Tory mayor calls for genocide of disabled children

A Tory deputy mayor has sparked outrage by calling for disabled kids to be guillotined to avoid wasting cash on their care.

Retired GP Owen Lister made his sick suggestion to fellow councillors as they discussed sending the youngsters to a £3,000-a-week care home.

Mr Lister, 79, told them: "I would guillotine them."

He has now quit as deputy mayor but yesterday stood by his outburst.

He said: "I indicated at that point that perhaps the guillotine might be better.

"These are children you can't educate. It's merely a matter of caring for them until they die.

"The only difference between a terminally ill patient and a severely handicapped child is time."

The councillor, of Swindon, Wiltshire, argued the funds should instead be used to cut NHS waiting lists.

He added: "It shows how peculiar we are as a society on this matter that we spend this vast amount of money caring for disabled youngsters to very little purpose at all.

"It would be better spent on those who might actually benefit, such as cancer sufferers.

"We have 5,800 people waiting to go into hospital in Swindon. A percentage of those will die as a result of waiting too long."

His remarks came as the borough council's children's committee debated putting youngsters in a Cornwall home.

Labour councillor Fay Howard said: "There was a slight pause and looks of disbelief. Everyone was totally shocked."

Labour colleague Barrie Thompson, the committee's vice-chairman, likened Lister to one of Hitler's henchmen.

He said: "The last time I heard remarks like that were from Heinrich Himmler."

And the Disability Rights Commission added: "It's chilling that an elected representative with responsibilities for deciding on support to disabled children should view the slaughter of innocents as legitimate public comment."

Mr Lister also quit the children's committee and now faces a council probe.

A council spokeswoman said: "He recognised he'd said something deeply inappropriate that could cause offence and resigned straight away."


I have long realised that we have some awful monsters in charge of this country at the moment, but this case takes the biscuit.....They really are inviting a serious response from sections of the British public.....Bring on the revolution it can't come soon enough imo. 

Ah, but what if the cancer patients "can't be educated" either? In any rate, I hope they find a suitable heart donor for this guy ...

The Tories are really vile, really sinister, a bit like your tea party 2015 can't come soon enough then we can kick their rancid asses out of government and get the Labour party instead, they aren't perfect but much better than the Tories.

It takes a certain breed of human to be so cold and calculating. It is almost as if all in this leadership have very similar tendencies to the Nazi way of thinking.

I think you could write a book or three about the methods these people use to gain support for policies that are obviously bad for the general public. Actually there are probably a lot of books about that already out there ...

Hi Ben.

That would not surprise me at all. Wondering if any books have been taken off the shelves already, that we don't know about.

It's very scary the way that things are going CJ, a few years ago you would never have expected to hear that sort of bile being relayed in this country by a mainstream politician but now that seems to have all changed, UKIP (United Kingdom Independence Party)....They are a fringe far right party in this country that campaign on a platform of us leaving the European Union, they are expected to win in the EU elections next year and you wouldn't believe some of the stuff that they come out with....Here's an example  

What a wonderful example of an arrogant loud mouthed bully. Not the sort of guy you would want living in your street, let alone have the misfortune to have to pass by him on the road. People who behave like this should never be in politics but most of the politicians we are seeing are all of the same calibre... This man highlights most of our countries ongoing problems; we have way too many misfits who are so obviously unstable by the way they behave. They should be kept away from the public and most certainly not leading in any way or form.They are out of control!

Those are the sorts of politician's that we are required to have to accept in this country  ....A very new concept!

"we are required to have to accept" Huh. I was made of better stuff I am just hoping there are going to be a few more that thinks like me that will not accept these thieving, murderous, louts for leaders for very much longer.
They ALL need exposed and publicly humiliated with all assets they have stolen through their deception and blood trading, should be returned to the people, before all these blood suckers being locked well away from the rest of us decent human beings.
Would love to see mug shoots of these criminals.

Here is another fiend this country seems to have forgotten.

Slimly Lord Mandelson. The ex-business secretary said he believed the party had moved on from the days of having to choose "between state control and laissez-faire".
But Labour's Caroline Flint said the 1997 windfall tax backed by Lord Mandelson had cost utility firms more.
She also said that Lord Mandelson had "financial interests" in energy.

True that! And he is very close to our present chancellor.....




....And let's not forget that he tried to take credit for all Mo Mowlam's work over the Northern Ireland peace process when he stole her job
