Three days ago we posted a blog piece which included links outlining the dangers of parliament ratifying the Istanbul Convention, the innocuous-sounding ‘Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence’.
Our thanks to Douglas at antimisandry.com for the following:
Suddenly, the matter of the Istanbul Convention has come to an urgent point.
I have just discovered that this coming Friday, 16th December, a private members’ bill is going into second reading to enact the Istanbul Convention. Details here.
It is important that your MP knows to vote against this bill. Your MP can’t be expected to be informed about everything and an innocuous and helpful-sounding bill like “Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill 2016-17” is something few would object to unless informed.
The DAY AFTER TOMORROW your MP might vote for this, or fail to vote against it. Your earnest appeal to them not to be fooled by the pretty words and title and to vote DOWN this bill might be all that is needed to stop it.
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
Justice for Men & Boys 
Will do though as you point out it appears a real problem in such gynocentric “house”

My problem is that my local MP is the ghastly Green MP, Caroline Lucas who did “Wimmins Studies” @ the puniversity of Sussex. What do you think she’s going to do chaps?!

Try including words like “as a representative of everyone in the constituency, I ask you to represent the men and children, as well as the women.” You might also throw in “as a feminist, I am sure you want your voting record to show support for equality, and so will vote against this Bill, which so clearly does not support everyone equally.”
You never know until you try..

A private member’s bill may be ‘talked out’, or a single shout of ‘Object!’ will delay the reading to a future date. Here’s hoping our hero Philip Davies will do the necessary..

Regrettably, despite some desperate filibustering from Philip Davies, a vote went ahead and PASSED with only two votes against.
Did your MP vote for it? Tell them off, politely but firmly objecting to them introducing a law that is against the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights; that is against the interests of men, their children, and therefore women; that is against the principles of equality; that will do more harm than good for children and adults alike.
Did your MP vote against it? Write a quick thank-you for caring about UK sovereignty, about British values, about the rights of the accused, and about the real situations of domestic violence.
Did your MP not vote? Wrtie and ask them to oppose this legislation in future. You can use the draft letter on this page, or just drop them a quick tweet/email asking them to read this page.
The ‘Istanbul Convention’ – full title “Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence” is NOT about helping UK women who have suffered from domestic abuse, and it is unreasonable to expect it to prevent more domestic abuse. On the contrary, implementing the Convention can only split up more families who could have been saved through caring intervention and by blaming men and treating women always as the victim, it is clearly ideological, not social, in nature.
The voting record should appear here in a couple of working days:

All those who voted for (‘aye’) are either ignorant of the detail of what they vote for, or deliberately voted for draconian/Marxist measures (which do not support equality) to be introduced to the UK constitution.
