Coming Soon to the UK, Just Remember That

A UK woman has been arrested in Dubai after being raped.

This is one of the things I can't get my head round with the Labour government: we have a government that allows Sharia law to be practised in this country, yet it's cabinet contains Harriet Harman, one of the most rabid feminist women you're every likely to meet. She really must be guilty of the most crass hypocrisy to promote the overtly misandrous policies she does in public, but not to publicly criticise the policy which allows sharia law to be practised in this country, which is institutionally mysogenistic.

Now forgive me if I'm wrong on this, but wasn't the sexual revolution that started in the sixties and continues today supposed to be one of the key facets of equality? Wasn't the pill seen as one of the liberating factors? Why would you give any credence to a legal system that seeks to remove that equality if you claim to be a feminist?

Its a travesty that anyone with the feminist beliefs that Harriet Harman supposedly has isn't shouting from the rooftops that its a crime any woman should be subjected to Sharia law in this country, when we have a legal system that treats women fairly. If you're a woman in her constituency and you are thinking of voting for her come the next election, you should really think about that closely before you place a cross next to her name. Just where do her loyalties really lie?

Weather Chaos: Expect More!

I'm hearing reports that a number of bodies like local councils are having their grit supplies taken over by the government and shipped elsewhere.

So those places that have benefitted from good management and ordered in the right amount of grit, used the grit wisely and still have supplies to last the rest of the cold spell, have been pushed into chaos as the grit they thought they had has been commandeered by the government to be squandered on those areas with bad management who are running out.

You couldn't make up how piss-poor at managing things this government are. If it was a TV series you'd turn over in disbelief. Even "The Thick of It" doesn't protray a government that makes everything it touches a disaster does it?

I've seen and heard a number of reports of this sort. Expect more.

Geoff Hoon: The Wrong Target

Seems that Mr Hoon could face a vote of no confidence from his constituency Labour party. Hmm, sounds like sour grapes to me.

Of course the person that should be facing a vote of no confidence is Gordon Brown.

A case of shoot the messenger?
