Wise Tory politicians? Surely not! (Ahem!)
Captain Sensible writes: Boris Johnson MP has never been afraid of controversy. But he really is taking a risk with some of his latest comments about...wait for it..."the lack of marriageable men" in our society! (And if he thinks the situation is bad in our society, I dread to think what he would have to say about the Christian community! Maybe if he succeeds in becoming Mayor of London, he will get the opportunity to find out!).
Here are a few quotes from his recent comments: (But Christian women, don't despair! There are still a lot of marriage-minded believers out there in the world that would love to find a woman like you!)
"The other day, I was giving a lift to a group of 14-year-old girls and, as we waited at the traffic lights, I became dimly aware of something remarkable about their conversation. They were all bright sparks, in the process of being coached up by their schools to become captains of industry, Members of Parliament and all the rest of it. But as I inclined my ear, I realised that they weren't discussing their dotcoms; they weren't preparing for the time when they would be joining each other on the pages of Fortune magazine or Business Week. No, they were discussing marriage. They were planning their wedding days, down to the last sugared almond and the exact cut of their dresses."
"For a moment, I toyed with proposing some kind of marriage seekers' allowance, to give succour and encouragement to those girls who were finding it hard to find any man at all...maybe their plight and their effort should be recognised by the state."
"The single most important thing we can do to encourage marriage is to increase the supply of marriageable men."
"We won't begin to reverse the decline in marriage unless we address the crisis in masculinity."
