Feminist poster by the British Union of Fascists.

Feminist poster by the British Union of Fascists. As I understand it, the British fascist movement was unusual in Europe in that it attracted a lot of former suffragettes, and so became relatively feminist by the standards of the time. In fact , it was a woman who in 1923 created the first fascist organisation in Britain. It may well have been the first time a woman had started and led any political party in this country. It brings a whole new meaning to the term Feminazi : “The weight-scale is a patriarchal concept that must be done away with. Like the Jews.” . I’m cracking myself up over here btw :)))

This dramatic story puts the news media in a jackpot.

This dramatic story puts the news media in a jackpot. Absent independent verification, reporters will have to rely upon the secret assessments of intelligence agencies to cover the story at all.

Many reporters I know are quietly freaking out about having to go through that again. We all remember the WMD fiasco.

“It’s déjà vu all over again” is how one friend put it.
