Is Andrew Sabisky the UK's version of Stephen Miller?? Looks that way, to me.

Calls for Tory aide to be sacked over 'enforced contraception' remarks

Labour is calling for the immediate sacking of a Tory adviser over his controversial remarks about pregnancy, race and women’s sport.

Oxbridge-educated Andrew Sabisky is working as a No 10 adviser, having been appointed after chief aide Dominic Cummings put out a job description for “misfits and weirdos” to join him in trying to shake up government.

The 27-year-old, who is contracted on specific projects and is not a permanent staffer, wrote on Cummings’ website in 2014 than in order to get around unplanned pregnancies in the UK, there should be the legal enforcement of long-term contraception.

“One way to get around the problems of unplanned pregnancies, creating a permanent underclass would be to legally enforce universal uptake of long-term contraception and the onset of puberty,” he wrote. “Vaccination laws give it a precedent, I would argue.”

Pregnancies, drugs, Muslims and FGM - Number 10 adviser's alleged past comments:

"There are excellent reasons to think the very real racial differences in intelligence are significantly - even mostly - genetic in origin, though the degree is of course a very serious subject of scholarly debate." Online comment from January 2014.

"One way to get around the problems of unplanned pregnancies creating a permanent underclass would be to legally enforce universal uptake of long-term contraception at the onset of puberty" A comment on Dominic Cummings' blog from August 2014.

"From a societal perspective the benefits of giving everyone modafinil once a week are probably worth a dead kid once a year." A Schools Week interview in July 2016.

"Eugenics are about selecting 'for' good things... Intelligence is largely inherited and it correlates with better outcomes: physical health, income, lower mental illness. There is no downside to having IQ except short-sightedness." The same Schools Week interview, July 2016.

"Will institutionalized power-sharing (as in Northern Ireland) become the norm in the West - not between Catholic and Protestant, but between Muslim and non-Muslim (by around 2050 Britain is forecast to be a majority Islamic nation on current birthrate trends)?" As part of a book review from February 2014.

"...you will see a far greater percentage of blacks than whites in the range of IQs 75 or below, at which point we are close to the typical boundary for mild mental retardation." An online comment from January 2014.

"It is still unclear to what extent FGM represents a serious risk to young girls, raised in the UK, of certain minority group origins. Much of the hue and cry looks more like a moral panic." An online comment from July 2014.

"Individual differences in intelligence and academic outcomes are largely a result of genes, not environments." A paper published online.

"I am always straight up in saying that women's sport is more comparable to the Paralympics than it is to men's" A Twitter post from May last year.
