I have spent a huge amount of time at the monster in laws over the past few weeks, and nearly every morning she watches The Jeremy Kyle Show. For my friends over the pond, this is along the lines of Jerry Springer, or the female chat show host with the red hair and redder spectacles, whose name escapes me.
Almost every episode has been a "Who is the father of the baby?" programme, and a typical installment consists of a dna test being done on three chavs and a baby, and none of them turning out to be the father anyway.
How tragic are these stories? Spotty schoolgirls who think it is highly hysterical to air their dirty linen on tv. Think it is amusing that they have had unprotected sex with numerous different men, over a short space of time. They seem to have no feelings or thought for their babies (how dreadful for these children to be watching the video in years to come of their fathers swearing and refusing paternity).
There must be something we can do about this alarming and depressing culture. I don't mean the tv programme (although it seems to promote the "hilarity" of the situation) but the whole situation itself.
My personal, highly contraversial and unpopular solutions, would be to refuse these mothers council houses, refuse them their £500 starter kit maternity benefit, and make them do menial jobs whilst their children are in creches.
I have loads more ideas, but would hate be thought of as a facist.

Clanks,
The woman with red glasses is sally Jessy raphael, who thankfully no longer has a talk show over here.
The king of "Who's My Baby Daddy" over here is a goony guy named Maury Povich who is married to former newswoman Connie Chung. Maury got his penis caught in a zipper awhile back when one of his assistants on his show charged him with sexual harrassment. Seems he's had several affairs with other staffers. The guy should be a guest on Jerry Springer!
I can;twatch jeremy Kyle it actually makes me angry , it even makes me angry when people talk about watching it in chat rooms. We are perpetuating this downward spiral by glorifying the lowest common denominator in every walk of life , no ones a failure they are merely winningly challenged , no one makes a mistake no one takes responsibilty for their actions and the govt encourages everyone to be relient on the state from telling them how many bits of fruit to eat a day to who is allowed to fly without leaving a carbobn fucking footprint .BRING BACK MAGGIE
The older I get, the fewer problems I have with fascism.
Oh good grief! Is it because I have hit 40 that I have become this "Grumpy Old Woman"?
I have become more intolerant over the last few years. And I am the "Most intolerant person I know" apparantly

Hell, I'll make anyone look conservative, and I agree with every word, Clank.
