Britain's youngest mother

That picture of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes is my new favourite thing on the internet.

Former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith described the astonishing case as a 'tragic example' of the nation's social decline.

Because this kind of thing has never happened before obviously.

On the same Daily Mail page a link to this article, the tone of which I'm sure you can guess...

GPs to get bonuses for giving teenagers contraceptive implants and jabs without informing parents

Ned Trifle II, Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:22 (fifteen years ago) link

How come Alfie lives on an estate with his mother (implication = single mum, council estate, I guess?) in The Sun, but lives in a quarter-of-a-million quid Essex-girl mansion in the Mail? It wouldn't be for extra shame of him not even being one of those schemie brats in the Mail, would it? It could happen to YOU!

The rate of teenage pregnancies is falling, you fucking Tory cunt

Yeah, but it happened while Gordon Brown is in charge, so it's still his fault.

StanM, Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:31 (fifteen years ago) link

N/A because inconvieniently lower than under the Tories, by any chance?

Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:39 (fifteen years ago) link

Hang on when did the rise start? Round about 1979?

cat anatomy expert (ledge), Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:40 (fifteen years ago) link

Near enough for the Mail to that blame that on the 60s

Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:43 (fifteen years ago) link

Or the unions

Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:46 (fifteen years ago) link

foreigners!

StanM, Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:50 (fifteen years ago) link

No, everything that was bad in Britain then was the fault of the unions, NOW everything is the fault of foreigners

The Winter of Discontent = middle England's equivalent of the Holocaust

Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 12:53 (fifteen years ago) link

Higher in the 50s and 60s I think?

Ned Trifle II, Saturday, 14 February 2009 13:01 (fifteen years ago) link

Also figures difficult to compare.

Ned Trifle II, Saturday, 14 February 2009 13:02 (fifteen years ago) link

But maybe not in the 1850s, where Iain Duncan Smith and David Cameron are looking to for so many of their ideas (xp)

Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 13:03 (fifteen years ago) link

So falling per capita then, Daily Mail?

Mail only taking into account pure Aryans in their figures

Vitbe Is Good Bread (Tom D.), Saturday, 14 February 2009 13:19 (fifteen years ago) link

1850s you say? When the age of consent was 12 (and not raised to 16 until 1885)?

Ned Trifle II, Saturday, 14 February 2009 13:26 (fifteen years ago) link

(in the UK that is)

Ned Trifle II, Saturday, 14 February 2009 13:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Daily Mail viewers really helping the situation...

Should police investigate baby born to 15-year-old girl and 13-year-old boy?

* Yes 82%
* No 18%

He told how he and Chantelle, 15, decided against an abortion after discovering she was pregnant

Chantelle: "Let's write in red crayon why we shouldn't have the babby. In green why we should."
Alfie: "Why green? Can't we pick blue?"
Chantelle:"No, you stuck that up my bum the other day."
Alfie:"Ah shit, yeah."
Chantelle:"So let's DO IT!"
Alfie:"What? Finger it out?"
Chantelle:"No have a BABY!"
Alfie:"Okay, whatever you like hunny pumpkin"

Particular fond of Barbie-Jayne's part in all of this, because I've decided that this is too ludicrous to take in any way seriously. I think Trayce is onto something.

The only difference is the total absence of anything remotely funny

WRONG!

(I've already covered my views on teenage pregnancies etc elsewhere, so I'm just going to point at these people and laugh because they are living their lives through the tabloids in order that we can do that very thing)

SO YOU SLEPT WITH HER Wtf is wrong with people.

in conjunction with the post previous I can't help but read this in a Jeremy Kyle voice.

"Quite often what fails to recognise is that in some of the more difficult communities, this has become pretty much the norm.", says man of the people Iain Duncan Smith. As a resident of a recent Teenage Pregnancy Capital of Europe™ and former resident of a strong competitor for that title, I've heard of one case of a 14-year-old mother and, other than that, a small smattering of 15-year-olds (and a million 16-year-olds, of course). News story in not quite being matter of dog bites man shockrrrrr.

xpost - I don't know, when I was 14 there were a few girls in my year that had babies, it's not exactly rare (this was back when the Tories were in charge so sod you Ian Duncan Smith).

A friend of mine's 13 year old daughter is pregnant at the minute and it's pretty heartbreaking. Like the lad in these photos she looks more like she's 10 than 13 and she's having to spend the last three months in hospital because it's taking such a physical toll on her. I know it's still bad that a lad as young-looking a Alfie is a dad but the first thing I thought when I saw the photo was how much worse it would be if it was the mother that looked like that rather than the dad.
