A man of twenty-one with learning disabilities has been granted taxpayers’ money to fly to Amsterdam and have sex with a prostitute. Why not? His social worker says sex is a “human right” and that his client, being a virgin, is entitled to the support of the state in claiming said right.
Agreeable symphonies? Is Steyn taking some of the greatest achievements of the human mind and spirit and comparing them unfavorably to the US Senate in the person of Arlen Specter?
The multikulti/social justice things are an Anglo - American thing. They're the seed that will wreck everything else.

Rot changes his mind about the Brits.
