put to use cleaning the streets and parks - they might have something to say to litterers after a while. With the option to go back to school the minute they request it of course - it will teach them that school isn't hard work compared to real life.
I blame my reactionary views on my parents of course
