    Sensible, given some of the absolute lunatics out there.

    Wasn’t there someone sending threats to Johnny Mercer’s 3 year-old? I mean, what the fuck?

    Good. The whole family angle is traditionalist, nationalist, fascist tripe and should be gotten rid of. “Oh, you’re a childless woman, therefore you’re not qualified.” Gtfo here. What’s that got do with governing? I’m voting for you, not your snot nosed brat.

    And while we’re at it, yankie politicians, keep Jesus’s name out your mouth when giving your schpiel. How dare you blaspheme so? Praying in public even? Vanity is a deadly sin. Go back to your room, pray in solice and ask for forgiveness over your transgressions, you filthy sinner. Putting His name into your program? Why, maybe you need a bit of self-flagilation to learn some humility.

      Gonna guess the Torygraph ITV asked him in interview to give his childrens’ names and about the lack of photoshoots including them, and that this was his reply.

      He’ll hardly have rung them up specially to announce this
