David Cameron – sexist, racist, ageist

Norman Smith is the Assistant Political Editor of the BBC. Outside 10 Downing Street this morning – three days after the announcement of a majority Conservative government – he said the following on BBC News 24:

David Cameron’s team has made it known his new cabinet will better reflect the diversity of the nation. There will be fewer ministers like me – male, pale, and stale.

‘Male, pale, and stale’. In plain English, Cameron is going to deny senior office to capable people along sexist, racist, and ageist lines. We always suspected that his pursuit of social engineering exercises in the coalition with the Liberal Democrats had nothing to do with the latter party, and he’s just confirmed it. Meritocracy has been sacrificed on the altar of a social engineering initiative. It’s a sad day for Conservatives.

About one in five Conservative MPs are women – 68 out of a total of 331 MPs – yet Cameron has made it known he will give a third of cabinet posts to women – here. Female Conservative MPs are 62% more likely than their male colleagues to be offered ministerial positions. Numerous more capable men will have to remain on the back benches to enable this social engineering exercise.

Yesterday Cameron re-appointed Nicky Morgan as Education Secretary and Minister for Women & Equalities, thereby re-dedicating himself officially to radical feminist policy directions for the coming five years. It’s why we’ve given him a fourth successive ‘Toady of the Year’ award. His certificate is here.

I was warning the public about Cameron’s feminist leanings as far back as 2010, with the publication of David and Goliatha: David Cameron – heir to Harman? The front cover – by the legendary cartoonist Martin Honeysett – made the point.

We plan to field candidates in the 20 most marginal Conservative seats at the 2020 general election.

David Cameron wins his fourth consecutive ‘Toady of the Year’ award

I worked for the Conservatives, as a business consultant, during 2006-8. In the autumn of 2009 Cameron announced his intention to adopt all-women prospective parliamentary candidate shortlists, a highly anti-meritocratic proposal. I cancelled my party membership in protest, as did a number of other party members.

I then started work on a book which was published the following year, David and Goliatha: David Cameron – heir to Harman? The cartoon on the cover was drawn by the late cartoonist Martin Honeysett in line with my suggested design, and the design is here. We think he captured both David Cameron and Harman perfectly.

We present Toady awards to men in positions of power and influence who drive or collaborate with radical feminist agendas which harm men and boys. Radical feminism – a female supremacy ideology espoused by men-hating women (and men), which emerged from Marxism – has been the prevailing ideology of the political (and other) classes in the UK, and across much of the developed world, for 30+ years.

Toadies are found in all walks of life. Campaign for Merit in Business, an associated campaign, has reported that a third of FTSE100 chairmen are members of the ‘30% Club’. The club campaigns for higher female representation on corporate boards, even though compelling evidence shows that one consequence will be corporate financial decline. Campaign for Merit in Business has provided that evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries, yet the government continues to bully major companies into appointing more women onto their boards, through threats of legislated gender quotas if they don’t.

In 2012 our associated campaign The Anti-Feminism League presented David Cameron with its ‘Toady of the Year’ award, in recognition of his role in this matter. The original blog piece, with a link to the award certificate, is here.

In 2013 our supporters were incensed by the story of female postgraduate engineering students at Brunel University receiving an additional taxpayer-funded sum of £22,750 solely on account of their gender. Men pay 72% of the income tax collected by the British government.

Even in the Labour administrations of 1997-2010 when Harriet Harman was at her most influential, such an outrageous anti-male measure would have been unthinkable. But we shouldn’t be surprised. Under David Cameron’s leadership the Conservatives have been driving radical feminist agendas with even more determination, as we’d expect from the administration of the least principled prime minister in living memory. And so it was that we presented David Cameron with our ‘Toady of the Year’ award for 2013 too. His certificate is here.

In 2014 we presented David Cameron with his third consecutive ‘Toady of the Year’ award, for reasons which are outlined on his award certificate.

And so we come to Cameron’s fourth consecutive ‘Toady of the Year’ award, that for 2015. Some have said that his pursuit of radical feminist agendas whilst in coalition with the Liberal Democrats was attributable to the influence of the latter party. At J4MB we never believed that for a moment.

Now unshackled from the Liberal Democrats, and leading a majority Conservative government, Cameron realised his ambition of appointing women to a third of cabinet posts, although only one in five Conservative MPs are women (68 out of a total of 331). He’s inevitably consigned a number of their more competent male colleagues to the back benches. He’s also re-appointed Nicky Morgan as both the Education Secretary and Minister for Women & Equalities. She later tweeted:

Delighted to continue as Secretary of State for Education and Minister for Women & Equalities – lots more to do in both roles.

We shudder to think what she means by ‘lots more’ with respect to women. Cameron’s new award certificate is here.

Our 2015 general election manifesto, which outlined how the human rights of men and boys are assaulted in 20 areas by the actions and inactions of the state, usually to advantage women and girls – who are specifically assaulted in no areas – is here.

We need a Minister for Men, not a Minister for Women.


			

Paul Elam interviews Mike Buchanan

A few hours ago Paul Elam interviewed me about the general election, and a range of issues, some related to the election, some not – here. Paul was the first person to take up J4MB party membership when we first published our piece on it – here. He will be financing the £500 deposit of one of the 50+ candidates we plan to field in the 2020 general election. We thank him warmly for that, and for his exhortation on this video to AVfM followers to also become members.

One radical feminist party challenged another at the general election. Both ended up without power. Good news.

The fact that UKIP has one MP after landing 3.9 million votes, and the SNP 56 MPs (out of a possible 59) after landing far fewer votes is outrageous in democratic terms. But I’d like to point to another angle, which I haven’t seen covered by anyone.

The Wikipedia page on the SNP makes for interesting reading. I was particularly struck by this line:

In its economic and welfare state policies, the party has in recent years adopted a markedly feminist profile, influenced by thinkers such as Ailsa McKay.

Echoing this, one of Nicola Sturgeon’s initial actions as First Minister was to appoint a gender-balanced cabinet. What of the late feminist economist Ailsa McKay – she died last year – whose Wikipedia profile is here? From the profile page, referring to a time before Nicola Sturgeon succeeded Alex Salmond as First Minister:

First Minister of Scotland Alex Salmond praised McKay’s “astonishing contribution as a feminist economist, both in arguing the case for women into work, and in being the principal author and arguer for many years for the transformation of childcare that will make that possible,” while Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon described her as “an inspirational economist and feminist”.

Also in Ms McKay’s profile, Alex Salmond said this:

My regret is this, that I didn’t take forward Ailsa’s policies in my first ministerial stage.

Neither Salmond nor Sturgeon have children.

Both the SNP and the Labour party are radical feminist parties to their core. The SNP, through its success at the general election, taking many Labour seats, has gifted the Conservatives a majority government. What a delicious irony.

Barry Williams, Lone Fathers Association of Australia

A lengthy (43:05) but fascinating audio interview with Barry Williams, a legendary Australian advocate for father’s and children’s rights. The interviewer is Dean Esmay, and it was recorded in 2013. In the 1970s Barry went on a hunger strike for father’s rights, as Dan Perrins is doing in Canada as I write this.

Be sure to catch the comments stream. It seems Australian Feminazis have undone much of Barry’s work in recent years, sadly.
