The title of the thread maybe wrong.. but the content is accurate as far as the BBC and even the Mail..

Re: 54% of teenage girls have a child before 18.... According to the Tories
With the media extolling the virtues of trollops like Jordan/Katie Price, it doesn't surprise me at all to believe we are living in a slut-driven society that has lense of morality than the everage alley-cat.

Tsk! such strong words, "slut-Driven"? However I really must protest that you should sully The good name of the illustrious antipodean Dame Edna Everage, in this fashion!

I'd say it is the outlook of our society the Tories and the media want us to believe.. the Tories are not talking about immigrants anymore .. they have shifted to their good old basics of bashing the majority of British people... bash any parents under 18yrs old even though they may be married or in a stable working relationship .. bash the most populated areas in the country.. the cuts they talk about will be in these areas.. no cuts in the leafy suburbs of any stockbrocker belts.

Last sentence should have read: less sense of morality than the average alley-cat! My indignant female feline chanced to walk across my keyboard as I was typing, hence the grammatical errors. The look she gave me assured me that perhaps she disagreed with my point of view!

Re: 54% of teenage girls have a child before 18.... According to the Tories
to be honest this thread ain't kick up the fuss I hoped it would do.. perhaps if I'd just posted the normal Accy thread of slagging off young people.. or slagged off immigarnts, Chavs.. bad parking by Asians.. Gypsies and crime waves..we would have got the usuall response of slash burn and hang.. but when anyone dares to take a pop at the Tories you are on dry land here!

.. it's laughable but worrying to know that the so called well educated Eton tory hierachy actually believed the figure was 54%.. these idiots want to run the economy, I hope they brush up on thier maths before they start making the massive cuts.. scary!

We could always blame an education system, that allows such sloppy mathematics to flourish. Unless nearly thirteen years of being governed by the same party, and who therefore are ultimately responsible for today's education, doesn't fit your political agenda.

Try being more bigoted.
That's one sure way the majority of members on here come harmoniously together, to give a good ol' virtual kicking.

Couldn't you pretend that the offending figure was quoted by an Asian Tory politician? You'd probably get more of a response that way. "Coming over here, making up phoney statistics, who the hell do they think they are? They'll be making us all do calculations in urdu next..." etc etc etc.
