In British news, the Tory mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is being
denounced for mentioning IQ in a speech. As we all know, Tories are Bertie Woosters, while Labour casts its nets far and wide to find its leadership in the coal mines and other proletarian places. For example, the current Labour leader is
Ed Miliband, whose father was a famous Marxist college professor. In contrast to the inbred Tories who all come from the same social background, Ed's chief rival for party leadership was David Miliband, whose father was also a famous Marxist college professor. In fact, he was
the same famous Marxist college professor. This pattern is not all that uncommon in the Labour Party leadership. Left of center politicians have been eugenically bred in England since the time of Darwin and Galton. For example, shadow cabinet minister
Hilary Benn is a fourth-generation MP. His father, the Grand Old Man of the Labour Party Tony Benn, used to be
Anthony Wedgwood Benn, 2nd Viscount Stansgate. In other words, the Benns are part of the same china-making Wedgwood family as Charles Darwin's mother and wife.
