EXCLUSIVE – @JeremyCorbyn made several appearances between 2013 and 2015 on a TV channel (Islam Channel) that had previously been censured by Ofcom for encouraging violence against women and advocating marital rape……
In one such programme broadcast by the Islam Channel in 2009, a presenter stated, "it shouldn't be such a big problem where the man feels he has to force himself upon the woman".
In another case, women who wear perfume outside of their homes were described as “prostitutes”. You can read more about the allegations and the case here -

This wasn’t the only time that the Islam Channel found itself in trouble. In 2008 a female employee was awarded £25,000 after an employment tribunal found that she had been unfairly dismissed and had suffered sexual discrimination and harassment.

Also in 2010, the channel was accused of giving a platform to Anwar al-Awlaki, the extremist preacher and senior Al-Qaeda figure.
The channel’s website was found to have carried adverts for a box set of DVDs of Awlaki's sermons and for at least two events at which the cleric was due to be the speaker via a video link.

Awlaki has been in the news recently due to his role in inspiring the London Bridge attacker Usman Khan. Awlaki has been a pre-eminent influence in radicalising and inspiring several violent jihadist attacks over the past 15 years.
The channel was also found in 2010 to have been in breach of the UK broadcasting code by Ofcom after it ruled the channel to have an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas bias.

Remember, all these cases were PRIOR to @JeremyCorbyn making his appearances on the channel including in one case hosting a programme. Did he receive payment from the Islam Channel for doing so?
@JeremyCorbyn’s willingness to engage with extremist elements means that he’s been involved with individuals and organisations who not only discriminate against Jews, but against women also. END

EXCLUSIVE – IN 2015 @JeremyCorbyn labelled UK anti-terror laws as “very draconian” and attacked the British Security Services, suggesting that there should be less protections for them. How can this man be trusted to keep us safe?

Watch below 👇👇👇
The comments were made in the wake of the January 2015 Paris terrorist attacks in which 12 people were killed at the Charlie Hebdo offices and 4 Jews were murdered a few days later in a kosher supermarket.
In fact, @JeremyCorbyn appeared on the programme only 3 days after the kosher supermarket attack. What did he talk about? Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians.

WATCH – In 2017, praising minority community media, @JeremyCorbyn engages in antisemitic tropes saying that Jewish newspapers in 18th/19th/early 20th century helped keep the UK Jewish community “powerful” and “in a position to influence the politics of the environment they’re in”
This was a strange form of praise that he didn’t apply to any other minority community in his comments.
Corbyn rightly says that community newspapers help keep minority communities together & maintain their culture. He name-checks Jewish, Irish, African, Asian and Caribbean communities but the Jewish community is the *only* one he says has power and influence through its media.

Trump’s WORLDWIDE Effect on the Global Reproductive Rights of Women

Trump and his conservative Christian-centric administration are using positions of authority to impose religious policies on long-established reproductive rights that put women around the world at risk.
Background

Ronald Reagan signed the Mexico City Policy in 1984. This sweeping mandate against reproductive freedom around the globe denied,

“US federal funds to any organisation involved in providing abortion services overseas or counselling women about them.”
Though revoked by every Democrat and reinstated by every Republican
since, Trump has taken up the cause with renewed vigor.

Every time the global gag has been reimposed by a Republican president, rates of back street and self-administered abortions have increased.

Not sure why reporters are downplaying the horrors via bogus fact checks…

According to Amnesty International, 60% of migrant women and girls are raped while migrating, while other data indicate that 80% of women experience rape and sexual assault during the migration process.
2. The article associated with that “fact check” states “border kidnappings occur on rare occasions”

Uh…Criminal groups in Mexico kidnap more than 20,000 migrants each year, including women and children and then contact families or relatives (some who may be in US) for ransom.
3. 43% of detained migrant women interviewed were victims of extortion in Mexico, and of the migrants from Central America, the majority had experienced extortion. Migrants whose families are unable to pay may be killed. Migrants may also face torture and abuse.

@SurvivorsnetBtn @RASASC_London @survivorstrust @Danvers07943910 @ObjectUK @BrightonSurvivorsNET “In the light of a highly disturbing increase of #transphobia locally & nationally…” IF everything anybody says or does is #transphobia, of course you can say it is rising. Any reputable statistics?
