That one went past me; Tony Blair floated the idea of forced sterilizations to control crime? I know he floated the idea of intervening in potential problem families, who are not seen to be looking after their children. This appears to be a world away from forced sterilizations! Secondly I didn,t speak of individuals who hold views i.e Tony Blair, I carefully spoke of wide spread political impetus. Winston Churchill for example was a supporter in eugenics, which is my first point about extreme ideas holding sway in Europe in the 30's. Just my 2 Liras worth. -----Original Message----- From: rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:rollei_list-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Antonio Garcia Russell Sent: Friday, September 08, 2006 7:01 AM To: rollei_list@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [rollei_list] Re: Rollei TLR - The History by Ian Parker Well, I wouldnt be so quick to reach that conclusion. Tony Blair only last week floated that very idea as a way of dealing with crime in the UK.
