From an article on how the EVIL GOVERNMENT is going to tell children that domestic violence is bad:
Surely if you insist on lessons to teach small children it is wrong for men to hit women, then you are implying that all men are a potential menace. Won't the end result be the kind of moral indoctrination that teaches all infants how to hate men?
Wuh? Similarly, we should not tell children that it is wrong for people to murder each other, lest they grow up to hate humans.
One of the real problems to face women in this country is honour crime. Is the Government addressing this properly? No, of course not. They are far too terrified of upsetting any ethnic minority to tackle the issue.
No! The government is doing nothing about this rather rare and nasty crime, except prosecuting the perpetrators! Not good enough! They should probably set fire to some foreign-looking people, or something.
I love the use of 'real problem' there; are we to infer that while 'honour crime' (~12 victims per year in the UK) is a real problem facing women, conventional domestic violence (millions of victims per year in the UK) is NOT?
So, basically, the message seems to be that the government is unfairly attacking PROPER ENGLISH WIFE-BEATING, when it should be concentrating on the nefarious things that The Foreigns might do.
And then there's this deranged item.
Father Christmas closes the curtains and smiles. Up close, he looks cosy and content in his thick flannel coat - edged with ermine, how daring! - with its matching trousers and shiny boots.
He smells clean and resinous, like a cold wind shimmering through a stand of pines, and his cheeks glow like apples.
So, Jan. Gays, bad. Wife-beating, good. Foreigns, bad. Pornographic fiction about Santa, good.
I don't know what possessed me to look at her articles, actually; they're just depressing.
EDIT: Ooh, I just noticed this in the wife-beating article (on the subject of how things were just fine back in the good old days when the government didn't take a position on spousal abuse:
We did not rear a nation of monsters. We did not try to invade Poland or seize the silk routes. Did we get any thanks for this? No, we did not.
Jan Moir, thank you for not being quite as bad as Hitler.
