”Shock, shock horror, horror, shock, shock horror”

Police were called to Seven Sisters underground station at 8.48am today to reports of a 'serious assault'. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a man had been stabbed. He was taken to hospital with 'life-threatening injuries'.

Ho hum. Just another day in glorious multicultural London, I guess...

Many locals passing the police cars and tape expressed their shock at the incident. One woman said: 'It's unbelievable that things like this happen in broad daylight - when people are on their commute.'

Others admitted they were less surprised by what happened, with one man, who lives 'a couple streets away', stating: 'I feel like these things happen nearly everyday now.

'You start to get used to it.'

See what I mean?

Two women have been arrested on suspicion of GBH with intent. One has also been arrested on suspicion of common assault.

Oh!

No, It's Just Limiting Their Ability To Stick Their Hand In My Pocket, Rhiannon...

Here we go again. You'd think she was the only female in the world to have given birth...

Essentially what we have here is the legislating of the female body, in plain sight, yet with none of the outrage and fury that we see over abortion rights. In forcing women to choose between abortion and poverty, the policy appears specifically designed to limit women’s reproductive choices.

No, not at all. Just the ability of these women to get other people to pay for those choices. You want kids? Go right ahead. But they are an expensive proposition. 

As Sian Norris, the author of Bodies Under Siege, tells me: “The two-child policy seeks to legislate over women’s bodies, treating women’s wombs as something that can and should be arbitrated on by the state. It ties into ideas of women’s wombs being public property, which in turn links to anti-abortion ideology – ironic considering the policy is pushing some women to terminate wanted pregnancies as they can’t afford to care for a third or fourth child.”

She added: “There is a specific class-based element to this that states that if you are on a low-income, then you are not entitled to make your own decisions about pregnancy, fertility and your family.”

You're perfectly entitled to make your own reproductive choices. That hasn't changed. But make them with your own money.  

'Far Right Sympathisers' Ain't What They Used To Be..!

OMG! Has a British union partnered with such an organisation?

Who is it? The Klu Klux Klan? The Westboro Baptist Church?

Uhhhh... wait. What? Seriously? 

Yes, apparently so. This is  - of course - yet another front in the ongoing Gender Wars. The 'pre-op transexuals are women and should share your young daughter's toilet space, you bigots!' wing has decided that taking on the nation's mums is a sure-fire victory. 

And didn't one of our greatest writers once have something to say about the folly of that? Yes, I believe he did...  

Her contentions are her children,

Heaven help him who denies!

- He will meet no suave discussion, but the instant, white-hot, wild,

Wakened female of the species warring as for spouse and child.

Time, I think, to break this out:
