Non-Political Maman

I cannot even begin to explain my absolute disgust over the behaviour of a large percentage of women who participated in the marches organised in their honour. I would be happier attending a Men's Day march than the atrocious farce that played out last Saturday all over the world.    With the exception, of course, of strictly Islamic countries who subjugate their women on a daily, if not hourly, basis. The women that marched on that day do not represent me.   My great-grandmother was a suffragette and women of her ilk knew what it was like to be treated unequally.   Nothing, I repeat, nothing in today's world represses women in western countries. The main message of the march was "my pussy my rules".  Very laudable sentiments, however, it has ALWAYS been your pussy and your rules.   President Trump, or any government in the western world for that matter, has never declared or insinuated otherwise.    The reason this "messag...

As a member of the Not the Telegraph discussion forum on Disqus, the moderator posed a very interesting and salient question... " Is the old left/right Political divide outmoded in the UK? Could parties realign along nationalist/globalist lines? For clarity... Nationalist here meaning a Nation working with the world; Globalist here meaning the world working in a Nation."  My reply was as follows:- Japan is not berated for its "protectionist" policies. It is proudly nationalistic. Saudi Arabia is nationalistic, for itself that is, but very keen to spread its malign influence over other countries/regions (but that is a religious thing or is it political?) so it has a foot in both camps. The EU and the USA pre #MAGA were decidedly globalist, the Democrats were the mouthpieces of the very people that socialists are supposed to despise but, it would appear, everyone has a price (look at Bernie Sanders). There were also Republicans spouting similar globalist rhe...

I have just received another egregious attempt by the SOROS funded mouthpiece AVAAZ.   It is using all the current PC speak to try to undermine the DEMOCRATIC will of the American people and their desire to ring the changes and #MAGA. The email is below, in its entirety and is full of the usual rhetoric as employed by the "intelligentsia", the kinds of words that they use to shame one into agreeing with their beliefs and to stifle any forms of debate. The first sentence uses the word "hate" (seven words in from the beginning no less) and it is alluded to in the form of "hateful" in the second paragraph and a third time in the fourth and a fifth time in the seventh!!   The fact that this emotive word is used five times in an email about Donald Trump and the populist politicians currently gaining ground in the USA and Europe shows it is blatant propaganda they are disseminating. My argument is why?   Why are the candidates that are pushing back ...

  The Provost of St Mary's Cathedral in Glasgow thought it was a good idea, in the name of “diversity” and “inter-faith” relations to have a Muslim girl read a passage of the Quran (Suna 19) at the service marking the feast of the Epiphany.   That is all well and good and the intentions could be considered worthy until it was discovered what the translation of the Quranic verses meant. Suna 19 refers to the birth of Jesus to the Virgin Mary, it then goes on to denounce Jesus as the Son of God, that Jesus should not be worshipped and re-iterating later on in the text that God has no son. This was not only preached in a Christian church whose belief system is in the Holy Trinity (God the Father, his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost) but at a service worshipping the Feast of Epiphany, marking the arrival of the three Magi to the birthplace of Jesus Christ.    At this juncture, it is worth pointing out that although the three Magi would have been of Ar...
