From handing over the Chagos Islands to compensating Gerry Adams, Starmer's decisions owe more to human rights lawyers than sound politics. He needs to sack his chum Lord Hermer before he shipwrecks his Government.

One figure that has been repeatedly cited in the grooming gangs debate is that 1 in 73 Muslim men in the town of Rotherham has been prosecuted for grooming gang offences. However, this figure is slightly misleading.

Are you anti-Bush or just anti-Family?

category national | anti-war / imperialism | opinion/analysis author Monday June 21, 2004 14:58author by Roger Eldridge - National Men's Council of Irelandauthor email eldridgeandco at eircom dot netauthor phone 071 96 67138 Report this post to the editors

Why is the media not telling us about Bush's pro-family activities.

President Bush has been castigated by the media, ostensibly for his war-mongering.
However how much of the hysteria being whipped up by the media, especially by RTE is because he is being so successful at restoring family values to the US and RTE 's agenda is vehemently anti-family.

How much of the violent opposition to President Bush is actually aimed at him because of his pro-family, pro-life stance?

I ask this because RTE has steadfastly refused to allow the people of Ireland who are the strongest pro-marriage and anti-abortion citizens in the world to receive the great news that Bush is personally responsible for

* signing into law the banning of the partial -birth abortion procedure whereby the baby's head is spiked on its travel through the birth canal. The introduction of this law was the last act of President Clinton. He is pushing for legislation to overturn Wade v Roe and so reverse the free availability of abortion in the US.

* the authorisation of 8 billion dollars to strengthen marriage and the family based on marriage. To date he has turned around the rise in teenage unmarried mothers and has achieved a sharp reduction in the divorce rate.

* he has promoted and funded teenage sexual abstinence programmes which are finding great support from the American youth

He has done this because he is a Christian and sees clearly that the common good requires it.

He obviously also felt that defeat of Sadam Hussein was for the common good.

The jury is still out as to whether that will prove to have been an accurate assessment.

In the meantime with Ireland suffering from the fastest rise in family breakdown in the west I ask why it is that the media are only focussing on Bush's foreign policy and are trying to keep us ignorant of his domestic policies which Ireland would benefit enormously from following.

It makes me wonder whether the media are whipping up anti-Bush hysteria simply because they and RTE in particular have such an anti-marriage agenda.
