The fact is,children WANT discipline & control.When I was a 13 year old,and had moved back to Henley from Sussex, I ENJOYED being in the Sea Cadets,& being subjected to a form of military discipline.In those days,if you were cheeky to an older cadet,you were likely to get a hefty (and painful ! ) slap round the ear !! It happened to me several times !! Did I go running home to mummy,blubbing about abuse & human rights ?? No,of course I bloody well didn"t !! I wanted to stay in the cadets,because it was such fun,and very educational.We were taught about responsibilities, about duty, about discipline,about self-restraint, about teamwork.We learned useful ,practical, skills that helped to improve our self-confidence. In fact,I loved it so much,I went on to join the Royal Navy,& happily signed on for 9 years (that was the MINIMUM in 1964 !! ) But then,in those days,there was still hope ! Prisoners called the staff "sir ", teachers had the cane as an option( I was caned several times at Henley Grammar School !!), the police patrolled the streets,realistic sentences were given to serious criminals,real men opened doors for ladies ,or offered their seats on trains,and real ladies said thankyou. The world wasn"t full of of vicious,feminist harridans trying to undermine all male authority, & it wasn"t a criminal offence to say that you disagreed with male anal intercourse .In fact ,all in all,it was quite a pleasantly ordered little society,with,paradoxically enough, the frisson of excitement brought on by the increased personal liberties of the "swinging sixties"-----But of course NOW,we all have so much personal liberty, and so little responsibility,that we ,and our children, and our leaders,have all lost our way.We have to try and regress,or lose everything !!Unless you WANT this country to end up as part of a Muslim Empire ?? Because they have the will,and the discipline,to take over---We do not have the will,or the discipline,to resist......AND they HATE our laziness & decadence !!! Dump Blairism,& bring back McMillanism.or even Churchillism, before it"s too late !!
