Ok, I think I've finally fallen in. I get it. On the first of January 1808, the importation of slaves to the U.S. was officially banned. Oh, to be sure black people were mis-treated and generally considered second class citizens in the south for a very long time.
So white men could no longer own black men and women and those same men and women no longer had to take the name of the slave owner.
Women, on t'other hand, aren't there yet. Not in the southern states of the U.S.A. at any rate. Firstly, they frequently still take the name of their husband. No, I mean the FULL name, Christian name and all. Ah, that should be secondly, because FIRST firstly, a case has just been successfully prosecuted in Mississippi where a woman's second husband was sued for her theft from the first husband. He was awarded $750K and the verdict was upheld by the Supreme Court.
So there ya go.
I see that another British Tory, mayor of a town - or city - called Mirfield, has angered local and in fact national Muslims with a number of generalisations about them,
"'The policy of clothing the feminine population of Dewsbury in black sack-like clothing from head to toe, the occasional trip out to cause mayhem with explosives and the proposal that all those of homosexual persuasion should be killed by shooting or other means is adequate and practical testimony to the level of progress being made in this direction.' "
The response from the Muslim community has been that he must be removed from office because he is a bigot. And surely anyone can see why.
It's just that......
Well, you know, the burqa and the homosexual thing. Really, both of those are true and they are both examples of bigotry. And they don't bother to deny either of those.
Hmm...tricky one eh?

Property and Control.
Your Dad 'Giving You Away' at your wedding is about the transfer of property.
Witch burnings were about women not 'Under the control' of a man.
Most being unmarried or widowed.
Control.
Yep, yer right. Stinks. And we must challenge it and stop it.
undermining a race's emancipation and insulting a collective of religious people. It is all in a day's blog for janis.
I would like to disagree with the former comment - I am sure Janis is not doing these things intentionally.
How has a "Race's emancipation" been undermined? and how has Janis (Capital J, Din), by quoting a Tory MP, insulted a 'Collective of religious people'?
Thank you Sleepy.
I think someone needs to be sent a 'Little Book of Boris' (and an English grammar) and I think someone might be receiving such in the post quite soon.
I have also never heard Muslims declaring themselves to be a race either.
emancipation of the slaves - Africans are the race, Muslims are the collective of religious people. I love that neither of you can really challenge the point i made but instead insult apparent poor grammer. playground stuff. both of you are overlooking the points janis made if you cannot understand the points i made. thank you!
