The State now tells businesses how much leave they can have, the minimum wage, pension arrangements, working time and maternity leave, which is acomplete nightmare to work with. Paradoxically, most women do not want it, as they know it means they will lose the job to an older woman whose children have grown up.
Daily Bell: You also said, "I am here to represent Yorkshire women who always have dinner on the table when you get home." Some say you have a problem with women. Do you think so?
Godfrey Bloom: I made the point that homemakers are worthy of our consideration, too. I am the leading sponsor of women's rugby in the country! I have no problem with women (well, the usual ones of any red blooded male!). Nearly all my staff are women. They are marvelous and hard working but raising a family and making a home is enormously important, too. Many feminists simply can't believe that. They are locked into a bra-burning 1970s time warp. Rather sad, really. Painting me as a misogynist spares them from making rational arguments.
Daily Bell: Do you believe equal-rights legislation is in fact putting women out of work?
Godfrey Bloom: I don't 'believe it'; I know it to be so and the statistics prove it.

I compleatly agree, one of the best interveiws I have read in a while, recomend
He is a foolish man.
With which of his premises do you disagree, or only the conclusion?
Both the illegal narcotics industry and the international sex-slave trade result from laws outlawing consensual acts. Do you have a solution for those problems?
You can embrace the Judeo/Christian culture that allowed America to thrive; or, you can invent something else.
Clearly, you insist on something else.
I didn’t actually insist on anything. I’m trying to figure out how to reduce evil. If you use the law to repress some kinds of evil, you get another evil. If you use even more law to repress the second evil, you get a larger government, which results in even more evil.
Perhaps this is a “render unto Caesar” issue, where we should try to deal with the problems of morality by changing people’s hearts rather than by putting them in jail. With the latter solution we just seem to be ending up with bigger jails — not less immoral behavior — until the whole country becomes a prison.
When the judiciary removed God from public places they went against the Constitution. Collapse will follow:
“A society’s first line of defense is not the law but customs, traditions and moral values. These behavioral norms, mostly transmitted by example, word-of-mouth and religious teachings, represent a body of wisdom distilled over the ages through experience and trial and error. They include important thou-shalt-nots such as shalt not murder, shalt not steal, shalt not lie and cheat, but they also include all those courtesies one might call ladylike and gentlemanly conduct.”
“Policemen and laws can never replace these restraints on personal conduct. At best, the police and criminal justice system are the last desperate line of defense for a civilized society. This failure to fully transmit value norms to subsequent generations represents another failing of the greatest generation.”
- Walter E. Williams, Nov. 21, 2007
Exactly.
Consequently, we’re screwed, probably for a few generations.
