Janice Atkinson What woman want, versus The gender, transgender and cultural wars of the West
Written by UK MEP Janice Atkinson, she gives an excoriating analysis of the politicians who pass damaging legislation that ordinary people have not sanctioned, were never in party manifestos or even discussed, the latter mainly because they have made discussions on certain subjects a hate crime.

Despite the weight of seemingly immutable monastic tradition, architecture has contributed to developing specific religious identities...
