Jacqui Smith to defy rebels with plans for 42-day detention without charge

"Jacqui Smith said yesterday that plans for 42-day detention without charge are going ahead - despite signs that a Labour rebellion is gathering pace.

The Home Secretary, speaking ahead of a vote on the Counter Terrorism Bill tomorrow, insisted the argument could be won."

So much for the feminist movement's favourite claim that women in power are more humane than men. You only have to look at the evidence to see that this is self-serving garbage. Here we see the fragrant Ms Smith forcing through legislation to imprison people for 42 days without charge.

Why is this necessary? To combat a 'terrorist threat'. Why do we have a terrorist threat? Insofar as we have one, it's because her government carried out an illegal military invasion of two sovereign countries in order to steal their energy assets. It's no wonder they are pissed off with us.

Nice one Jacqui. Another triumph for those human rights that feminists like yourself hold so dear.

Don't call the barmaid 'love': How landlords could be forced to pay up if they allow sexist banter

"Bar managers and store owners face large-scale compensation claims if their customers ogle their barmaids, waitresses or check-out staff.

Story here

New sex discrimination laws also mean that landlords who allow loud sexist jokes or banter among drinkers could be taken before a tribunal.

The regulations say that bosses are responsible for protecting their staff from sexual harassment by customers - and that those who fail to do so can face unlimited compensation claims."

Another raft of false accusations wating to happen. Another set of profitable and socially useful enterprises forced out of business by teh feminist-led Left.

Would the last one to leave the UK please turn the lights out.

21-year-old faces jail after seducing soldier then accusing him of rape

A woman is facing jail for falsely claiming a soldier raped her after a boozy night out in an RAF bar.

Story here

Amanda Lang, 21, seduced Phillip Trowell as he celebrated the end of a training course at RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.

The former call centre worker took the soldier back to her flat on the base and the pair had consensual sex.

Hours later, Mr Trowell, 21, flew out to Cyprus to rejoin the rest of his regiment. He was arrested there a short time later when Lang went to police.

She claimed she had been pushed to the ground and raped behind a church on the base after the pair left the bar.

Lang had been due to stand trial charged with attempting to pervert the course of justice by making the false rape allegation earlier this month, but changed her plea to guilty.

Judge Julian Hall bailed Lang - who is known to friends as Tink after Peter Pan's Tinkerbell because of her fascination with fairies - with the warning to "prepare to be going to prison" when she is sentenced at Oxford Crown Court today.

Pregnancy costs 30,000 women their job a year, says Sexism and the City report

"Pregnancy costs 30,000 women a year their jobs, says a report.

Story here

Expectant mothers and women who have just given birth face high levels of sex discrimination and are denied the flexible working they need."

Get this:

"As a result, many are forced to put the needs of their child before their careers."

Isn't that how it should be?

"The Sexism and the City report, by the Fawcett Society, highlights the experiences of a huge number of women and calls for tougher action to stamp out sexism in the workplace."

The Fawcett Society is headed by one Catherine Rake, a radical lesbian feminist who collaborated with Mary Daly on her last book project. This person is advising the British government.

The Fawcett Society does not campaign for 'equality' as the article says. It seeks to undermine men, marriage and the family.

A shameful way to treat women prisoners

This week we have a rare glimpse of the true agenda of our new, modernised rulers. They have disclosed their secret, virulent loathing of fatherhood.

Another female, former socialist, does her best to blame the decline of marriage on anything other than feminism and the misandric divorce system:

Socially stunted children can hardly hope to achieve much of the maturity and emotional stability that is essential to marriage

Marriage is on the Rocks

The Office for National Statistics, in its deadpan way, dropped a bombshell this week with its revelation that the marriage rate is the lowest ever, or at any rate, in the past 144 years.

The Intellectual Perversion of the VAWA Mafia

When professor Suzanne Steinmetz published the results of her survey on domestic violence, no one had prepared her for the firestorm that would ensue. You see, feminists take it as an article of faith that only husbands abuse their wives.

So when Steinmetz revealed that women are often as violent as their husbands, the fem-fascists started a whispering campaign designed to block her promotion at the University of Delaware. When that didn't work, they phoned in a bomb threat at her daughter's wedding. Cowed by the threats, Steinmetz soon suspended her pioneering research.

Serial shoplifter convicted for 175th time is spared jail AGAIN after magistrates give her ‘another chance'

A Shoplifter convicted for the 175th time was spared a prison sentence after magistrates decided to give her another last chance.

Joanne Jones, 31, has faced more than 200 court hearings and served 34 jail terms over the past 16 years, at a cost to the taxpayer of more than £700,000.

But she walked free from the court after Canterbury magistrates decided there was a "chink of light" to suggest she could change – despite the fact that she was on bail when she committed her last offence and is still hooked on heroin.
