And they've got the nerve to talk about the 'nanny state'?
There you are, a young couple, deeply in love and thinking of setting up a home together, and starting a family, and who do you find at the bottom of the bed peering on.... none other than the creepy Michael Gove!
Mr Gove said when couples started a relationship and made the decision to bring up children they should not have to feel they were "on their own".
Now I know the Conservatives in Wolverhampton were keen on this sort of group activity, Gove old son, but most people I suspect would prefer a bit of privacy.
William Dalrymple reviewing Michael Gove's book, described him as having.... "little knowledge of Islamic history, theology or culture" He goes on.... "Gove's book (Celsius 7/7) is a confused epic of simplistic incomprehension, riddled with more factual errors and misconceptions than any other text I have come across in two decades of reviewing books on this subject."
