I didn’t even go for that stuff in the 1960s & it’s a bit silly now for someone who belongs to the baby busters, born at the time of the great post-pill slump in the birth rate (the number of births in England & Wales fell from nearly 820,000 a year, on average, in the second half of the 1960s to 690,000 a year in the first half of the 1970s). His generation don’t have a hope unless they speak nicely to the boomers, even though they did make all those stupid mistakes. Or else we may all turn in to That Woman.
But if the newspaper reports are true Master Miliband doesn’t care about birth statistics – he did not bother to register his details on the birth certificate of his son because he was ‘too busy’. Apparently the government of which he was a member never got round to enacting the legislation which would have made registration of the father’s name compulsory.
