The future.....?
I could not help thinking, in a cynical sense, how the odious British Pensions Minister Ian Duncan Smith would be wanting to continue the 'good work' of Bastôy in Britain today.
He has obscene Catholic overtones for his persecution of the poor and disabled, and there is a veiled notion of eugenics creeping into his propaganda; that children of poor and needy families have less well developed brains and ought to be taken into care and put in retraining camps to set them on the true path to cleanliness and freedom...and like Bastôy, use them as cheap and hard labour.
How he must hate the fact that Bastôy now must be the most liberal prison in the world..and Norway has one of the lowest re-offending rates in Europe.
Film for thought, indeed!
