The website is similar to the Your Freedom site that asks for ideas about which laws introduced by Labour should be axed. It crashed after dozens of bizarre ideas were suggested, including lifting the ban on marrying a horse.

I thought it said 'bizarre' suggestions?

From the Wail comments

While 'sterilising the poor' is a bit OTT, I quite understand the point that was being made.
When I was teaching it was always the totally unintelligent and disruptive students who went on to produce children at the earliest possible age. After a few years, there was another bunch of unintelligent and disruptive students, usually around five or six of them from the original parent. Most didn't do proper jobs and lived on benefits. Whole generations are being produced who will give nothing to society but sponge from the rest of the taxpaying public.
These young people should be deterred from having children, not encouraged by generous tax breaks and benefits to produce the maximum number possible.

Article said:
The Spending Challenge website has been bombarded with possibilities for savings but some are offensive and others simply bizarre – such as the proposal to limit the amount civil servants drink to stop them going to the toilet.

The writer suggested tea cups over 150ml should be banned and ‘fluid monitors’ brought in to impose fines for transgressions, claiming it could save £11billion a year

Exactly, bar lifting the ban on marrying a horse, the above sounds reasonable to me.

This is why direct democracy doesn't work.
Most of the population are too stupid to make decisions.

Stupidity has never been a reason to turn our backs on democracy.

At Commons question time, she asked for the ‘drivel’ to be removed and the website to be moderated"

Less the fact that it's on the internet, more the fact that in typical Labour style, she will only allow people to make 'approved' suggestions and ensure that anything 'not-approved' is moderated out of existence.

Control state at the sharp end.

So the suggestion should be "sterilise the stupid" rather than "sterilise the poor"? I'd certainly subscribe to that idea.
