“Children of single mothers are ill raised, aggressive and ignorant”

Yes they are,having a single parent is very bad for children

In politics accurancy counts for nothing as Trump has shown to great effect. Corbyn is promising to solve everything but will not get in because he is unconvincing. Boris could promise to make us all millionaires and some people would believe him.

It was a normal historical view to be fair. Attlee's view of unmarried mothers was that they were feckless and in modern parlance essentially sluts. They were actually essentially excluded from the benefits system.

The thing that'll really piss you off though is that the bold bit is right.

Kids from single parent households do tend to, on average, be more likely to become that type of kid.

Do all? Of course not.
But is it a politically accurate statement? Accurate enough that numbers will back him up.

Because normal people appreciate that just because you said something once 25 years ago that it didn't necessarily mean you still believe that same thing years later?

25 years ago I said that all I ever wanted to do was eat jelly and become a fireman. Guess what? I eat other foods now and I'm not in the fire service...

Lock him up.

i love how people have this attitude towards Boris Johnson (despite saying bigoted things recently/frequently) but attack Corbyn for things he said/did decades ago

And yet, the same people who say "oh, don't have a go at Corbyn for the things he did ages ago" are digging things up on other politicians...

You can't have it both ways.

I personally don't care either way; I think they're both idiots. But they're both guilty of hypocrisy.

just cos some dig up on Johnson doesn’t mean the majority do. there’s enough ammunition from the last decade on him. it’s not the same when almost the entirety of the press do that to Corbyn.

What for?

For such vicious attacks on women esp single mothers who are working hard to make ends meet. He made such crass statements about a topic he probably did not understand.

Single mothers don’t always have the kid out of wedlock they often become single through divorce etc....

Lock him up.

Being crass is hardly a reason to 'lock someone up'.

What law does that break?

That's actually a fair view when put like that although I would add that the states enforcement of progressive liberalism combined with the legal culture has also substantially weakened discipline and resulted in 'violent youths'.
