Fifteen Year-Old Swiss Girl Taken into Care After Parents Refuse to Consent to Course of Puberty Blo... Wed Jul 24, 2024 15:00 | Dr Frederick Attenborough
A Swiss girl has been been taken into care because her parents stopped her taking puberty blockers, breaching a ban on conversion therapy. Is this what Labour means by a "full, trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices"?

Net Zero is Impoverishing the West and Enriching China Wed Jul 24, 2024 13:30 | Will Jones
The West's headlong rush to jettison fossil fuels and hit 'Net Zero' CO2 emissions is impoverishing us while enriching China, which is ramping up its coal-fired industry to sell us all the 'green' technology.

The Threat to Democracy Wed Jul 24, 2024 11:29 | James Alexander
'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

Wanted: Climate Researcher to Write Extreme Weather Just-So Stories to Serve Up to Credulous Media Wed Jul 24, 2024 07:00 | Chris Morrison
If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Its men too. This is about all poor people being disenfranchised not just women.
I'm poor, I have no property and I have no say in any of these things either.
My penis doesn't enter into it!
And all these focus groups have women on them. Just not poor women.
Perhaps this is an issue both poor men and poor women need be united on.
Implying that it is purely a womens issue is misleading and divisive.
since the UN attempted to bring issues of women's poverty to the fore and asked that
National Governments begin to look at the systems that mitigated against women (2005)
no national governments have responded... so I would not worry too much.
I would think that national Governments whose interests are solely profit-driven do not
like community,but whenever I bring up the issue it's sidelined, trolled or attacked. The
most basic attack being of the 'Skeptic' variety where the language that is used is
always of the political variety and tends to hide meaning in well-chosen words that
obfuscate issues. especially on the PD thread. So I will put it simply enough in this case:
Political representation begins in the micro-unit: the individuals needs and rights.
They are not adhered to for political convenience, many base their fear of societal breakdown
in words of violence and in words of control.like it or not the hierarchies that govern us
are male dominated . The HSE is not interested in community medicine and care
with the drawing of arbitary lines for cancer care centres and the creation of super hospitals
in built up areas. there has been no plan proposed for the areas which lose hospital
services. My mother, a feminist, explained the situation as 'fur coat, no knickers'policy.
and its true. I don't see a mad rush on for ordinary women to be taking the corridors of
power but a disinterest in the mechanisms of power- that is leading to a lack of
negotiation on issues on health and education. Not one person, male or female, that
I know supports this 16 billion euro fiasco of Harney but no-one knows how to deal
with it , so alienated are they from the system.
anyway. One of the ways of dealing with it is by recognising that we are not gender
neutral and by increasing (maybe) the volume on women's political voice and input.
Niamh Brennan, for example is an unelected board member of the HSE.
She is the wife of the ex-minister for justice. I would like to see someone like her
sit with the women of the Dolphin's barn community who have inadequate housing, education
access and healthcare and forming opinion on hospital provision in that and not
in the desire of the ex-taoiseach to have the national children's hospital based
in a car-park site in his constituency?
it does not happen. it won't happen either. The HSE was designed as an executive
which reduced Health board input to community level access to parity of treatment
access. Of the 16 billion allocated to healthcare, one billion is going to public
hospitals. one thousand beds have been removed from the public system as a result
of the Private hospitals on public lands legislations. the IMO have accused DOHC
of Health Apartheid.
i do not own property either, nor do I want to but thats different to providing
communities with homes in which to raise their kids. communities with growing kids
need hospitals, schools, parks and greenfield sites.
