Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin
Mary
Wollstonecraft Godwin is seen incorrectly as
the 'mother of feminism'. This is incorrect because so much of what she wrote
was in favour of the equality of women rather than merely undermining
men - which is the 'feminism' we see today.

Christians Intimidated.
British Christians intimidated into hiding their faith
 |
| Dominic Grieve |
Former Conservative Attorney General, Dominic Grieve, has suggested “an
aggressive form of secularism” in Britain is threatening to “sanitise” the
country of faith and exclude Christians from the public space.
He says he finds it extraordinary that Christians are being sacked or disciplined for expressing their beliefs in workplaces and public bodies and being forced to hide their beliefs.
He says he finds it extraordinary that Christians are being sacked or disciplined for expressing their beliefs in workplaces and public bodies and being forced to hide their beliefs.
Describing Christianity as a “powerful force for good” in modern Britain,
Mr Grieve calls on public figures not to be afraid of “doing God” and he
believes politicians have a duty to explain how their beliefs inform their
decisions.
However, during Mr Grieve's tenure as Attorney General, Government lawyers submitted to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) that Christians should leave their religious beliefs at home or move to another job when faced with a clash between the requirements of their faith and their employment.

The submission was made in landmark Christian
freedom cases brought by Christian Legal Centre clients, Shirley Chaplin and
Nadia Eweida, who had been penalised for wearing a cross at work. UK government
lawyers working for Mr Grieve told the ECHR that
the ‘freedom to resign and seek employment elsewhere’
was sufficient to guarantee the religious freedom of both women (see here). Christian Concern.
UKIP - 'A Lurch To The Right?'
Well, in one respect, the massive increase in UKIP voting is indeed
a 'lurch to the right'. That is not at all because UKIP is rightwing - no - it
is because we are 'right of centre' and the distance between us and a
Tory party dominated by 'liberal wets' is enormous. (We are more the Gladstonian
liberals of 2014.)
And what precisely is wrong with the right of centre, in any case?
- It has always been a far better bet than the left of centre to produce good
government. Now it is even more the case and better still that it is 'a non-tory
right of centre'.
If the UKIP wagon keeps on a-rollin' it will form the government in
2020.
Annuities: EU Rips Off British Pensioners.
Those retiring since 2012 are getting around 20 per cent less from an annual annuity than those outside Europe because of EU regulations. It has led to claims Britons are being ripped off, with Brussels bureaucrats once again interfering in British affairs. Under the Solvency II directive, insurance companies, including pension providers, must keep a lump sum in reserve to ensure they can always meet claims. Express.
Douglas Carswell.
The Mail is doing its customary hatchet job on anyone and anything connected to UKIP. In today's edition, Mr Carswell is descrinbed as 'disloyal' and 'a turncoat' - in spite of his awesome integrity being on display for his handling of this matter. Read online comments under items of anti-UKIP vitriol and you will see how the paper is alienating its own readership.
