There is something severely lacking in the quality of British manhood these days. In fact the entire western civilisation is infected with the bug, or across the white world if you prefer. More and more of our people are becoming greedy, obese, effeminate and consumer-obsessed.
Back in the sixties and seventies the young kids on the nearby Ashenhurst Estate went out to work on the farms haymaking during the summer, including on the farm I was raised on. That helped teach youngsters the value of work, and that as men their responsibility was to be good, hard-working and physically fit. I think, in honesty, that accounts for the “superior quality” of those on the estates on my own side of town.
We need to, for the sake of survival, encourage the next generation to see masculinity as a good thing. We need to get the young back in the community learning the values of respect, courtesy and putting something into the community, and wrench them away from their video games and trash consumer culture.
The women want men to be men too, you know. It must be at the heart of all public policy, education and cultural activity to put the “man” back into British manhood. Last year the Town Council voted to give £1200 to International Women’s Day. I believe instead of this sort of thing, the best gift to Todmorden’s women would be a commitment from the Town Hall to give them back their sons, and sponsor a radical programme of farm work, masculine artistic endeavours and sports so they can live safe in the knowledge that they are fully supported in raising their children correctly.
Can I propose that we have a Todmorden Men’s Day?
