Intensely annoying in it’s political correctness though this is, it is still just cynical manipulation and window dressing designed to virtue signal and jump on what he thinks is the most useful and serviceable bandwagon of the moment to serve his own interests, what else?
There would be no hesitation in doing a complete 180 if he thought that would be more to his advantage instead.
Words, after all are cheap.
Basically, another lying politician then who has contempt for the people he’s supposed to be representing, who can be mislead, manipulated and deceived in any way they like – for we are just the great unwashed hoi polloi, there to be used by the rich powerful uber class elite aren’t we?
And it has ever been thus.
Although I deplore the careless damage their words do, I find at least some little consolation in reflecting that it will only be a matter of time before the lies that work today will be exposed and mocked, jokes invented, and apple carts upset requiring a new set of mis-representations to be conjured out of the circumstances of the day.
Not that this makes it any better, easier to put up with, or any the less worthy of our profound contempt, I agree.

In truth this has been the policy of most charities for a long time. I donated regularly to several charities for decades before I realised what they were up to. I’ve cancelled all those standing orders. It’s not merely unfair, it’s staggeringly stupid. The idea that a country’s economy can prosper by ignoring men and providing resources directly to women is naïve beyond words. It presents poor men in these countries with the impossible prospect of having to compete against international aid organisations in supporting their families – a competition they are bound to lose. It is analogous to the destructive influence of the welfare state in undermining marriage.

An analogous state-of-affairs exists in nature-conservation, where former organs of nature conservancy have been overtaken by ‘green’ politics. I used to support several nature-conservation organisations, but no longer do so since these organs now place a greater empahsis on green politics than on wildlife protection. Needless to say, ‘green’ politics has a distinctly anti-male flavour.

I suspect it will strengthen the growing resistance of recipient countries to what they see as “imperialism”. As you say more and more Aid has all sorts of strings that aren’t about help but about changing their societies in ways that reflect the enthusiasms of Western medias. Even “progressives” in such countries resist such high handed approaches. Precisely because ignorant interventions do damage. A good example of this was shown in Kate Humble’s Programme from east Africa. The Kenyan Government, perceived to be bowing to Western pressure, had instigated laws and campaigns against FGM. In doing so they had created a situation wherein they was now conflict, even potential “war” according to the local Police Chief, and a revival of FGM as a key marker of ethnic identity. Prior to this Western inspired state intervention it appeared FGM was dying out as the population gradually became less rural and “traditional”. So FGM had become a flash point between the local and national Gov. It had been revived as a key marker of ethnicity in this conflict with “Nairobi” and an addition to Kenyas already fractious democracy currently pulling itself apart; and was now “secret” to the authorities but appeared to have a revival. An apparently well meaning intervention with a series of backfires, fuelling another of Africas many ethnic conflicts.

Not at all, it’s merely feminist equality in action. After all, boys don’t need love, security, protection, food, clean water, vaccines, medicine, education, clothes etc etc. Their male privileges provide them with all they could ever need. Women OTOH are strong and independent, but they still need your stuff, because reasons.

I used to know of Muslim women NGO( of which my ex was a former member) in the far east.
My ex told me that they used to receive funding from various western countries( as part of their foreign aid) and in particular the Germans.This was the same NGO that received Yasmin Alibhai-Brown for a talk ( with a huge pinch of salt)
This did come with the caveat about feminism and funding for the “poor women” for which they were virtue signalling.
I was told that the recipients would be polite and thankful for the funding and then laugh at the(funders) behind their backs and carry on with their campaign. They were not entirely happy to have “westerners” push their agenda of feminism onto them, but were happy to take the money and use it for their cause which was muslim women and for islamic law reform ( in aid of both women and men).
we know that two things will happen.
money will disappear into a black hole for which at some point the citizens of countries like Canada will get very upset ( on top of the already corrupt “aid” industry) at the aiding and abetting of corruption..
recipients will become ( if they aren’t already so) resentful of these countries( western) pushing their own political agenda. They already know that such aid is NOT about being jolly good human beings( patronisation) but rather the attempt to lubricate the way for favorable trade and political influence. But the additional attempt to push the values onto other aid recipient countries will smack of old world colorization…
it will not end well for countries like Canada when they don’t even make the same effort for their own indigenous population…

Thank you Mike I stand corrected. Having thought about it it’s unlikely that he would . After all it would have involved him in actually stating a point of view unequivocally. Its much more clever to let Theresa do it and let us assume either that he supports her or not according to our own point of view. He is a politician to his fingertips.

Thanks John. He quit politics not long after the Brexit referendum didn’t go his way. As party leader and PM he was always a mangina, and won out ‘Toady of the Year’ awards four or five years in succession. In the autumn of 2009 he announced his intention to use all-women shortlists for some seats (safe ones, you can be sure) in the coming general election, I was one of many Conservative party supporters who resigned party memberships that day. The proposal was later dropped, but there’s no doubt the party schemed then as now to drive up the proportion of female candidates and therefore female MPs.
