Michael Howerd has today said "I grew up in the 1930s with an unemployed father. He did not riot. He got on his bike and looked for work, and he went on looking until he found it.".

Speaking at Alton Towers Michael Howerd’s comments come in a week that has seen extremists involved in engaging in steamy sex romps on an ever more frequent basis.

Michael Howerd’s comments are both brave and perceptive. In a country where children as young as five are regularly exposed to extremists it is about time that someone had the guts to stand up and tell the truth. Extremists and the liberal communist atheist society that spawns them must be eliminated.
