Those who care must stand up against the new authoritarians

It's been a while since I put "pen to paper" as they say even if this is an electronic form of writing. In order for a blog to build and retain a readership I am well aware that regular posts are the way forward and that although I no longer post every single day there has been an unforgivable gap in this humble attempt to comment on the world around us.

In part this has been due to my having a rethink about my political direction and therefore the aim of the blog in the current political climate and is also due to the fact I have been relaxing and indulging my hobby. My health also impacts on my output as I tire easily and sleep more during the day than perhaps I should. 

That's not to say I have not indulged in some activity especially on Facebook and a to a more limited extent on Twitter. For the umpteenth time some woke little prat has reported me to the Labour Party in order to get me either disciplined or expelled for having "transphobic" views by which they mean I stand for women's rights and don't believe women have dicks or men have cervixes. I'm sorry but these are biological truths.

How we adjust to trans-women is a question that needs serious and unfettered debate but the loud mouthed mostly male trans activists in co-operation with Stonewall are determined to impose their views on the rest of us and refuse to acknowledge concerns. Stonewall has abandoned its original remit and abandoned homosexual men and lesbians in order to pursue gender politics which tries to over-write sex and sexuality. 

Of course women's rights are likewise undermined as the definition of women and their bodies becomes transformed into a sex-less gender world where females can supposedly have lady-dicks. Lesbians are told they are "transphobic" if they refuse to sleep with individuals who retain their maleness. This madness  is referred to as the cotton ceiling.

At the same time I remain appalled at the antisemitism that shows it's ugly face on Twitter mostly pretending to be anti-Zionism. When I see a tweet that says "Only Israel abuses human rights" I despair. That Israel is not perfect like every other country in the world the ignorance and prejudice behind that comment ignores the widespread abuse of human rights from China and North Korea to across the Muslim world.

This also became a bone of contention as another twitter user tried to claim minorities were safer in Muslim countries. The persecution of Copts in Egypt, the abuse of christian and Baha'i in Iran, the vile and murderous attacks on Christians in Pakistan let alone the position of women under Islamic apartheid is all ignored. These people live in a world where only Israel is a villain and underneath so many are hard-line antisemites.

Former Labour MP Chris Williamson was tweeting the genocidal "From the River to the Sea" slogan with vicious Rachel Swindon nodding in agreement with other equally bigoted and blinkered individuals claiming to be "socialists" of some sort or another, One thought it amusing I described her views as "National Socialist" not just because they think it's just an insult but cannot see the Strasserite nature of their politics.

Many of us referred to Corbyns followers as the new Blackshirts and it's a formulation that remains applicable to so much of the far left and their allies in today's politics.  The battle against these creatures is far from over as they regroup and use social media to purse their nefarious aims.

It is the responsibility of those who care and are able to stand up and call for reason. Health willing I will now rejoin that fight wherever I can. My mobility may be limited but so long as I have a keyboard I have a voice that will not be silenced. Please join me in the fight against the threats to our freedom whether they come from the far-left, the far-right or religious extremism.

Shalom Aleichem
