Mansfield's MP Ben Bradley has come under fire for comments he made in 2012.

Mr. Bradley said in a blog post that 'unemployed people should get vasectomies.'

The 28 year old has caused a national storm for the comments which he has since apologised for.

This user wasn't happy with Mr. Bradley's apology.

When Tories like Ben Bradley say they have 'matured', what they mean is they have learnt to cloak their hatred and prejudice in more acceptable language! They still think the same!

Meanwhile there have been calls for him to quit.

Why is it okay for Ben Bradley to call for working-class people to be sterilised? He should resign immediately!

There have been others however who have defended his comments.

I don't see what Ben Bradley said was wrong. If you can't afford to have more than 2 children, then don't. Sorry, but the taxpayer cannot keep rolling out for people if they decide to keep having children.
