WHEN BABIES BECOME HANDBAGS FOR SCUMBAGS
Barrie Drewitt-Barlow is expecting triplets with new partner Scott Hutchinson
A disproportionate number of very strange stories about the Reproductive Revolution originate in the land of fruits and nuts, i.e. California. However, it would be unfair to ignore Florida, a state which does a lot of heavy lifting in this area. Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Dave Barry claims that although Florida has only 6% of the US population, it contributes 73% of the nation’s weirdness.Inevitably, some of these involve bioethics.
The latest involves Barrie Drewitt-Barlow, a British expat who is a minor celebrity in the UK media. He and his then-partner Tony were the first same-sex couple in Europe to have both dads on the birth certificates of their children. Now they run an international surrogacy agency and live in a luxurious mansion in Florida. Why Florida? Because commercial surrogacy is illegal in the UK.
“We are the poster boys of same-sex parenting,” Barrie told the Tampa Bay Times. At the moment they have four sons and a daughter created with the help of a variety of egg donors and surrogates.
Barrie and Tony were married in 2014, after a partnership which began in 1987. Last October, however, they separated and Barrie has repartnered with Scott Hutchinson, a man half his age. Scott was his personal assistant for seven years and used to date his 20-year-old daughter Saffron. “I know people will think Scott is only after my money and all that,” says Barry. “He is, after all, 25 years younger than me — but I don’t care. I’m going to enjoy every moment that I can, while I can."
In October Barrie and Scott are expecting triplet daughters via a surrogate mother, selected because of her “gorgeous looks” and high IQ. “Our family has too many boys and too much testosterone! So we used sex selection to even things out,” says Barrie. “We know we are having girls.”
Tony is still part of the household and has agreed to be the godfather for the triplets.
Barrie explained to The Sun: “Tony is excited too, although it does underline that our marriage really is over after all these years, so it is very bittersweet. But we are all going to remain living under the same roof. Tony is Dad, I'm Daddy and while at the moment Scott is stepdad, soon he's going to be Daddy Two.
“We are happy, we want to co-parent our kids and that's all that matters. If people don't get it, that's their problem, not ours.”
Barrie is not at all self-conscious about his unconventional family life. He told The Sun:
“All of our biological connections are about to get even more complicated with the girls but we just regard ourselves as a very modern family. As far as we are concerned they are brothers and sisters. What does the biology matter as long as they are loved and have a stable home?
“There are far more dysfunctional households than ours, we are just unconventional, as our kids have three parents who adore them.”
Actually, even more kids are involved. Barrie’s policy is to mix his sperm with his partners’ so that the children cannot be sure who their father is. But he has also donated sperm to a lesbian couple in the UK and both of the women are pregnant and due to give birth in September. “There’s my children and theirs to celebrate,” he says. “After all these years there are going to be babies everywhere.”
And actually, there’s another child in the mix – a boy whom Barrie fathered in a drunken night out when he was 19. He only met his son 21 years later.
It’s all rather muddled. The children whom Barrie has fathered don’t know who their mother is, or don’t know him as a father, or are not sure whether he is their father. Is that fair to them? Barrie, Tony and Scott appear to think that lavishing money on children is an adequate trade-off for a mother. It’s not.
But perhaps this is what happens when you start tinkering with the institution of marriage. Seriously weird people with bags of money turn children into a fashion accessory.
Dave Barry has an explanation for bizarre stories like this. “My argument has been for a long time that it's not so much Floridians are weird …, it's people who come to Florida: we are like the Ellis Island for weird, stupid people—they come to Florida to commit stupid acts.”

MORE FACT CHECKER FAILURES.
ONE OF OUR FACEBOOK PAGES, RIGHT TO SPEAK 2, WAS PUNISHED FOR SHARING AN ARTICLE REFERRING TO THE NUMBER OF RECENT AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRES WHICH HAD BEEN STARTED BY ARSONISTS.
THE ARTICLE WAS FROM A WEB SITE CALLED "SUMMIT NEWS". NO ARTICLE THAT WE HAVE SEEN HAS MANAGED TO INCLUDE EVERY MINUTE DETAIL OF EVERY FACTOR INVOLVED IN THE FIRES. AT THE STAGE THAT THE ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN, IT WAS TOO EARLY TO WRITE A POST MORTEM - DOES THE SANCTION MEAN THAT NO STORIES CAN BE WRITTEN UNTIL ALL FACTS ARE KNOWN? THAT'S A RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION.
BUT NOT FOR FACEBOOK AND THEIR FACT CHECKERS CALLED [IN THIS CASE], SCIENCE FEEDBACK.
THEIR CLAIM OF A VIOLATION RESTED ON THEIR "FACT" THAT THE SUMMIT NEWS ARTICLE DID NOT INCLUDE CLIMATE CHANGE AS A FACTOR IN THE SEVERITY OF THE FIRES. THUS, RIGHT TO SPEAK 2 WAS PUNISHED FOR SHARING IT TO THEIR TIMELINE, EVEN THOUGH AT THAT TIME HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR ARTICLES WERE BEING PUBLISHED IN BOTH MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND ON INTERNET SITES. BUT RIGHT TO SPEAK 2, COPPED A BAN.
NOW THERE IS EVIDENCE THAT THE FACEBOOK FACT CHECKERS WERE WRONG
NOT ONLY ARE THEY WRONG .............. THEY HAVE UNJUSTLY DELETED AND PUNISHED FREE SPEECH BASED ON FACT. THE POSTED ARTICLE WAS NOT MERE OPINION. AND SO WHAT IF IT WAS?
HERE IS A SCREENSHOT OF THE ADVICE FROM FACEBOOK. I WON'T LENGTHEN THIS ARTICLE BY PUBLISHING THE ACTUAL ARTICLES SHOWN.
AS ONE CAN SEE FROM THE SHOT ABOVE, THE CAUSE OF THE FIRES AND THEIR SEVERITY ARE TWO DIFFERENT ISSUES.
THAT'S THE FACT CHECKERS ERROR #1
WHAT FOLLOWS IS THEIR ERROR [AND INJUSTICE] #2
THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC STUDY PUBLISHED IMPLICATING CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE BUSHFIRES.
IN THE ARTICLE BELOW, THE CSIRO COULD NOT FURNISH SUCH A STUDY.
March 05, 2020
For 10 excruciatingly long seconds yesterday, CSIRO boffins couldn’t answer a simple question from Queensland Senator Matt Canavan.
It all started when, in an attempt to push the “bushfires are caused by climate change” narrative, Labor senators got the CSIRO’s bushfires explainer document tabled in parliament.
They weren’t counting on the fleet-footed Canavan actually reading the explainer and catching the CSIRO out red-handed:
“When I read through it I noticed that the CSIRO had failed to include some key information,” said the savvy senator.
Canavan quoted the CSIRO’s official published position on climate change and bushfires: ‘However, no studies explicitly attributing the Australian increase in fire weather to climate change have been performed at this time’.
“Why wasn’t that sentence included in the explainer?” Canavan asked Doctor Peter Mayfield who was fronting Senate Estimates on behalf of the CSIRO.
“…it is really a question of what you choose to put in and not put in. There’s a lot of other things we could have written,” poor Mayfield bumbled.
Canavan replied: “This is apparently the latest version of ‘Climate Change in Australia’. Is that still the [CSIRO’s] position – that there are no studies attributing the Australian increase in fire weather to climate change?”
<insert said 10 excruciatingly long seconds here>
Mayfield silently stared down at his notes, searching in vain for a shovel.
“I can have a crack at that if you want, Peter,” a CSIRO colleague’s voice is heard over the microphone.
But Mayfield soldiered on: “I was just having a quick check on it, yes. At this stage there are historical studies around that but at this stage we haven’t done any specific work.”
To be clear, this was the Australian federal government agency responsible for scientific research caught red-handed trying to pin the bushfires on climate change despite its own official position being that there are no studies to prove this.
Speaking later in the evening, Canavan said:
“This was a document about climate change and the science about bushfires and they failed to include that the CSIRO has concluded in their last report on climate change in Australia that there are no studies linking climate change to fire weather at this stage.
“It’s like writing a report for a newspaper about a football match and not including the final score.
“It was essential to what they were trying to write and they left it out.”
Clearly this wasn’t a mistake by the CSIRO.
It was a deliberate attempt to fan the flames of the climate cult.
And of course, as solid members of said cult, the mainstream media hasn’t uttered a word about the exchange in Senate Estimates yesterday.
Information is being censored. Only one story gets up these days: Australia is burning and it’s all climate change’s/the government’s fault.
THE END.
