politicalite--2020-03-06--FIGHT BACK! MPs Urged To GET TOUGH on Anti-Free Speech Gender Bullies

MPs have been told to stand up to the bullies in the “ gender lobby ” who are trying to shut down free speech .
SNP MP Joanna Cherry told the House of Commons that disagreeing with gender ideology has increasingly become “ a dangerous thing to do ” and has resulted in “ the attempted silencing of well-respected feminist academics and others simply for asserting women ’ s rights ” .
LBC News reported The MP for Edinburgh South West added that she is “ not remotely transphobic ” and supports the rights of trans people .
“ One @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today , as forcefully as I can , is that it is eminently reasonable for women , if they wish to do so , to organise on the basis of their sex .
It ’ s also legal for them to do so .
“ It has been central to decades of feminist thought that to say that gender is imposed on women , in order to uphold their oppression .
By gender , feminists mean presentation , modes of dress and the falsehood of feminine and masculine personality traits , ” she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ International Women ’ s Day , Ms Cherry added : “ So if we say that gender is somehow innate and that it supersedes sex , the logical conclusion is that women can somehow identify out of our oppression , and many feminists disagree with that.
” She told MPs that many trans women she speaks to are “ angry that their quiet and dignified lives are being disrupted ” by individuals “ pushing identity politics in a way that is anti-democratic and abusive ” .
Ms Cherry said : “ It ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in all parties stood up to bullies in the gender lobby who want to shut down the right to free speech for those who don ’ t 100 % agree with their ideology .
“ Because even if one doesn ’ t care about this issue , if we allow bullies to triumph over free speech in one area of public discourse , then we ’ re giving them free rein to triumph over free speech in other areas of public discourse.
” She added : “ I would like this chamber on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a really strong message across all the nations of these islands that no-platforming and attempting to silence feminist academics and other women who assert women ’ s rights is wrong .
“ So what I want to say this International Women ’ s Rights Day is that women must be allowed to organise , to protect their hard-won sex-based rights , and on International Women ’ s Day , this House should stand up to the bullies who are seeking to prevent them from doing that.
” Ms Cherry also said that the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ opportunity for the United Kingdom Government to finally do what is necessary to ratify the Istanbul Convention ” .

RUDDY RICH COMING FROM YOU! Politician Who BANNED Journalist From Britain Demands Free Speech After Getting DEPLATFORMED at Oxford Uni

SNOWFLAKE Amber Rudd got a taste of her own medicine last night after she was de-platformed at Oxford University .
The ex-Home Secretary who famously banned right-wing journalists and activists from Britian during her tenure told Oxford students to “ stop hiding and start engaging ” after she was “ no-platformed ” 30 minutes before an event .
Rudd was due to speak at the UN Women Oxford event for International Women ’ s Day , but was blocked after the student society voted to cancel it .
She took to Twitter and moaned : “ Badly judged & rude @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to decide to “ no platform ” me 30 mins before an event I had been invited to for # IWD2020 to encourage young women into politics.
” UN Women Oxford posted on its Facebook page : “ Following a majority vote in committee , tonight ’ s event with speaker Amber Rudd has been cancelled .
“ We are deeply sorry for all and any hurt caused to our members and other wom*n and non binary people in Oxford over this event.
” .
MAYBE Amber Rudd now knows what it feels @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When she was Home Secretary , the anti-Free speech MP banned Lauren Southern , Martin Sellner and Brittany Pettibone from the UK .
Whilst Politicalite never agreed with the three , we still believed they had a right to free speech .
Southern received a LIFETIME BAN from the UK because she handed out leaflets that claimed “ Allah is gay.
” The Canadian Activist and Journalist said the Home Office had permanently banned her because she had been “ caught distributing racist leaflets in Luton town centre.
” Southern was detained at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ UK on March 13 sparking outrage among many young Tories at the time .
She was held under the Terrorism Act and banned from entering because her actions presented ‘ a threat to the fundamental interests of society and public policy of the United Kingdom ’ .
Responding to the ban Southern said : “ ‘ Why do the rights of Muslims to be homophobic trump the rights of gay people to have their self-expression ?
” She also said the UK “ needs to have a conversation about this before they ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ conversation at all ” The move led to us supporting UKIP at the time to back free speech .
Years later after Rudd ’ s weak and unstable Government collapsed , and was replaced by a real right wing operation , Rudd is crying because she ’ s now the victim of anti-Free speech zealots .
Politicalite still believes Rudd deserves free-speech , and she shouldn ’ t have been de-platformed… but maybe now Rudd knows just exactly how it feels .

politicalite--2020-03-07--NIALL McCRAE: Priti Patel MUST prevail, freedom of movement is a danger to women

THIS ARTICLE MAY OFFEND SOME READERS PRITI Patel is having a hard time with her stubborn , we-know-best civil servants .
But for the sake of a safer immigration system she must prevail .
No borders = no security .
And EU freedom of movement , which the Sir Humphreys will try to continue despite the government ’ s manifesto commitment , has made many a female victim through the unimpeded entry of known and unknown sex offenders .
The danger of a borderless world was illustrated by a recent occurrence a stone ’ s throw from my home .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ two Romanian men of no fixed abode , Radian Cojorcaru and Gabriel Bejinariu , took a trip to the suburbs .
On arrival at Carshalton station they entered a long alley adjacent to the railway line .
At the end of this well-used pedestrian shortcut , in a relatively safe residential area , they met a 53-year-old woman and raped her in broad daylight .
Fortunately two local men saw the attack as they drove past in a van , and bravely gave chase to the attackers .
They caught one of them @ @ @ @ @ @ @ garage roof belonging to a friend of mine , a retired fireman , who helped to hold on the assailant ’ s leg until police arrived .
The other rapist fled but was caught a week later after police scanned CCTC images at Victoria Coach Station .
These hardened criminals were both sentenced to 12 years in prison .
Of course , most Romanian people living here are law-abiding citizens , and it would be unfair to blame them for the actions of a minority , just as British Muslims should not be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ men of mostly Pakistani heritage .
A distinction should be made between Romanians and the Romani gypsy community , a nomadic ethnic group originally from the Rajasthan , Haryana and Punjab regions of India .
Although the Roma are not historically linked to Romania , they are the largest minority community in that country , numbering around 619000 .
Other countries with high Roma populations are Slovakia , North Macedonia , Montenegro and Bulgaria .
The Roma are heavily stigmatised in these countries , where they suffer from social exclusion , and arguably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ president Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini tried to evict Roma gypsies due to criminal activity .

THIS ARTICLE MAY OFFEND SOME READERS
PRITI Patel is having a hard time with her stubborn, we-know-best civil servants. But for the sake of a safer immigration system she must prevail. No borders = no security.
And EU freedom of movement, which the Sir Humphreys will try to continue despite the government’s manifesto commitment, has made many a female victim through the unimpeded entry of known and unknown sex offenders.
The danger of a borderless world was illustrated by a recent occurrence a stone’s throw from my home. On a Sunday afternoon in 2018, two Romanian men of no fixed abode, Radian Cojorcaru and Gabriel Bejinariu, took a trip to the suburbs. On arrival at Carshalton station they entered a long alley adjacent to the railway line. At the end of this well-used pedestrian shortcut, in a relatively safe residential area, they met a 53-year-old woman and raped her in broad daylight. Fortunately two local men saw the attack as they drove past in a van, and bravely gave chase to the attackers. They caught one of them as he tried to escape over a garage roof belonging to a friend of mine, a retired fireman, who helped to hold on the assailant’s leg until police arrived. The other rapist fled but was caught a week later after police scanned CCTC images at Victoria Coach Station. These hardened criminals were both sentenced to 12 years in prison.
Of course, most Romanian people living here are law-abiding citizens, and it would be unfair to blame them for the actions of a minority, just as British Muslims should not be tainted by the child rape gangs of men of mostly Pakistani heritage. A distinction should be made between Romanians and the Romani gypsy community, a nomadic ethnic group originally from the Rajasthan, Haryana and Punjab regions of India. Although the Roma are not historically linked to Romania, they are the largest minority community in that country, numbering around 619000. Other countries with high Roma populations are Slovakia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and Bulgaria. The Roma are heavily stigmatised in these countries, where they suffer from social exclusion, and arguably persecution.
Political leaders such as French president Nicolas Sarkozy and Italian interior minister Matteo Salvini tried to evict Roma gypsies due to criminal activity. In the UK large numbers of Roma arrived after the application of EU freedom of movement rules, and many sleep in tents under office block canopies, along roadsides or in wooded areas. An illegal encampment of Roma beggars emerged on the edge of Hyde Park, leading to a crime wave of robberies and sexual assaults in the area. The Home Office stopped deporting rough sleepers after a court ruling on EU rights. However, according to a Westminster City Council spokesman, ‘what we are seeing in Mayfair appears more organised gang crime, we can’t conflate that with rough sleeping’. Eventually the campsite was cleared by police, but the problems simply shifted elsewhere.
According to a University of Salford study in 2013, about 200000 Roma gypsies were living in the UK, concentrated in Glasgow, Rotherham, Doncaster, Derby and Luton. The numbers are not accurately known, as EU citizens do not need to register on arrival. Since 2004 a large population of Slovakian Roma has settled in Page Hall, a deprived multicultural district of Sheffield. Tension arose between the more established Pakistani community and the Roma influx. Local Labour MP David Blunkett, who as Home Secretary had declared that ‘there is no ‘obvious limit’ to the amount of immigration to Britain, warned of a ‘boiling pot’ in danger of spilling over. In 2018 a police helicopter, police dog and 15 police vehicles attended a school after a Roma girl had allegedly pulled a hijab off a Yemeni classmate, leading to a mass brawl in the canteen. Many people complained about fly-tipping, prostitution and thieving by the recent arrivals.
The Roma community is prone to scapegoating, and community leaders have tried to build bridges. However, official reports or academic studies that omit any mention of criminality are not helping to solve the problems experienced by Roma and their neighbours. For example, the National Roma Network report in 2018 stated that Roma ‘come from very traditional communities, with stricter moral and behavioral (sic) codes’. A report on the Roma community in Govanhill, Glasgow, is similarly reticent: ‘whilst not actually representing a significant threat, their grouping together on street corners, a reflection of Roma culture, can be and often is seen as threatening by those who do not share such traditions’. Lone women may have a less welcoming attitude to such male gatherings, and this should not be dismissed as racism.
According to a report by The Black Sea website in 2016, ex-pat Romanians were heavily overrepresented in jails of other EU member states, comprising 34.2% of foreign prisoners, with around 630 in British prisons. It is not known how many were from Roma communities, but whatever their background, there has undoubtedly been a crime surge since freedom of movement was extended to Romania. Convictions are mostly for burglaries and muggings, but also sexual assaults – with a troubling incidence of premeditated rape. In 2017 brothers Ovidiu and Andrei Mamaliga, following release from a French prison for rape, brutally attacked a woman in her 40s in Acton, west London. Having engaged her in conversation, they asked to use her toilet. The woman agreed and then asked them to leave, but they grabbed her, bound her with shoelaces, undressed and raped her. Her cash, jewellery and mobile phone were stolen. The Metropolitan Police believe that other women may have been raped by these men, urging them to come forward. In 2019 kitchen workers Constantin Ionescu and Nicolae Dragoi followed a woman through Farnham town centre, waited till she went along an alley and raped her. The woman, aged 40, had returned from her mother’s 70th birthday party at a London restaurant, and had drunk more at a local pub. The men, who took advantage of her in an inebriated state, were sent to jail for 14 years. As in the Acton and Carshalton incidents, the perpetrators went in pairs to a residential area, targeting a woman of middle age.
According to the Black Sea report, ‘the crime rate is around three times higher for Romanians abroad than Romanians at home’. This suggests that recidivists are taking advantage of EU freedom of movement, moving to countries where they are unknown by the authorities. In 2014 Cezar Florea, a car-washer with a lengthy criminal record, attempted to rape a grandmother in Middlesbrough, and was jailed for 16 years after extradition from Romania. As well as abusing British hospitality, these criminals show that EU freedom of movement endangers women.
In 2010 the French government began to repatriate thousands of Romanian and Bulgarian Roma immigrants living in illegal camps. A choice was presented of voluntary repatriation with a €300 grant or forced expulsion for threatening public order. Although Bulgarian and Romanian citizens are entitled to enter France, under French immigration rules they must have work or residency permits to stay longer than three months. However, many took the money and soon returned to France. Brexit enables Britain to reinstate proper border controls and prevent re-entry. Due to human rights law, few rapists from other EU countries have been deported after release from prison (typically halfway through their sentence). A bilateral removal agreement should be made with the EU so that convicts are returned to their homeland.
Let us leave the last word to a 42-year-old victim of a two-hour assault in Leigh, Manchester by a serial rapist who had twice been imprisoned in Romania. Incredibly, Vasile Nastase, who lived near his victim, was bailed before the trial.
‘Why has this happened to me? We put our trust in the government to protect us and they keep failing…they aren’t keeping women safe.’

Potential Effects on Casino Licensing
Most of the issues which we’ve seen crop up with Brexit is the fact that licensing deals might – it’s not certain – prove more difficult to build. The result of this is that it might be more complicated for players to engage their favourite websites, should those websites be based in the EU. However, we’ve also seen that this could mark out profound new possibilities.
Still Available from the UK
We all know the idea of Brexit – to keep more money in our nation and avoid dealing with outside interference. After some initial financial hurdles, this path could open up a huge range of employment opportunities to those of us here in Britain. In other words, if there is a gap left in the online casino market from Brexit, companies here at home could fill the space.
In some ways, this is similar to what the US has experienced until the Trump government. There is little doubt that Trump’s focus on keeping business within American borders is high on his list of priorities. This has led to an enormous amount of support for him over other Republican candidates, meaning he is shaping up to get great odds for the 2020 Presidential Election compared to even the Democratic frontrunners of Biden and Sanders. While his focus has been more on goods production than on digital systems like casinos, the base idea of keeping business local remains the same.
Back at home, our own developments are exciting because of just how many digital jobs can get involved within the creation of online casinos, and their games. On the base level, we have the likes of website designers. This includes programmers, artists, QA testers, and more, and that’s just for the website itself. If companies open to provide gaming software, opportunities could also include musicians and mathematicians.
Even better, the digital nature of this work means that it could be possible for interested individuals to work right from home. Bringing in money to our economy without bankrupting themselves for expensive big-city real-estate can be a fantastic fit for many who love where they live, and the benefits this could have for comfort and mental health cannot be understated.

politicalite--2020-03-09--GROOMING ROW: Labour SUSPENDS Trevor Phillips over fake Islamophobia claims

LABOUR has suspended a black equality campaigner over alleged Islamophobia in another blow to Free Speech in Britain .
Trevor Phillips , 66 who has made programmes for Channel 4 has previously stated that Britain risks “ flames ” of racial and religious conflict because of a “ liberal self-delusion ” over the impact of mass immigration .
He also said the arrival of some Muslim groups in particular who are actively “ resistant to the traditional process of integration ” threatens to shake the foundations of “ liberal democracy ” itself .
Phillips , the former head of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and diversity policy the UK is being allowed to “ sleepwalk to catastrophe ” by leaders too “ touchy ” , “ smug ” , “ complacent ” and “ squeamish ” to talk about race .
Echoing Enoch Powell ’ s “ rivers of blood ” speech , he said British politicians , media and educated elite in general to the Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned , unable even to recognise the “ dark side of the diverse society ” .
Ominous “ muttering in the pub or grumbling at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he insists , be the first signs of a backlash many thought could not happen in Britain because of a history of relative success in integrating new arrivals .
The 66-year-old anti-racism campaigner now faces an investigation and could be booted out of the party .
He said : “ I ’ m kind of surprised that what is and always has been an open and democratic party decides that its members can not have a healthy debate about how we address differences of values and outlook .
“ They say I am @ @ @ @ @ @ @ actually , that ’ s true .
The point is Muslims are different .
And in many ways I think that ’ s admirable.
” He was backed by Tory MP Ben Bradshaw who also took a free speech attack when he was banned from asking a question about poor White lads in the House of Commons last week .
The Mansfield MP said : “ This swift action against Trevor Phillips is in stark contrast to the complete lack of action against anti-semites I & many other Labour MPs have reported repeatedly @ @ @ @ @ @ @ members .

LABOUR has suspended a black equality campaigner over alleged Islamophobia in another blow to Free Speech in Britain.
Trevor Phillips, 66 who has made programmes for Channel 4 has previously stated that Britain risks “flames” of racial and religious conflict because of a “liberal self-delusion” over the impact of mass immigration.
He also said the arrival of some Muslim groups in particular who are actively “resistant to the traditional process of integration” threatens to shake the foundations of “liberal democracy” itself.
Phillips, the former head of the equality watchdog said that decades of multiculturalism and diversity policy the UK is being allowed to “sleepwalk to catastrophe” by leaders too “touchy”, “smug”, “complacent” and “squeamish” to talk about race.
Echoing Enoch Powell’s “rivers of blood” speech, he said British politicians, media and educated elite in general to the Emperor Nero fiddling while Rome burned, unable even to recognise the “dark side of the diverse society”.
Ominous “muttering in the pub or grumbling at the school gate” about foreigners could, he insists, be the first signs of a backlash many thought could not happen in Britain because of a history of relative success in integrating new arrivals.
The 66-year-old anti-racism campaigner now faces an investigation and could be booted out of the party.
He said: “I’m kind of surprised that what is and always has been an open and democratic party decides that its members cannot have a healthy debate about how we address differences of values and outlook.
“They say I am accusing Muslims of being different. Well actually, that’s true. The point is Muslims are different. And in many ways I think that’s admirable.”
He was backed by Tory MP Ben Bradshaw who also took a free speech attack when he was banned from asking a question about poor White lads in the House of Commons last week.
The Mansfield MP said: “This swift action against Trevor Phillips is in stark contrast to the complete lack of action against anti-semites I & many other Labour MPs have reported repeatedly to @JennieGenSec & who remain Labour members.”

politicalite--2020-03-10--HONEYSETT-WATTS: Events, dear boy, events – Budget 2020 Opinion

THE unpredictability of politics was perhaps best described by Harold Macmillan as the sudden appearance of “ Events , dear boy , events ” .
Although nobody – including his biographer – has been able to trace back to when he said that !
As the first quarter of 2020 has shown , the UK government has had to respond to ‘ events ’ rather than push on with other priorities .
First came the storms ( Brendan , Ciara , Dennis and Jorge ) that caused travel disruption , flooding and damage to infrastructure .
Next were sustained attacks @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Left , disgruntled civil servants and some in the media , including that ghastly cartoon in The Guardian .
But nothing , nothing could quite trump Coronavirus and its dominance in the national conversation .
At work , you will hear colleagues singing the national anthem or happy birthday ( twice ) or counting to 20 – while washing their hands .
At home , some family members are ‘ self-isolating ’ having stock-piled enough paracetamol , pasta and toilet roll to last them a lifetime .
Pesky things , these events .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ his team have weathered them all .
What ’ s next , I hear you ask ?
Only one of the biggest events in the parliamentary calendar and the first for more than a year .
Several weeks ago , Rishi Sunak had no idea he would be replacing Sajid Javid as the country ’ s second BME Chancellor and delivering a Budget this Wednesday .
Nor could he have envisaged ‘ Black Monday ’ , which saw some of the biggest daily stock market drops since the 2008 global financial crisis and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Thankfully , his closeness to Number 10 – he was Boris Johnson ’ s stand-in for one of the TV debates – as well as his time in financial services ( Goldman Sachs and The Children ’ s Investment Fund Management ) and more recently as Chief Secretary to the Treasury means he has both the support from the top and the experience to deliver the goods against economic uncertainty .
The question is how radical can and does the Chancellor want to be in reshaping the UK ’ s economy ?
My @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t do everything this time ; with the more dramatic measures postponed until either the Spending Review or Autumn Statement .
Speaking on The Today Programme about the Budget , George Osborne said the government needs to “ vaccinate the economy ” .
He is probably right .
Just look at what has been pre-briefed : 2020 will be the last year that women are taxed on sanitary products plus there is double funding for flood defences , employment tax breaks for veterans and £8 million for football pitches .
All of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ m certain will be welcomed by those affected , but they are hardly earth-shattering .
I hope – and anticipate – there will be much more on the levelling-up agenda , as expectations of this government – from all quarters , but especially blue-collar workers – are very high ; more so , as it ’ s been the longest gap between budgets since the 19th century .
It is customary for the Chairman of Ways & Means to chair the debate on the Chancellor ’ s Budget .
I look forward @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Dame Eleanor Laing – the first woman to hold that post – on this historic event , during Women ’ s History Month .

THE unpredictability of politics was perhaps best described by Harold Macmillan as the sudden appearance of “Events, dear boy, events”. Although nobody – including his biographer – has been able to trace back to when he said that!
As the first quarter of 2020 has shown, the UK government has had to respond to ‘events’ rather than push on with other priorities.
First came the storms (Brendan, Ciara, Dennis and Jorge) that caused travel disruption, flooding and damage to infrastructure. Next were sustained attacks on the Home Secretary – from the Left, disgruntled civil servants and some in the media, including that ghastly cartoon in The Guardian. But nothing, nothing could quite trump Coronavirus and its dominance in the national conversation. At work, you will hear colleagues singing the national anthem or happy birthday (twice) or counting to 20 – while washing their hands. At home, some family members are ‘self-isolating’ having stock-piled enough paracetamol, pasta and toilet roll to last them a lifetime.
Pesky things, these events. So far, the prime minister and his team have weathered them all. What’s next, I hear you ask? Only one of the biggest events in the parliamentary calendar and the first for more than a year.
Several weeks ago, Rishi Sunak had no idea he would be replacing Sajid Javid as the country’s second BME Chancellor and delivering a Budget this Wednesday. Nor could he have envisaged ‘Black Monday’, which saw some of the biggest daily stock market drops since the 2008 global financial crisis and trading in US shares briefly suspended.
Thankfully, his closeness to Number 10 – he was Boris Johnson’s stand-in for one of the TV debates – as well as his time in financial services (Goldman Sachs and The Children’s Investment Fund Management) and more recently as Chief Secretary to the Treasury means he has both the support from the top and the experience to deliver the goods against economic uncertainty. The question is how radical can and does the Chancellor want to be in reshaping the UK’s economy?
My suspicion is he does but he can’t do everything this time; with the more dramatic measures postponed until either the Spending Review or Autumn Statement. Speaking on The Today Programme about the Budget, George Osborne said the government needs to “vaccinate the economy”. He is probably right.
Just look at what has been pre-briefed: 2020 will be the last year that women are taxed on sanitary products plus there is double funding for flood defences, employment tax breaks for veterans and £8 million for football pitches. All of these make sense to me and I’m certain will be welcomed by those affected, but they are hardly earth-shattering. I hope – and anticipate – there will be much more on the levelling-up agenda, as expectations of this government – from all quarters, but especially blue-collar workers – are very high; more so, as it’s been the longest gap between budgets since the 19th century.
It is customary for the Chairman of Ways & Means to chair the debate on the Chancellor’s Budget. I look forward to being in the chamber to see Dame Eleanor Laing – the first woman to hold that post – on this historic event, during Women’s History Month.
