People in tents in winter mean a high probability of them ending in hospital, if they will take them.

What is the conservative view of this video ?

The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit. The only method compatible with our notions of civilization and the race is to prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization and the deliberate guidance of the mating instinct, Several European countries and a number of states of the American Union sterilize the criminal and the insane. This is not sufficient. The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny. A century from now it will no more occur to a normal person to mate with a person eugenically unfit than to marry a habitual criminal.

I surely hope that they don't manage to make a total liar out of Daniel Hannan who also lives in England.
I really doubt there are more than a 100 under Vegas if that many. We have pretty good programs and shelters here for the homeless.

Hannan, ah yes it seems his loyalty is to a USA conservative party.
Is he a US citizen yet ? if so time he gave up his UK passport.
Best if HM's subjects are loyal to her only.

Sickening.
Ditto every word you typed. So sad. So maddening. We don't bat an eye at funding the latest and greatest military tech to kill people more efficiently, but scream bloody murder at the thought of helping our own poor people.

It would seem Me. Hannan expresses great enthusiasm to the precepts of Constituional liberty and would like to see the acknowledgement of such Creator given (not from the Crown) liberties in Britain and throughout the EU rather than loyalty to the US where the individual is sovereign, not "the crown".

Liberty is an idea whose time has come.

I'd rather live free in a tent in the USA rather than a subject of the crown in Britain or her protectorates. Of course we settled that back in 1776 didn't we.
