Won't Someone Please De-Sexualise the Children?

Daveybloke the Cuddly Conservative has performed his usual trick of fulminating over a serious issue without saying anything particularly serious about it. Today the issue is rape, and Daveybloke has predictably promised a crackdown. If there's one thing that gets the Conservative Party's libido up and drooling, it's the promise of a crackdown on something or other; and of course a bit of sex and violence is always good to deplore, as readers of any scumbag tabloid will testify if they can keep from licking their lips for long enough.

As usual, Daveybloke agrees with the political wing of the modern Conservative Party, New Labour, that the solution to society's moral collapse is to put a great many more people in prison. Daveybloke wishes to see longer prison sentences for convicted rapists, but seems to have been a little coy about how many early releases will be necessary to make room for them all while we wait for all the brand, spanking new prison places he's going to fund by abolishing the ID card scheme. (And no doubt, once those places are filled up, Daveybloke will be happy to start up a new ID card scheme to fund a few more.)

Daveybloke also said a few words on the "sanctity of consent to sex as a vital right for every woman" and deplored the "growing sexualisation of our society" over "the past decade or so" since Labour got into power. We have to be honest: as somebody or other implied during a recent general election campaign, voting against the Conservative Party means that some bloke on early release is opportunified to assault your daughter. Daveybloke also blamed "those that work in the media and music industry", advising them to "exercise their responsibility in how they present female role models". The cultural transformation which will bring about this happy state of affairs "should start with making consent a compulsory element of sex education in schools - although parents would retain the right to opt their children out", parental ignorance, prejudice and repression having no discernible effect on children's minds, and being thereby safe for the pandering.
