What? Oh, you mean with
Oh, BTW, did the, um, international law situation in re. the Falkland Islands come up, at all? What with your NBF being a Harvard lawyer an' all?

'A union member told student paper Cherwell: "It is disappointing to see female members of committee campaigning on the back of gender at all...
"The suggestion that anyone should be voted in on such a basis is deeply offensive to both male and female voters and is also very damaging to the perception of the women associated with the Union.'Regards,

Would that be the ageing grammar school boy, Oxford-educated Socialist Worker polemicist and Respect Party candidate?
The comrade of the Israel-hating apologist for Islamist mass murder and friend of Saddam Hussein, Gorgeous George Galloway?

The ‘Children’s Laureate’ so warmly welcomed into the rapidly dwindling number of LEA 'schools', that is, schools controlled by the SWP/NUT/NASUWT?
Would that be the Michael Rosen who tramps the permanent-revolution road, albeit staggering under the weight of all those ‘hero of the culture war’ garlands hung about him by his academic comrades and fellow toilers in his lifelong work of commandeering the teaching of language in order to redefine it — the sine qua non of their mission to dismantle and conform all education (from primary school to university) to their Marxist-Leninist and occasionally Trotskyist agenda, so as to ensure that their cadres, apparatchiks and useful idiots crowd out opposing opinions from public discourse and form public opinion by controlling both the language of and admission to all public debate, thereby establishing their political thought as both ‘popular’ and normative in societal attitudes and public policy?

Consider, then, the dispute over gender and gender equality. Liberals do not deny that there are two biologically fixed kinds of human being—the male and the female; but they deny that there are two culturally fixed kinds of person—the masculine and the feminine. For the liberal, the division of roles, rights, and duties that conservatives defend is neither decreed by nature nor endorsed by the moral law.
The response of conservatives should be to defend this division of roles, rights, and duties for what it is—the foundation of the most important personal relation that we have, which is the relation that binds a man and a woman in marriage.
