I will preface this post by saying that I cannot vouch for the veracity of the story.
Just read a story, via Dkos, by Tony Parsons in the Mirror. This story concerns a Tory councillor and deputy mayor Owen Lister. It seems Mr. Lister has claimed that children who are severely handicapped should be done away with, so as to save the government money and move others who may be better candidates for health improvement up the ladder for treatment. We know these wretched souls have aways been around, William Bennet comes to mind, but, we must make sure that they are challenged each and every time they let this kind of filth cross their lips. These two high profile people were challenged. We must make sure to challenge the variations at every level wherever and whenever we come across it. By our silence we give tacit approval.
