Tory MP Ben Bradley under fire for urging jobless to have vasectomies [View all]

One of the few Tories to win a seat off Labour at the last election, whose views seem to have been formed after drinking 14 pints of Fosters then reading the Daily Express. Eugenics seems to be increasingly fashionable with right wingers like Ben Bradley and Toby Young, which is a major cause of concern.

A Conservative MP who has been appointed as a party vice-chairman once suggested that unemployed people should opt for free vasectomies rather than continuing to have children they could not afford to support.

In a blogpost, Ben Bradley claimed that the country would be soon “drowning in a vast sea of unemployed wasters” if workless families had four or five children while others limited themselves to one or two.

Bradley, who unexpectedly defeated Labour’s Sir Alan Meale last year to become the Tory MP for Mansfield, made the comments in 2012 in support of a government policy for a benefit cap.

The 28-year-old, who was promoted to Conservative vice-chair representing young people in Theresa May’s new year reshuffle, apologised for the inappropriate post and said he had since matured.
