I'm in NI and thank God we will never see a Muslim mayor! Is this not the guy who referred to moderate Muslims as Uncle Toms? Yet women here seem to think he is fine? Remember you backed him, when your rights are eroded! No wonder England is going to hell in a hand-basket.
NI where the courts ruled that the law on abortion was unlawful and should be changed as it violated human rights under NI and EU law.
But there is no legal obligation to actually change the unlawful law (go figure).
So when Stormont voted on what they should do about it, they voted to do what?
Yep you've guessed it. They voted to keep the unlawful law because they are full of the joys of libertarianism. That'll be the Catholics and the Protestants just for anyone who is unclear which ones are the bigots.
And this is against a back drop of polls saying that the public of Northern Ireland want the unlawful law on abortion changed because well, its shit, unlawful and isn't a very good show for human rights.
I'm pretty sure though that a hell of a lot of that public who want that unlawful law changed still went out and voted for these virtuous bastions and advocates of human rights this week. Because NI politics are not in any way screwed up by bigots who don't give a damn about human rights because of their religion.
Yet women seem to think this is fine... and are worried about a Muslim winning a Mayor election in London and how this will affect the rights of women and other groups.
