Tory Frontbencher in 'Shameless' Appeal for Credibility

The shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Chris Grayling has warned that many parents in the UK do not know how to bring up children. In a speech to the Reform think tank, the Conservative frontbencher claimed that parenting of the type seen in the Channel 4 series ‘Shameless’ has become the norm in many places.

“The problem is that these grotesque proles don’t have any Tory role models in their hideously blighted lives,” said Mr Grayling. “With no Conservative folk heroes to look up to, how do they stand a chance of bringing their godawful chav spawn up to vote Tory? That’s why I’m reducing a serious political debate to the level of name-dropping a popular TV show - in the vain hope that the scum who watch it may think that I have something in common with them.”
