Devolution and Growth Across Britain (19 June 2015)
Context: I am Batley and Spen born and bred, and I could not be prouder of that. I am proud that I was made in Yorkshire and I am proud of the things we make in Yorkshire. Britain should be proud of that, too. I look forward to representing the great people of Batley and Spen here over the next five years.

Or, at the time of the famine in Ireland, they would say that the Irish had too many children. We were taking the food from Ireland, and the Irish were starving, and we said they were starving because they had too many children. Now we who are sated, who have to adopt the most extravagant and ridiculous devices to consume what we produce, while watching whole vast populations getting hungrier and hungrier, overcome our feelings of guilt by persuading ourselves that these others are too numerous, have too many children.<br>They ask for bread and we give them contraceptives!<br>In future history books it will be said, and it will be a very ignoble entry, that just at the moment in our history when we, through our scientific and technical ingenuity, could produce virtually as much food as we wanted to, just when we were opening up and exploring the universe, we set up a great whimpering and wailing, and said there were too many people in the world. It&#x27;s pitiful. <br class="br">In response to the eugenic question, http://books.google.com/books?id=pV0eAQAAIAAJ&amp;q=%22eugenic+question%22+overpopulation&amp;dq=%22eugenic+question%22+overpopulation&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ei=V1hcVN_dH4aoyAS-94LADQ&amp;ved=0CDQQ6AEwBAWhat &quot;What about overpopulation?&quot; Seeing Through the Eye: Malcolm Muggeridge on Faith (2005), Cecil Kuhne (Ed.), introduction by William F.
