Conservative Babies

Daughter number three, to sexagenarian
(close to septuagenarian) father Brimelow


I make a once-in-a-blue-moon click on the VDare website. I'm often greeted with unpleasant information. I stopped following the website soon after Peter Brimelow, the site's founder, married a woman forty years his junior, and soon after that he became sexagenarian father.

Well, when I checked the site a couple of days ago, after probably a year of forgetting about it, he has another baby to announce. Brimelow is close to seventy, which will make him an nonagenarian at his new daughter's college graduation, if he makes it that long. What kind of life has he subjected her to, with a senior citizen father, with his death imminent?

Such is the way of selfish, narcissistic men that "lead" the world these days. Of course, Brimelow is not a conservative, although that is what he uses to increase his website's readership. He is a libertarian.


The above photo is Brimelow with his family taken soon after his third daughter's birth. The young woman next to him is his now twenty-nine-year-old wife (about twenty five in the photo), who is thirty seven years his junior (all this information is available at Wikipedia).

His daughter from his first wife is in front, holding his daughter by the second wife. Strangely, Wikipedia has no information on the age of his older children. But here is an In Memoriam to his first wife at Vdare. It has a photo with their two children in 1996, which would make the daughter about seventeen now, and the son about nineteen. And a stepmother who is only ten years older than them. Some family.
