MP speaks against the domestic violence bill

He should be in Ukip anyway.

Do me a favour, join the local Conservative party and lobby to get him deselected.

Any know if there's a petition going to get Philip Davies booted off the Women and Equalities Committee? If if not we need to start one.

Well in that case hopefully he'll find himself booted out come next election.

Stuart maconie in his very funny book about the north writes how whenever he is confronted with this particular type of gobshite he just shrugs and says "Yorkshireman". Little as I like endorsing regional bigotries I am tempted to folllow his example in this case.

The guy has a history for this type of crap.

He also (successfully) filibustered a bill giving carers free hospital parking. He also spoke out against a bill requiring landlords to make homes fit for human habitation. I can not stand that man.

Yup, the demographic of white middle class privileged man is deeply under-represented on every single board, committee, in parliament and pretty much everywhere else, the poor unloved things. I one day wish that women have that level of disenfranchisement. I can totally see why he feels disaffected with the whole fucking world being set up for his benefit.

He's my fucking mp. Total arse hole.

I think we should get Davies on an MN web chat. . He can have his white middle.class views aired because clearly white middle class men aren't getting enough of a say if he feels disenfranchised.

Seriously though this what happens when male privilege is attacked or even (as in the case of the Women and Equalities Committee) we ask quite nicely for women's views to be taken into consideration. I don't think his voice is in any danger of being silenced Dervel.

I have a constructive suggestion. How about the esteemed Mr Davies brings in his own bill to deal with violence against men?

Funny how these MRA types never seem to get off their arses and do stuff to help their own sex, but simply scream "s'not fair" when women do the donkey work to help themselves.

I suppose he considers it all part of Wifework for women to look after men as well as themselves and do the hard graft for them as it's so much easier (and high profile) for the Davies' of the world to stand on the sidelines whinging.

Perhaps we should suggest Mr Davies opens up a refuge for men? After all, it would be far more constructive than the ideas he is likely to contribute to the equalities commission.

What an entitled knob.

What demographic feels disaffected and disenfranchised by the domestic violence bill?

Shoot me down by all means, but he represents a demographic which include a number of people who feel dissaffected and disenfranchised. Refusing to engage and silencing people you disagree with doesn't make them go away. When that happens bad feelings fester then it rises up with things like Brexit and Trump.

Don't give him the oxygen of publicity. To quote the lovely Linda Smith, I'm not that happy with him having the oxygen of oxygen.
