What I found
breathtakingly arrogant was the wilful ignorance gleefully embraced by, mainly
men, but some women as well, to the point that when women contacted media outlets and radio phone-ins
to reinforce and back up Jess Phillips statement with actual evidence of daily harassment, they in turn were often
denounced as liars by other callers, again mainly men, as well as presenters
or so-called journalists.
This again
was no surprise. I have long been inured against the reactionary and
self-serving ramblings of the nom-dom owned right wing press, as well as the
bigoted ramblings of some fat knacker who presents the LBC weekday breakfast
show.
What I found
truly disgusting was not just the condemnation, by these mediaeval muppets, of
women who described how they were groped, leered at, molested or sexually
harassed on a daily basis, but the level of desperation deployed by some of these chauvinistic
dinosaurs to infer that sex attacks were mainly committed by immigrants and that
the events in Cologne were only committed by Muslims and that they committed them
because of the religion they supposedly practiced.
First of
all, the religion of the attackers in Cologne is unknown. But the main point is
that chauvinistic attitudes towards women as well as the sense of entitlement
some men adopt towards women is a cultural phenomenon, not a religious one.
Sexist attitudes are prevalent throughout the continent of Africa,which is
partly Christian, as well as eastern Europe, again mainly Christian, south Asia, which has large populations of Hindu and
Sikh, and the middle east and south east Asia, which of course is
predominantly Muslim.
What I found
truly repulsive, was the backwoods attitudes of these neanathodol swamp
dwellers, whose desperation to shut down the truth and to wilfully ignore the
facts presented by actual victims of sex attacks, made you wonder if some of
them ‘doth protest too much’. If you know what I mean.
Jess
Phillips wasn’t stating that the events in Cologne are being copied 'identically'
on the streets of Britain. What she was articulating was that women are
subjected to similar acts of harassment every week of the year in Britain as
well as in many other parts of the world . There are no gradations in sexual violence. Being sexually assorted by
one, two, or three men is probably just as distressing as being assaulted by thirty men
or more.
The principle is simple. No one has any right or entitlement to invade
the space of any other person.
This wilful
and deliberate denial of the facts is yet more proof that we, as a country, are
descending into an ice age of Victorian values where the poor are expected to
show deference, women should know their place and accept their lot, and both should be grateful for
any crumbs that fall from the table of the establishment elite, the wealthy,
and their quisling cronies in the media.
It would
appear that this recent discourse has highlighted yet another negative aspect
of the Tory government, in that the racists, sexists, xenophobes, jingoists, poor
haters, BBC haters, Welfare state haters, NHS haters and chauvinists, seem to
think it’s safe to show their heads above the parapet again because they
believe their regressive beliefs have the tacit approval of 10 Downing Street,
who do apparently appear to share many of them, as do many of the swivel eyed loonies inhabiting the Tory backbenches.
This
government is happy to see a divided nation because it allows them to work
under the radar and continue to pursue their self-serving policies without any
opposition, as well as helping to ensure the Tory's incompetence in areas
such as tax evasion/avoidance, debt reduction, housing policy, Cameron's pathetic attempts at EU reform, privatisation of
the NHS and the Tory’s continued war against the poor and low paid, goes unnoticed and
unchallenged, as does the Tory's vile policy and short-termism as they asset strip the country's wealth and services, selling many of them off cut price to their party donor mates.
Whether it
be a Labour MP being attacked for telling the truth or migrants being blamed
for every problem this Tory government creates, the Tory’s are happy.
The Tory
mission statement is ‘take responsibility for nothing and always blame somebody else, but make sure you make a buck while doing it’.
It’s also the motto of the coward.
Spitting Mad.
If you are
one of those cretins who feel the need to expel the infected contents of your throat, mouth or
lungs in public, then at least have the decency to spit into a drain, one of
which is rarely more than fifty feet away. Don’t spread infection and disease by gobbing-up and leaving your diseased
phlegm on the pavement, thus spreading infection and disease.
Thank you.
A bunch of……..?
Anybody with
any sense knew what was happening when Cameron referred to immigrants in Calais
as ‘a bunch of migrants’. Firstly, he was deploying this ridiculous ‘dead cat’
strategy to draw peoples’ attentions away from the Google tax fiasco
facilitated by Chancellor of the Exchequer Gideon Osborne, who by hailing this
derisory amount of back tax being paid by Google as ‘a victory, demonstrated
how out of touch he is and how poor his political judgement is. The
unpleasantly named ‘dead cat’ strategy is the Tories saying “we think the
general public are stupid and will easily be diverted by any old crap we throw at
them”. And secondly, Cameron was giving his racist muscle a rare outing in
public. A muscle he has probably honed in private for many a year, probably
since the glory days of the Bullingdon Club and beyond.
“Those that stand for nothing, happily fall for anything”.
