[These
are my views as a woman living in England, on how the culture and
spirit of my country has changed over 50 years. Why the country does
not feel protected or strong any more, how it has lost, and is losing
it values and decency, and how we are daily losing our free speech.]
“Those
who cry the loudest are not always the ones who are hurt the most”
– Aesop
Just
for once, I didn’t have to be personally present to witness
or understand the anger at the Women’s anti-Trump march recently
held in London. I have suffered with frustration and anger, I have
seen the damage it can cause, and I also recognise it in others. It
is an ugly spirit. It is usually loud, indignant and demanding; sometimes
it hides behind a quiet demeanour, victim hood, tears, or a painted
smile. There is a lot of it about.
However,
with barely one foot through the front door of The White House, it
still came as a bit of a surprise that an exaggerated 100,000 angry
women’s voices would be on him like a ton of bricks from this
side of the Atlantic, and that the event would be heavily covered
through all of our mainstream media. The new president of the United
States, is suddenly not only responsible for offending the minority
of voters in the USA, and creating world division; but he is now apparently
responsible for every woman’s anguish here in the UK and across
the world as well. I hope he has broad shoulders.
Jumping
on the bandwagon of what some call group solidarity for all those
people who think they are marginalized or feel deeply offended by
laws being implemented on the other side of the Atlantic; there were
plenty of others across the nation, from the comfort of their own
home, who were being empowered by joining in with the criticism, the
hatred, and the disbelief directed towards the new president of the
United States who they consider to be against women and also very
racist towards immigrants. I heard it in the workplace, in shops,
at friend’s homes, and witnessed the sudden outage of indignation
verbalizing itself at every conceivable moment. It was quite astonishing
to hear that once more, especially after the Brexit result, and to
see it displayed amidst the quiet acceptance and respect that many
others felt towards the majority of voters in the USA.
Yet
my observations came not only from watching the display of female
anguish marching through the streets of London, believing they spoke
for the nation, but from asking why this very large group of protestors,
if they were concerned about women, were not directing their energy
against the real perpetrators of abuse in our society today? There
are plenty of them about. What has Donald Trump had to do with it?
Sometimes,
it’s not those women who cry loudest who are the ones who are
most hurt…….They are usually the ones who are most wrong.
Was
Donald Trump acting as a catalyst for something else; an unhealed
anguish deeply forgotten and buried? Why haven’t we witnessed
such hatred for male leaders; home and abroad before?
Why
did this anger turn itself against one man, without looking at its
own guilt, and the wrong compromises it has already made with evil
within its own home?
Silent
Witness – The Missing Women
If
demonstrators were upset about the unfair way that women are treated,
I wondered why they were not around when just one British woman bought
out a private prosecution against 2 male doctors who were discovered
carrying out abortions on unborn baby girls in the UK, based purely
on their gender. With an estimated 100,000,000 missing women based
solely on the practice of gendercide across the world, it should surely
be something worth speaking out against.
What
a wonderful platform some of those speakers in that demonstration
could have had to highlight that abuse in our own country. [Link]
Silent
Witness – The Invisible Mother
I
wondered if 100,000 demonstrators will march or speak out on the removal
of the name ‘mothers’ which is now being called for by
the BMA, (The British Medical Association), who have issued official
internal guidelines to all of its members to implement and refer to
a new mother as a ‘pregnant person’, thus removing the
unique gift, joy and privilege of being called a mother; in order
to not offend others.
The
guidelines also promote the new title of Mx which can be used instead
of Miss, Ms, Mrs or Mr. It will not be a Happy Mx Day when that suggestion
finally takes a hold.
The
road to genderless, non descript, non identifiable ‘nobodies’
is upon us. Will we question or blindly comply with these instructions?

Silent
Witness – The Invisible Child
I
wondered why 100,000 demonstrators have not vocally objected in the
streets to the sexualizing of children through the promotion of soft
porn through music videos, where a little girls ambition in life has
now become demoted to using the power of her assets to become a sex
symbol like Rhianna, Beyonce or Britney and little boy’s are
trained early to see girls as pure objects for their desire?
Passing
their antics off as powerful and liberating is an insult to women,
but more alarmingly it is feeding a more sinister and abusive agenda
to make sex and provocative behaviour in children, especially little
girls, much more acceptable.
It
was interesting to see some of the more provocative female celebrities
being the ones to shout the loudest in some of the organized marches
across the world.
Silent
Witness – Human Chattel
However,
most of all I have wondered why those 100,000 demonstrators have not
focused their energy into something which would be helpful and expose
the evil of human trafficking in the UK, the rising number of rapes
across Europe, child slavery, child brides, forced marriage, honour
based violence, and FGM, (female genital mutilation) which is highlighted
as a cultural problem and where it is estimated that the number of
girls and women who have undergone FGM in the UK is estimated to vary
from anything from 66,000 to 280,000 with between 7,000 to 24,000
girls under 17 years of age at risk?
The
slogan currently being used to highlight FGM is No Voice – No
Choice.
As
the Women’s anti-Trump movement in the UK now takes a stance
against his restrictions on immigration and travel to the USA, with
demonstrations up and down the country in many of the major cities,
I refer to two of the many signs that I have witnessed in these rallies
which reads:
‘Kindness
is Everything’
‘Your cannot unify with Hate’
Promoting
humanism in a country which is already divided, not through the efforts
of Donald Trump, but by another system which has purposefully overcrowded
one culture with another culture, people are already aware that their
kindness has been mis-used.
Apart
from genuine immigrants and refugees who have integrated over many
years into the UK, who are friends to the UK, and consider themselves
British; unfortunately there are many legal and illegal immigrants
who are not so friendly now living within our society.
Many
places in Europe have fallen backwards and become unrecognisable;
there are many places where people, especially women, are very afraid
to visit. There is no kindness or unity there.
An
area known as Tower Hamlets is known to be one of the most dangerous
places for women and girls in the east end of London.
Tower
Hamlets is also known as one of the ‘no-go’ areas which
are reportedly existing throughout the United Kingdom where people
do not feel safe or protected anymore.
In
an article by Soeren Khan from the Gatestone Institute in relation
to European ‘no-go’ zones, fact or fiction; here are some
of the comments from people who speak out against some of the areas
which now populate the British Isles.
The
article also speaks about how many people are desperately leaving
some areas in which they feel that the British law, culture and values
are being dominantly displaced by cultures which want to police themselves
and others, rather than follow the law of the land. [Link]

“There are some communities born under other skies who will
not involve the police at all… there are communities from other
cultures who would prefer to police themselves.” — Sir
Tom Winsor, chief inspector of the police forces in England and Wales.
• “We are sleepwalking our way to segregation.
We are becoming strangers to each other and leaving communities to
be marooned outside the mainstream.” — Trevor Phillips,
former chairman of the Commission for Racial Equality.
• “One of the results of [multiculturalism]
has been to further alienate the young from the nation in which they
were growing up and also to turn already separate communities into
‘no-go’ areas where adherence to this ideology [of Islamic extremism]
has become a mark of acceptability.” Michael Nazir-Ali, former
Bishop of Rochester.
• “There are things that I see when I’m
driving around Birmingham that shouldn’t be happening. I only drive
into these areas, never actually walk into these areas, I just wouldn’t.
Just in case I did do something that…because of their culture or
their religion it was a threat or it was an insult or something.”
— Resident of Birmingham.
Who
will fill the Void?
The
protestors in the Women’s anti-Trump march I fear are being
used in varying ways. An out-of-control reaction, an anger, by the
protesters is creating an irrational and biased attack upon a president
who may be initially daring to prioritize the safety of his own fellow
citizens first, and it is also acting as a distraction against some
of the real issues that we should all be talking about and not be
shouted down upon in our own country. It is not racist to highlight
such problems.
The
real anguish which some women feel is that they do not feel safe,
or protected in society. They feel badly let down by men, even the
good ones. It was all very well to march in large numbers through
a relatively safe street in London. It is not so nice to walk alone
in places of society where no one cares for you.
 When
we no longer identify or respect the specific and special roles that
each of the sexes possess, society becomes demoralized so low that
it loses all respect for itself and each other, and becomes very weak.
It does not recognise genuine strength, love or grace.
You
can sense and see the growing weakness and lack of character and identity
all around. Who is it that is orchestrating the demise of mankind
and why do we have to be considered unkind to object to it?
Will
men and women unite together and value their role in society, protect
their children and stand up to evil in a rational way without falling
prey to the political correctness and humanism which is destroying
people?
Out
of control anger, like over the top kindness, can kill people. The
women’s anti-trump demonstration was a weak attempt at the countries
collective failure to show true strength and kindness in the correct
proportion when it should have done a long long time ago. Leaders
have let us down.
Is
it to late to turn back to a dignity now lost….?
