Moonbat - let them starve

I've only just noticed the inimitable Peter Briffa's take on a bizarre column by George Moonbat.

"If you are of a sensitive disposition, I advise you to turn the page now. I am about to break the last of the universal taboos".
OHMYGOD. Don't tell me you're a nonce, George. Not on Comment is Free. This is a step too far even for those halfwits.

"I hope that the recession now being forecast by some economists materialises".
Ah, that's a bit better. Somewhat surprisingly, I find myself share Georgie's hopes. For too long the workers have been doing well for themselves, getting jobs, some even keeping them, breeding, and generally using up all the trees and emitting all that horrid carbon dioxide. Well, bollocks to that, I say. Let them starve. It's for their children's future.
