By Philip Davies: I thank everyone who has participated in this debate.
We have heard some fantastic speeches. The hon. Member for Coventry
North East (Colleen Fletcher) made a fantastic speech. I was very
interested and pleased to hear about the excellent work of It Takes
Balls to Talk. My hon. Friend the Member for Mole Valley (Sir Paul
Beresford) made a typically fantastic speech, even though he had to
admit that Australia was ahead of us in some ways. I am sure it was a
painful thing for him to have to admit, but we are grateful to him for
pointing it out.
The hon.
Member for Rutherglen and Hamilton West (Margaret Ferrier) made a
terrific speech highlighting the work that Breathing Space does in her
area. I am delighted that she has had the opportunity to mention that.
Likewise, my hon. Friend the Member for Eastleigh (Mims Davies) made a
passionate and impressive speech, and
again I am delighted that she was able to highlight Men’s Sheds and
Movember, even though I will not be participating in the latter—much to
everyone’s relief.
I am
sorry that the hon. Member for Ochil and South Perthshire (Ms
Ahmed-Sheikh) rather trivialised today’s debate by talking about women
instead of men. I am sure the fact that she thinks international men’s
day is every day is very little comfort to the 134,554 men who have
committed suicide over the last 30 years. I found that regrettable.
Finally,
I am pleased that we agreed on one thing—equality. I believe in gender
equality, and I very much hope that after this debate, men and women
will be treated equally by the courts when they get sentenced.
By Mike Buchanan, J4MB: Our thanks to two whiny, gormless, toxic feminist MPs – Paula Sherriff
(Labour) and Tasmina Ahmed-Sheikh (SNP) – for getting mentions of the
second International Conference on Men’s Issues, our party, and our awards for whiny / gormless / toxic / lying feminists into Hansard.
