The estimable Philip Davies MP was a Conservative MP (2005-2024). He gave his maiden speech in the House of Commons on 7 June, 2005, the Hansard transcript is here. I should be surprised if any other MP ever gave a speech in which the issue of racist sausages came up. The relevant extract:
“Before entering Parliament, I worked for the supermarket chain Asda in customer service and marketing. It provided the best possible grounding for a politician because I met so many people from so many backgrounds. Whoever said “the customer is always right” never worked for Asda. I encountered the customer who accused us of being racist towards Irish people, because we sold “thick Irish sausages”. Trying to persuade her that “thick” related to the sausages and not to the Irish was beyond me. Hon. Members should therefore understand why I will campaign hard against the blight of political correctness, which is doing so much damage to our country. [Hon. Members: “Hear, hear.”]”
Philip is well-known to longstanding followers of this blog. He gave presentations at four ICMIs, Wikipedia reports on what happened following his appearance at the first such event, in London (hyperlinks removed):
“In July 2016, Davies gave a speech on the justice gender gap at the International Conference of Men’s Issues organised by Justice for Men and Boys. He said: “I don’t believe there’s an issue between men and women. The problem is being stirred up by those who can be described as militant feminists and the politically correct males who pander to this nonsense”. Objecting to the lower number of men who win in custody cases with their former partners, he said: “Many women use their children as a stick to beat the father with”. He rejected a suggestion that his appearance at a J4MB event meant that he subscribed to the party’s viewpoint. He did not receive a fee for his participation in the event.
In response to Davies’ comments at the July 2016 event, Jeremy Corbyn, the leader of the opposition, said that Davies’ “deeply sexist” opinions showed that he had an “utter contempt for women”. He called on Theresa May, the Conservative leader, to withdraw the party whip from Davies. The Labour peer Baroness Corston, a barrister who reviewed the issue of women in the justice system for the Home Office, told The Guardian that “There is indisputable evidence that women are treated by the courts more harshly” than men. Davies responded by providing figures from the Ministry of Justice collected by men’s-rights lobby group Parity, which he argued suggest that the courts favour women when sentencing. He said that Corston is thus “ill-informed or deliberately lying when she accuses me of lying“. [J4MB emphasis]
Philip inaugurated the annual series of debates on International Men’s Day debates despite bitter opposition from the hatchet-faced MP for Birmingham Yardley, Jess Phillips. He covered many men’s issues over the years, one year focusing on Male Genital Mutilation, pointing out that carrying out non-therapeutic circumcision is a criminal offence under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, being at least ABH and almost certainly GBH, video here (4:27). Needless to say, the mainstream media didn’t cover the matter.

Our thanks to Jeff for this. How nice of the (female) magistrate to convert a sum stolen from taxpayers into a 22-year loan. The end of the piece:
JP Lynne Towers told her: ”We do believe this offence has crossed the custody threshold however we are going to suspend it because vagina.” {J4MB: We’ve added two words but as always in such cases, they’re implied.]

It saddened me to read this. Extracts:
“I was abused, physically, mentally, and emotionally between the ages of eight and 18. Because of what was going on, I could not have friends, as they may have wanted to come to my house and that would have made things worse. I haven’t had a birthday party since I was five and I don’t always remember when my birthday is…
I constantly have triggering moments around people, but it is not their fault, which makes it all worse. Then I feel guilty that I have had such an overreaction to things which they quite often either haven’t done or have not intended. If all this sounds pathetic, that is because it is. I know you are probably thinking that a real man would not allow this to happen to them for so long. That is the response I have had from prison psychologists before. [J4MB emphasis]
I suppose I should be happy, though, because according to the Government, the prison system and the BBC, I and other male victims of domestic violence do not exist.”
I was moved to post these comments, which I hope will reach him:
“I am so sorry to hear your story, which most certainly is NOT ‘pathetic’.
Men and boys are very often the victims of domestic abuse, at least as often as women and girls, according to the Partner Abuse State of Knowledge Project (2013). I’ll post a link to this letter on the website of Justice for Men & Boys, I hope you’ll get the support you need to recover from the traumas you suffered as a child.”
I would encourage others to also post sympathetic and supportive comments. Thank you.
