UPDATE
Minutes after I posted this article, the ludicrous Jess Phillips published an article in the Guardian which could not have been better designed to prove my thesis. A number of people have posted comments on the Guardian article pointing this out, and they have all been immediately deleted by the Guardian. I just tried it myself and was also deleted. I should be grateful if readers could now also try posting comments there, in order to make a point about censorship on the Guardian.
Catching up on a fortnight’s news, I have spent five hours searching in vain for criticism of Simon Danczuk from prominent or even just declared feminists. The Guardian was the obvious place to start, but while they had two articles by feminist writers condemning Chris Gayle’s clumsy attempt to chat up a presenter, their legion of feminist columnists were entirely silent on Danczuk. The only opinion piece was strongly defending him.
This is very peculiar. The allegation against Danczuk which is under police investigation – of initiating sex with a sleeping woman – is identical to the worst interpretation of the worst accusation against Julian Assange. The Assange allegation brought literally hundreds, probably thousands of condemnatory articles from feminist writers across the entire range of the mainstream media. I have dug up 57 in the Guardian alone with a simple and far from exhaustive search. In the case of Danczuk I can find nothing, zilch, nada. Not a single feminist peep.
The Assange case is not isolated. Tommy Sheridan has been pursuing a lone legal battle against the Murdoch empire for a decade, some of it in prison when the judicial system decided his “perjury” was imprisonable but Andy Coulson’s admitted perjury on the Murdoch side in the same case was not. I personally witnessed in court in Edinburgh last month Tommy Sheridan, with no lawyer (he has no money) arguing against a seven man Murdoch legal team including three QCs, that a letter from the husband of Jackie Bird of BBC Scotland should be admitted in evidence. Bird was working for Murdoch and suggested in his letter that a witness should be “got out of the country” to avoid giving evidence. The bias exhibited by the leading judge I found astonishing beyond belief. I was the only media in the court.
Yet even though the Murdoch allegations against Sheridan were of consensual sexual conduct, Sheridan’s fight against Murdoch has been undermined from the start by the massive and concerted attack he has faced from the forces of feminism. Just as the vital messages WikiLeaks and Assange have put out about war crimes, corruption and the relentless state attack on civil liberties have been undermined by the concerted feminist campaign promoting the self-evidently ludicrous claims of sexual offence against Assange.
As soon as the radical left pose the slightest threat to the neo-con establishment, an army of feminists can be relied upon to run a concerted campaign to undermine any progress the left wing might make. The attack on Jeremy Corbyn over the makeup of his shadow cabinet was a classic example. It is the first ever gender equal shadow cabinet, but the entire media for a 96 hour period last September ran headline news that the lack of women in the “top” posts was anti-feminist. Every feminist commentator in the UK piled in.
Among the obvious dishonesties of this campaign was the fact that Defence, Chancellor, Foreign Affairs and Home Secretary have always been considered the “great offices of State” and the argument only could be made by simply ignoring Defence. The other great irony was the “feminist” attack was led by Blairites like Harman and Cooper, and failed to address the fact that Blair had NO women in any of these posts for a full ten years as Prime Minister.
But facts did not matter in deploying the organised feminist lobby against Corbyn.
Which is why it is an important test to see what the feminists, both inside and outside the Labour Party, would do when the leading anti-Corbyn rent-a-gob, Simon Danczuk, was alleged to have some attitudes to women that seem very dubious indeed, including forcing an ex-wife into non-consensual s&m and that rape allegation.
And the answer is …nothing. Feminists who criticised Assange, Sheridan and Corbyn in droves were utterly silent on the subject of Danczuk. Because the purpose of established and paid feminism is to undermine the left in the service of the neo-cons, not to attack neo-cons like Danczuk.
Identity politics has been used to shatter any attempt to campaign for broader social justice for everybody. Instead it becomes about the rights of particular groups, and that is soon morphed into the neo-con language of opportunity. What is needed, modern feminism argues, is not a reduction of the vast gap between rich and poor, but a chance for some women to become Michelle Mone or Ann Gloag. It is not about good conditions for all, but the removal of glass ceilings for high paid feminist journalists or political hacks.
Feminism has become the main attack tool in the neo-con ideological arsenal. I am sceptical the concept can be redeemed from this.
“Freelance nuclear shills, such as the odious James Hansen and the clownish George Monbiot, have left carbon footprints that would humble Godzilla by jetting across the world promoting nuclear energy as a kind of technological deus ex machina for the apocalyptic threat of climate change. Hansen has gone so far as to charge that “opposition to nuclear power threatens the future of humanity.” Shamefully, many greens now promote nuclear power as a kind ecological lesser-evilism.”

The problem I have with a wife like mine,,, she occasionally tells me..and even helps me to tidy up my playroom…
I must admit I have a rather large number of toys including my 3D Camera which in theory does Dolby Surround Sound…just as it comes..I also have this Zoom thing…
and for the first time in my life – I have got full dolby surround working in conjunction with my PC and my rather large TV..and I knew exactly where the Camera was…its right next to me..and I have got all the batteries…
But after everything has been tidied up…
I can’t find the charger…
And I like the band on tomorrow..and they have never played down our pub before…
I just want to see if it works..when I spin round and video the audience..and the sound from the band are coming from behind….with the guitarists in front…going round the audience freeform
I will find it
It took us about 5 years to get this band on.
What’s a little Tidy Up?
I know no one will appreciate it unless they are wearing one of these Virtual Reality Headsets,,and are out of their skulls on LSD
But the band maybe able to sell it to The USA
It seems to me they are all out of their heads…
Do you know how hard it is to video a band well – freehand
whilst drinking a pint and having a smoke?
O.K. – I am not allowed to smoke any more in the pub…
But I am going to do it as a test…
and I ain’t taking my walking stick (monopod)
It will all be close on wide angle – in your face.

“Dave Lawton, apparently you’ve had your first exposure to that obnoxious creature, the hasbarist troll.”
Yes what a troll. As ex navy myself those obnoxious sailors like that usually go over the side.
“So where are they? (The Bankers) hiding under the bedclothes waiting for the threads of civilisation to twang snap.”
The latter part of that is absolutely brilliant.
That’s what it’s like. A completely unavoidable external physical or mental force acting upon one.
That’s God, I suppose.
It’s not a choice, as such. You can kinda position yourself on a % probability of landing relatively softly in this and that circumstance and so on.
It’s jockeying. trying to get pole position, or not, as the case often is.
It’s that daily struggle for survival, but this time the gods, our elites, are feeling it themselves.
They’re not happy, and when they’re not happy they often fight.
I don’t know that the Bankers are hiding under the bedclothes.
They seem out and open to me. Everyone knows that Goldman Sachs allumni run the worlds central banks.
They’re all over the place. They’ve been talked about everywhere.
They’re the only ones who know how the whole voodoo finance system works. They created it.
No one else can fix it, or at the very least keep it limping along against the natural challenges facing it.
They’re very active.

That is obviously where the UK has gone wrong. previously it was a simple matter as an island nation to dispose of our most irritating inhabitants without recoursing to sandwiches laced with plutonium.
I should probably be the first to walk the plank. but the spooks from the mosque think I’m interesting enough to spy on. To be honest, I would rather walk the plank or eat plutonium than be monitored like a criminal by morons.
I can’t find the charger..but just remembered..and I have another one too – exactly the same and my daughter is a far better photographer than me..we can charge them up in camera via the usb extension in their handgrips
Do you guys want 3D from Two completely different points of view?? mixed in Dolby 10.2?
I just need to get them going…

The most important aspect of Sir Robert Owen’s Inquiry into the death of the objectionable Alexander Litvinenko is what it says about justice in the UK. Since 9/11 and the so-called ‘war on terror’ there have been numerous anti-terror, security and justice, and coroners acts that people can now be banged away almost indefinitely without trial. Slipped in among these is the Inquiries Act (2005) which has enabled Owen to pronounce untested qualifications into someone’s death, in this case Litvinenko’s, but it could be your mother, sister, brother, father, friend. This was formerly the duty of a coroner in open court. More here.

“The most important aspect of Sir Robert Owen’s Inquiry into the death of the objectionable Alexander Litvinenko”
More garbage from the objectionable John Goss – of course vilifying people after they have been murdered is another trait of the Putin regime and its Soviet predecessors. They even felt it necessary to prosecute Sergei Magnitsky after he had been murdered in prison.
“Slipped in among these is the Inquiries Act (2005) which has enabled Owen to pronounce untested qualifications into someone’s death, ”
Perhaps Mr Goss might wish to enlighten us as to evidence from the FSB is dealt with in the Russian legal system – it shows naivety beyond belief if he thinks security services are going to be required to present details of their activities in open court, much though haters of the British state and supporters of self confessed terrorists may want them to do so.
“More garbage from the objectionable John Goss – of course vilifying people after they have been murdered is another trait of the Putin regime and its Soviet predecessors.”
You should see what his father has to say about him if he actually did work for MI5/MI6. He does not blame Putin.

His younger brother thinks our secret services killed him. None of them think that Lugovoy had anything to do with his death.
http://rusnext.ru/news/1453452265
But whatever the truth Owen’s Inquiry did not get near it and the purpose of my article is to show how former due-process has disappeared. It does not surprise me that you are happy to accept the derogation of due process, especially when the outcome is your ‘Blame Putin’ meme.
http://rusnext.ru/news/1453452265
You of course miss the central point about security services not giving details of their activities in open court – either here or in Russia. You also ignore the point about Lugovoi and Kovton being rewarded and protected by Putin.

“Just look at how the Putinistas have come out to divert and distract in order to protect their man. Perhaps it is worth noting that one of their number David Lawton has already professed to outing CIA spies while leaving the KGB ones in place – so it is quite clear where his loyalties lie. As to the cause of Litvinenko’s death – perhaps Putin’s bottom feeders should note that there was a post mortem – but as always their beliefs will be based on prejudice rather than facts.”
…………………………………………………………………………………………………..
From the Daily Mail:
“Two days before his death medics decided ‘on a hunch’ [ON A HUNCH?] to carry out specific tests which showed up polonium-210 poisoning.
“Another pathologist, Dr Benjamin Swift, said diagnosis was difficult because it was the ‘only case in the world’. ‘It would not have been forefront in the thought process of anyone and would not have been identified in routine toxicology,’ he said.
“Ben Emerson QC, representing the Litvinenko family, suggested it would be a good poison for anyone who wanted the cause of death to go undetected.
“He said: ‘The rarity of polonium-210 agent makes it so hard to detect. He was dying slowly over 23 days. It was not until the last day of his life polonium was identified.”
…………………………………………………………………………………….
Medic 1: I’m baffled by this case.
Medic 2: I know. Why don’t we test for Polonium 210 poisoning?
Medic 1: Why? There’s never been a case of that ever in the world!
Medic 2: It’s a hunch I have.
..he actually did work for MI5/MI6…

If you bothered to read properly you will see that the hunch could have been that the poisoning was with radioactive material and that Polonium 210 was only revealed subsequently as being the agent. Perhaps you should also read the 300+ page inquiry report rather than relying on snippets from the Daily Mail filtered through some dubious website or other.
“He added that if it was true and Aleksandr, once a security officer with the Russian special service FSB, had defected to British intelligence, the Russians may have had a right to kill him as a traitor. ”
This is the reported morality of Litvinenko’s father – which I daresay is shared by Goss, who has hypocritically claimed in the past to hold Christian morality.
“Medic 1: I’m baffled by this case.
Medic 2: I know. Why don’t we test for Polonium 210 poisoning?
Medic 1: Why? There’s never been a case of that ever in the world!
Medic 2: It’s a hunch I have.”
Litvinenko’s younger brother thinks our secret services killed Berezovsky’s employee not with polonium 210 but perhaps uranium and the polonium was added as an afterthought. I don’t think our secret services or the Russian secret services would poison someone with any nuclear product. The only thing that makes sense (unless the traces of polonium 210 were added afterwards) is that Litvinenko, Lugovoy, Kuvton and Scaramella were mules for the super-rich oligarch Berezovsky – traces were found at his house too. But without an inquest there is no chance of getting at the truth.
“..he actually did work for MI5/MI6…”
There is little doubt that he did – read the inquiry report. That of course still doesn’t justify his murder, much as you and others may think it does.
Goss
The whole series of events leading to the diagnosis are given in the report – might I suggest you actually read the evidence. As pointed out before your mules theory is just ridiculous given the subsequent treatment of lugavoi and Kovton – hey but keep saying it if that is what your masters want. Divert and distract.
“Litvinenko’s younger brother thinks our secret services killed Berezovsky’s employee”
And the father thinks that the KGB did it because he was a traitor. Perhaps the relatives in Russia are operating on the same evidence light basis as yourself Mr Goss – they at least have the excuse that they are probably under some pressure from the FSB.
