“Children of single mothers are ill raised, aggressive and ignorant” Watch
Announcements
According to our lovely PM Boris Johnson
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.i...036.html%3famp
Quote from the article:
“In a column written for The Spectator, the Tory leader said it was “outrageous that married couples should pay for ‘the single mothers’ desire to procreate independently of men. And he suggested it was “feeble” for a man to be unable or unwilling to “take control of his woman”, arguing Britain needed to “restore women’s desire to be married”.

Well, he is a racist, sexist brat. So I'm not at all surprised that he came out with more rubbish, since that seems to be all that he can do.

The slight detail your all ignoring is that this was written in 1995. He has not said anything similar to my knowledge recently.
10-15 years ago I held several homophobic and racist views whereas by about 2012 I was pretty liberal. People's opinions change somewhat.
Boris has many flaws but I don't believe his 24 year old views on single mothers should be one of them.
Though he is correct that the damage done to the nuclear family has been dreadful for society and should be encouraged.

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...

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?

If there is one thing that can boost your popularity it is to appeal to people's ignorant prejudices by vilifying the perceived unworthy poor.

“The colossal expansion in the numbers of female graduates is in many ways a marvellous thing; but it has boosted the well-documented process of assortative mating, by which middle-class graduates marry middle-class graduates and thereby entrench their economic advantages, pooling their graduate incomes to push up house prices and increase the barriers to entry for the rest. The result is that in families on lower incomes the women have absolutely no choice but to work, often with adverse consequences for family life and society as a whole — in that unloved and undisciplined children are more likely to become hoodies, NEETS, and mug you on the street corner.”
In this he also seemed to blame women for rising house prices

Sadly, I imagine many Tory voters agree and this will only go towards consolidating his position.

He seemed to still hold the same view by 2007 at least and has yet to make any statement to rectify what he has said

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.
