World Politics Just Now

Firstly, I would like to congratulate (sarcasm) Australia voting in a complete misogynist to be Prime Minister, Tony Abbott. Well done you, and a healthy step back for womens rights. This so called liberal politician has been noted for making many comments against women, even in his own party. I had wanted to visit Australia. Think I'll give it a wide berth now! I feel very sorry for the women of that country because a man like this can only do harm. Let us sit back and see just how 'liberal' he really is!

My heart goes out to the people of Mogadishu after a bomb in a restaurant killed at least 15 people!! The reastaurant, called The Village, was popular with journalists and govt workers. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-24000782

Greece is in the news at the moment as the Prime Minister says that the economy is recovering - coining the phrase 'Grecovery'. However economists are forecasting that the Greek economy will shrink a further 4.2% this year. Is Prime Minister Samaras being optimistic or is he painting a falses picture for his voters? The people of Greece do not seem inclined to agree with the PM, as protests continue on the streets.

Finally, India has a serious issue with a Calcutta hospital which has seen 30 baby deaths in the last four days. It is accused of negligence. For the full story, please see link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-india-24000951


On another note, I have written a bit of a sexy witchy/werewolfy/vampirey book (not erocita, but sexy). If you like Charlaine Harris, Carrie Vaughn, Patricia Briggs, hopefully you'll like this. It is available on kindle and now in paperback.

Conservative Party Looking More and More Anti-Women

As the Conference progresses, The Conservative party are looking more and more to be 'old boys' together now than ever before!

To add to this, Cameron has stated he is for lowering the amount of time a woman can have an abortion and Jemery Hunt has advised 12 weeks! Many women don't know they are pregnant in the first 10-12 weeks!

If this was your daughter and she was 16, had been raped, would you condemn her to being a 'suitcase' for the rest of her term because you cannot abide the thought of a woman having control over decisions regarding her own body?

Women have campaigned for decades to have rights that men have had for a very long time. There is a definite backslide in the UK just now with regards to the rights of women. It is truly disgusting and I fear it will get worse.

All this from a government that Scotland/Wales and N Ireland did not vote for!

Shame on the Tories!

On another note, I have written 3 books. 2 are part of a series set in Scoltand about the Sidhe, fairy folk. Available on kindle and in paperback:

The Island of the Mist is book 2

The Stone in the Sword is book 1

The 3rd book is an adult, sexy witchy werewolf/vampire story set in New York and featuring a strong female lead character, again available in kindle and paperback formats:

The Wolf, the Witch and the Coffin

Iran and Women

Iran is facing world disaproval over its current decisions. It has moved to omit women from universities and there is now a bill going through parliament to allow girls under the age of 10 to marry!!

This is beyond horrific - it is the legaisation of paedophilia! There is currently a petition circling facebook to stop this - going to the Iranian Parliament. However, it is expected that the views of anyone outside the country will be taken into account.

The truly disgusting thing is that the proposer of this latter law is saying that this is according to Islamic law. This is, quite frankly, a load of shit. Islam does not agree with this. This is the personal view of a sick individual who is pushing Iran back into the times of barbarians.

Some countries around the world are looking for reasons to invade Iran. They seem to be doing there damdest to give them a reason!

Islam, according to several Islamic friends of mine, does not hate women. It does not think women are second class citizems. Why then is Iran so set on dehumanising woemn, on pushing women to the back of the line and treating them as nothing more than property? This is not a country living in the 21st century.

I was so pleased to see Iran in the Olympics and Paralympics but this has jaded that pleasure. This was not a show of inclusion, this was a show that they won't back down from anything. I am sadly but utterly disgusted by the events taking place ina country I was hoping would be trying to join the rest of the world.

I pity the women of Iran.
