Traditional Depictions of Mothers to be Banned in Adverts From Next Year Amid Ongoing War On ‘Gender Stereotypes’

Via Breitbart

Cooking, cleaning mums will be banned in advertisements across the UK from next year, following a study which claimed traditional gender roles are “harmful and outdated”.

The decision to tighten regulation was announced by the Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP) this week, after a report published in summer identified gender stereotypes in adverts as a driver of inequality between men and women.

“Wherever they appear or are reinforced, gender stereotypes can lead to mental, physical and social harm which can limit the potential of groups and individuals,” the Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) alleged in its study.

U.S. and U.K. Continue to Actively Participate in Saudi War Crimes, Targeting of Yemeni Civilians

Guest Post by Glenn Greenwald

From the start of the hideous Saudi bombing campaign against Yemen 18 months ago, two countries have played active, vital roles in enabling the carnage: the U.S. and U.K. The atrocities committed by the Saudis would have been impossible without their steadfast, aggressive support.

The Obama administration “has offered to sell $115 billion worth of weapons to Saudi Arabia over its eight years in office, more than any previous U.S. administration,” as The Guardian reported this week, and also provides extensive surveillance technology. As The Intercept documented in April, “In his first five years as president, Obama sold $30 billion more in weapons than President Bush did during his entire eight years as commander in chief.”

‘Transgender lessons’ to be given to nursery children as young as two

Via Evening Standard

Drag queens are being brought into nursery schools for storytelling sessions to teach children from the age of two about issues such as gender fluidity.

Bristol-based organisation Drag Queen Story Time (DQST) runs reading sessions with ‘queer role models’ for young children in schools, libraries and hospitals.

Launched by Bristol University Law graduate Thomas Canham, the project aims to teach children about transgender issues through storytelling, in addition to misogyny, homophobia and racism.

The 26-year-old was inspired to set up the project after learning about a similar scheme in the US named Drag Queen Story Hour.

WE WOULD ALL BE IN JAIL IN THE U.K.

If they arrested every TBP commenter who posted an “offensive” comment they would arrest 3,395 people in a week. Every other comment is offensive to someone. Jesus Christ, what has happened to the UK? And how long before it happens here? We know firsthand this story is true. HollyO arrived on TBP and wrote a couple fantastic articles and was fined and threatened by the UK police into silence. The 1984 surveillance state has arrived in the UK. The UK police can blow me. Is that considered offensive?

British Police Arrest At Least 3,395 People for ‘Offensive’ Online Comments in One Year

Police

British police forces arrested at least nine people a day for “offensive” online comments last year.

Figures obtained by The Times through the Freedom of Information Act reveal that 3,395 people across 29 forces were arrested last under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, which makes it illegal to intentionally “cause annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another”, in 2016.

The true figure is likely to be significantly higher, as thirteen police forces refused to provide the requested information and two did not provide usable data.

Nice Government Ya Got Here, Shame If Something Happened to It

Guest Post by Revanchist

The dust of the snap election hasn’t settled though it no longer chokes me as it did on the day. I didn’t care to read the cheering from liberals and the jeering of the rest of the world, so disconnected the landline and did useful things like stacking firewood and tending the garden.

The air up here on blustery days is like being popped in the chops with a wet mackerel, but when the sun appears the breeze is sweet and clean and scented with fifty-thousand shades of green. From this height I can peek through my fingers and watch the world unspool. From this remove I can take the consensus experience of life just the way I like it: in small, controlled doses.

My shelter is a stone cottage with rising damp and falling plaster. My sitting room door is older than America. I heat one room with a cast-iron wood burner and dry my clothes on a line strung above it. I don’t travel. Don’t dine out. Carry no debt. Take no dole. Own no mobile phone, television or alarm clock. I earn below the poverty line so pay nothing to Inland Revenue; this suits me since I won’t contribute to a system which exists these days only to self-replicate like slime mould.

Stop Lying To Us

Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter

The most significant revelation that came out of the most recent London massacre of disarmed British subjects was not the bloodshed itself, but the pathetic sissy whining, in the midst of throats being slashed, at the Brit who refused to adhere to the comforting lie that the Muslims doing the slashing in the name of Allah were not Muslims doing the slashing in the name of Allah.

The left would rather you lie and die than tell the truth and live.

It’s exhausting being lied to 24/7 about the big issues, and don’t start with the “but what about Trump?” nonsense because…well, what about Trump?

SUBMISSION TO DIVERSITY = THE END

Guest Post by Ol’ Remus

Last year the people of London knowingly elected a Moslem as Mayor. Early this year his fellow Moslems murdered many of their kids in Manchester with a bomb. This Saturday night they—diversities named Khuram Shazad Butt and Rachid Redouane—killed and mowed down their “fellow” Londoners with a van and butchered them with knives. .

In response, Sadiq Khan, the duly elected Mayor, said there’s no reason to be alarmed by these events and the massive police presence. Good advice. London insisted they have diversity, now they have diversity. I, for one, am not alarmed.

Berlin police RAID APARTMENTS and ARREST residents for ‘anti-refugee’ social media posts

Censorship in Europe is out of control and in Berlin things are getting downright scary.

According to a report on Breitbart, Berlin Police conduced a large scale raid on internet users Wednesday and ransacked ten different apartments.

Mobile phones, narcotics and weapons were confiscated. Nine suspects, aged 22-58, were arrested and are accused of posting messages critical of migrants, migrant helpers and anti-semitic slogans on Facebook and Twitter.

RELATED: UK police hope arresting man for ‘offensive’ Facebook post about refugees ‘sends a message’

Police spokesman Stefan Redlich said that while the men did not know each other, they shared anti-migrant views and were considered by police to be “right-wing extremists”. There was no evidence of a planned conspiracy to commit crime among them.

Redlich justified the raids by saying they were potentially “people who just once expressed their hate-opinion.”

Of course, as we’ve documented in the past, Facebook and other social media sites have been actively censoring opinions that go against Angela Merkel and the German government’s view on refugees.

UN Rules Julian Assange is “Arbitrarily Detained”

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention has ruled that Wikileaks’ Julian Assange has been arbitrarily detained by the “democratic” governments of Sweden and the UK and is entitled to his freedom and compensation for detention by the two “democratic” governments.

At the beginning of Assange’s arbitary detention, I said that the detention was in violation of the rights of asylum and is akin to the Soviet Government’s refusal to allow Cardinal Mindszenty free passage from the US Embassy in Hungary when he was granted political asylum by the US government. I pointed out that in our time Washington now behaves like the Soviet dictatorship half a century ago.

The illegal actions of the Swedish and UK governments were on the orders of Washington, the corrupt government of which is determined to get Assange for publishing leaked documents revealing the criminality and mendacity of the US government.

Washington and its UK vassal claim to be defenders of the rule of law, but, of course, both governments are lawless. We will see if the rulihg has any effect on the behavior of “the two great champions of liberty.” My prediction is that the gang of criminals in Washington will not allow its vassal governments to abide by the UN decision. I hope that I am wrong.

It’s Not Your Money

Guest Post by

corbyn Jeremy

Jeremy Corbyn, the new head of the British Labour Party, is really a Communist. He is not championing a minimum wage, but a MAXIMUM WAGE. He is advocating that no individual should be allowed to earn more than whatever he feels is appropriate. These people view one simple fact: whatever money you earn is not yours, it belongs to the state. I was in Canada and there was some socialist woman on TV being interviewed and she said that openly. It is not your money, it belongs to the state. They merely decide how much you are allowed to keep. I was dumbfounded she actually said that in public whereas I hear that all the time behind closed doors. Nothing belongs to you is their actual true belief.

3-Year-Old London Child Deemed “Extremist” and Placed in Government Reeducation Program

Guest Post by Michael Krieger

The United Kingdom has gone batshit crazy. There’s simply no other way to put it. I warned about Britain’s “war on toddler terrorists” earlier this year in the post: The War on Toddler Terrorists – Britain Wants to Force Nursery School Teachers to Identify “Extremist” Children. Here’s an excerpt:

Nursery school staff and registered childminders must report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists, under counter-terrorism measures proposed by the Government.

The directive is contained in a 39-page consultation document issued by the Home Office in a bid to bolster its Prevent anti-terrorism plan.

The document accompanies the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill, currently before parliament. It identifies nurseries and early years childcare providers, along with schools and universities, as having a duty “to prevent people being drawn into terrorism”.

Never fear good citizens of Great Britain. While your government actively does everything in its power to protect criminal financial oligarchs and powerful pedophiles, her majesty draws the line at toddler thought crime. We learn from the Independent:
