Don?t Panic Mr Monkeypox! Social Distancing Returns Due to New Viral Panic Tue May 17, 2022 16:53 | Toby Young
At least one medical practice in West London has reintroduced social distancing to reduce the risk of patients contracting Monkeypox. This, in spite of the fact that there are only nine cases so far in the U.K.

Are All Britain?s Current Woes Traceable to a Group of Entitled ?Tory Toffs? at Oxford in the 1980s? Tue May 17, 2022 13:00 | Toby Young
Simon Kuper's book about how a small group of 'Tory Toffs' who were at Oxford in the 1980s masterminded the Brexit project to reclaim their aristocratic birthright is highly entertaining, but not convincing.

Forget Science ? Climate Now Has a Central Role in The Culture Wars Tue May 17, 2022 11:26 | Chris Morrison
You might think that if you debunk patently silly extreme weather claims, the entire fear agenda will go away. Think again. Climate change is now firmly embedded in the culture wars surrounding race, identity and gender.

Would the U.S. Side With Ukraine?s Far-Right Against Zelensky? Tue May 17, 2022 10:10 | Noah Carl
Why didn't the US back Zelensky? The New York Times wrote earlier this year that his government could be overthrown by far-right groups if he ?agrees to a peace deal that in their minds gives too much to Moscow?.

1. "Complete frankness in words in dealing with sexual matters"
2. "glorification of the unmarried mother"
3. "glorification of physical passion"
A press clipping about this is at https://twitter.com/Limerick1914/status/471966810208997...oto/1
There is a good chance that there are a lot more other mass graves from the other Mother Baby homes around the country. As they say if there is one bad bank then they are probably all bad. In this case we already know all these homes were bad places. Someone on the radio this morning pointed out that the Catholic orders view on this was since these mothers sinned then they had to pay for their sins and no level of punishment was enough. It seems very much a case of extreme fanatical religious doctrine. You could call it the Irish Taliban of its day.
In the same show someone else stated that it was known even years ago that the infant mortality rate was 5 times higher than the national average which would have been quite bad in those days and mention was made of a 1934 dail debate about the homes.
A search of the Dail debates archives from 1934 trawls up some interesting perspective on how long this has been going on.
In this first quote it is covering Committee on Finance. - Children Bill, 1934—Second Stage.

So it seems that there was recognition that children of the poor had a huge death rate and while not clear from this quote, it would have been clear that many of these were been given away or in orphanages. What is even more intriguing is the reference above to 'baby farming'. One can only conclude from this that the poor were basically been paid for babies and these were most likely for adoption.
The second set of quotes are from http://oireachtasdebates.oireachtas.ie/Debates%20Author...times
The debate is covering Registration of Maternity Homes Bill, 1934—Second Stage and spells out clearly the situation with these maternity homes at the time.
So it looks like efforts were being made to regulate these institutes but there were plenty of conservative forces resisting it and in the centre of it appeared to be the exchange of money. And later a Dr Ward spells out what was going on and yet it appears nothing was ever done to correct it.
