Women prison estate to be cut
Thousands of women criminals will avoid jail each year under plans to cut the number of cell spaces by 400.
By Tom Whitehead, Home Affairs Editor
Published: 6:45PM GMT 14 Dec 2009
The move, to be staggered over the next three years, will see the size of the women's prison estate cut by around ten per cent and could see entire jails closed down.
It is part of the ongoing policy by Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, to reduce the number of women being jailed and increase the use of community penalties.
Mr Straw said only the most serious female criminals should be behind bars.
There are currently just over 4,800 prison places for women in England and Wales but under the Ministry of Justice plans, 300 will be cut by March 2011 and a further 100 will go by March the following year.
The savings will be spent on improving services to deal with women offenders in the community. The MoJ also announced £5 million to improve Approved Premises accommodation for women offenders who are being closely supervised on release from custody and £1 million to pilot a new project, from April 2010, to examine early intervention schemes for women when they first come in to contact with the criminal justice system.
Maria Eagle, the Justice minister, said: “We have already made good progress in taking forward our strategy to divert women from crime.
"Over the last two years I have ensured there is a specific push to direct resources to stop vulnerable women from becoming trapped in a cycle of crime.
"Women’s offending is a complex phenomenon which burden’s society, damage children and families, and creates misery for the women themselves."
I knew the UK was pussywhipped but I didn't think it was this bad. I believe it was British feminists who desired to exempt women from prison reserving that hell for men and now we see that become a reality. Gordon Brown has royally cut the balls off Britain.

Pelosi looks out for women;men are on their own
Sun Spots on Nancy's Brain?
By Carey Roberts
December 19, 2009
For sheer entertainment value, nothing beats a United Nations global warming
conference, especially if you were one of millions of Americans holed up in
sub-freezing temperatures this past week.
We knew it would turn out this way two weeks ago when local prostitutes,
disgruntled with a proposal to keep them under wraps during the high-profile
eco-fest, threatened to offer their wares for free to convention-goers. (One
only wonders if liberated female attendees would also avail themselves of the
offer?)
The carbon-neutral week kicked off according to plan as Global
Warmingist-in-Chief Al Gore, citing the research of Dr. Wieslav Maslowski,
warned summit attendees the Arctic could become completely ice-free in five
years.
But hours later Gore's claim was refuted by the good scientist himself, who
noted, "It's unclear to me how this figure was arrived at. I would never try to
estimate likelihood at anything as exact as this."
On Tuesday it was revealed that Rajendra Pachauri, head of the UN
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, is tied to a multi-national
industrial conglomerate that stands to take in hundreds of millions of dollars
by cashing in on unused carbon-offset credits:

And later that day outnumbered Danish police began clubbing rock-throwing summit
protesters like baby seals stranded on a wayward Arctic ice floe.
The following morning, Connie Hedegaard, Danish minister of climate and energy
and president of the UN conference, announced her resignation following
revelations of a secret "Danish text" being negotiated by industrialized
countries.
On Thursday morning, world leaders trudged through ankle-deep snow and
sub-freezing temperatures into the gleaming Bella Center to give their blessing
to a multi-billion dollar global transfer deal. Thereupon they gave a standing
ovation to Hugo Chavez, socialist president of Venezuela, when he blamed
capitalist avarice for the global warming menace.
All this was mere prelude as the eco-zombies awaited the arrival of House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi in her two Air Force jets, accompanied by 20 other House
lawmakers.
Leaving Washington the night before, Pelosi explained to reporters, "We see
Copenhagen as a meeting about job creation — how do we move forward to create
millions of clean energy jobs and new technologies to keep America number one?"
But turns out she was only interested in job creation for women.
Because shortly before her Thursday afternoon press conference, Pelosi banished
from the room the six Republican congressmen who had joined her on the trip.
Then she stepped to the podium to offer this ode to global warming hysteria:
"Women have the most to gain and the most to lose in the climate crisis," Pelosi
declared. "The impacts are not gender-neutral; as the primary users, managers,
and stewards of natural resources, women feel the consequences first."
The first female Speaker of the House continued with her eco-feminist musings:
"Changing agricultural conditions will hit women hardest. In most developing
countries, women produce the vast majority of the household food supply. It is
the world's grandmothers, mothers, and sisters in most countries who fetch
water, gather wood and prepare meals. As resources become more scarce, so do
opportunities for these women to attend school, tend crops, and lift themselves
out of poverty."
Really?
What consensus-driven UN report appointed women as "the primary users, managers,
and stewards" of natural resources? What data-enhanced document concluded "women
produce the vast majority of the household food supply"? And when the ice caps
melt and the Napa Valley vineyards whooshed away in a climatological apocalypse,
will men somehow manage to escape unscathed?
I'm hoping Congresswoman Pelosi will answer these questions. Here's her email:
sf.nancy@mail.house.gov or AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov Fax: 202-225-4188. And telephone:
202-225-4965.
Madame Speaker, I await your response.

That's not a bad idea. How about we all contact Polosi and protest this sexism reminding her that while she is an elected official she is to represent ALL the people not just women. Also notice how she kicked the male lawmakers who were Republicans out while she spewed her misandric hate,the mark of a coward.

Who really shot the mad psychiatrist
Ft. Hood ‘hero’ story changes
Fri Nov 13, 2:19 pm ET
Shortly after last week's Ft. Hood shooting massacre, Sgt. Kimberly Munley of the Killeen, TX, police department was widely credited as the heroic cop who brought Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's rampage to an end by shooting him four times while being wounded by gunfire herself. A Ft. Hood official told the media that the diminutive Munley, who was shot in both legs and one of her wrists, fired on Hasan twice, which then drew his attention to her, and then fired again while she was on the ground. But now it appears as though that account was inaccurate and that another Killeen police officer, Sgt. Mark Todd, was actually the person who fired the shots that brought down Hasan.
The widespread belief that Munley was the one who brought down Hasan, who survived but may be paralyzed according to his lawyer, began to unravel earlier in the week when an anonymous witness told the New York Times that he saw Todd, not Munley, bring down the Army psychiatrist as he attempted to reload his weapon. The witness said that Hasan shot Munley as she rounded a corner, knocking her to the ground. Hasan then turned his back to Munley as he attempted to put another magazine into his pistol, and it was then that Todd saw Hasan fumbling with the weapon and shot him, according to the witness.
Sgts. Munley and Todd, along with Ft. Hood officials, all declined to comment about the specifics of what happened , nor did Munley or Todd go into detail about them during a joint appearance on the Oprah Winfrey Show. But Todd's wife, Lisa, told the paper that her husband had specifically requested that the Army leave his name out of any reports on the shooting, not wanting to draw media attention to himself as the sole hero of the day because "they were both in this together." Todd's mother, Mary, also weighed in, expressing dismay that the media was "giving this woman all this credit," adding "I don't want to diminish what she did, I just hope they give him credit too."
Though the official version of events won't be available until the military releases the results of its investigation, Todd told the New York Times in an interview Thursday that it was indeed he who fired the shots that brought down Hasan. He said that he and Munley both pulled up to the scene at the same time and, after receiving fire from Hasan when they ordered him to drop his weapon, each broke in different directions. After aborting an attempt to circle the building, Todd said he headed back to the front of the building where he saw Munley wounded on the ground. He said that he then ordered Hasan to drop his weapon a second time, which again prompted the gunman to fire upon him. It was at this point that Todd told the Times that he "neutralized him and secured him."
In the aftermath of the week-long confusion over who brought down Hasan, some are not holding back in criticizing the media and the military for their roles in the chaos -- the media for not not digging deeper and thus performing their jobs properly, and the military for being too secretive. Some have even questioned whether or not there might have been a racial component involved with crediting a white woman over a black man as the day's hero. But this fact remains unchallenged: On November 5, 2009, Sgt. Kimberly Munley and Sgt. Mark Todd both risked their lives in the line of duty to try to stop an armed man in the midst a homicidal rampage, so shouldn't they both be hailed equally as heroes for doing so?

Didn't the media go all gaga over the injured female who was creditted like she was the one who saved the day. I'm sure right wing feminists wet themselves thinking she was a Zena warrior princess and other things about strong women in the military and to keep the feminist in chief happy as well. This should prove that in the war on manhood truth is the first casualty.

Man says enough
Thanks to Markymark for posting this on his blog I thought it was so cool that I would repost it here. I for one am fucking fed up with women's shit and don't blame this man at all for the action he took. Instead of being a mangina and taking her shit he stood up to her and knocked her shit out like a real man would. I hope he prevails in this case.

Another word from Roy
I just received an email from Roy Den Hollander,attorney for men and he informs me he took on VAWA in the 2nd appellant court and lost. The "justices?" ruled in favor of VAWA,citing past judgements as their reason for dismissal. I hope Roy appeals this.
