White phosphorus misadventures #18 Incendiary women posting phosphorus

We have seen several instances of white phosphorus being used for suicide, and also notorious murders, but the origins of it being used for weapons of war appear to have started with so called “Fenian fire”- Irish republican terrorism from the 1860’s.

In this case, and as a forerunner to the notorious AW bombs, bottles were filled with white phosphorus in a solution of carbon disulphide. When the carbon disulphide evaporated, the phosphorus would burst into flames.

There is no doubt that political terrorism is oxygenated by something which appears harmless but can explosively combust at a particular target, and like the Irish terrorists, in the early part of the Twentieth Century, a particular group of women copied such actions in order to gain the vote, but only for a certain class of women, and we will look more closely at the main protagonists of this, three of the Pankhursts, at the end of this post.

The Suffragette movement was not of one voice. Whilst on one hand there was the non militant National Union of Women’s Suffrage Societies, run by  “Law-Abiding suffragists” leader Millicent Fawcett, this was not good enough for Emmeline Pankhurst who splintered to pursue her own ego penis envy trip with the  Women’s Social and Political Union (WSPU). 

This latter group of big hat wearing virago bints were responsible for arson attacks and indiscriminate criminal damage at targets such as Royal Mail pillar boxes, with the attacks on perceived male institutions bearing the cipher of Edward VII and then latterly George V. It is worth bearing in mind however that a woman had been on the British throne between 1867 and 1901 FFS and yet one wonders if she had lasted a few more years as to what the target would have been then?

Examples of this ill conceived action are recorded in archive newspapers, such as the one below from Guernsey Evening Press and Star 5th February 1913 edition.

Grace Burbidge had been arrested for such a crime of using liquid phosphorus to burn letters in a post box but had been burnt herself in the action- she deserved it.

Another article from the same paper of 8th April describes phosphorus again being used to target letter boxes on Bournemouth, with then Post Master General Herbert Samuel being mentioned in one scrawled message on the phosphorus package. In context, it is worth noting that this coincided with the detention of Pankhurst Senior for three years on April 2nd. Pankhurst had earlier admitted to targeting the then Chancellor David Lloyd Georges house in a terrorist attack. 

The Brighton Gazette of a day later shows how this campaign was growing around the country- probably because of agitation caused by the WSPU. In Eastbourne, several attacks had been made, with some letters addressed to prominent figures like then Prime Minister Herbert Henry Asquith as well as Lloyd George again.

 

As Christmas eve of 1913 dawned, a Brighton Gazette piece noted that the WSPU had cancelled Christmas for some people by destroying letters in Nottingham by phosphorus tubes again being put in boxes. It also shows how innocent individuals just doing their job had been burned by the stupid suffragettes.

The Pankhursts – hypocrites and the establishment

If you think that Emmeline Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel were heroines, then you have a warped and misinformed view of history. THEY DID NOT WIN THE VOTE FOR WOMEN. 

It is a strange thing that those who claim to fight perceived injustices inflicted by the establishment appear to eventually become canonised by that establishment with which they cut a deal. It is also surprising that those self appointed leaders who do so have a false history written for them, with statues and their importance exaggerated by the political establishment through the media. We have seen this with Irish Republican terrorists and their political friends as “men of peace” whilst their innocent victims have never received any justice, like those killed or injured by the  Birmingham Pub bombings for example.

The Liberal pre World War One leadership was obviously not that Liberal enough to allow universal suffrage to women, and most notably, though never usually cited, ALL MEN EITHER. To be clear, Pankhurst and her daughter Christabel were only concerned with the vote for property owning women, and those over the age of 21,  AND NOT ALL WOMEN. Why, because they were not of poor means and like most of a Liberal thinking mindset and champagne socialist Fabians, are complete fucking hypocrites and talk a good talk by using others to get what they really want for themselves. 

The WSPU campaign was not a votes for all women like street whores, but to attain equal rights for “Ladies” with the Gentlemen. It was also not a very democratic organisation, but a top down nepotistic one with the trio of Pankhursts at the head- like all political parties it seems.

But this is not the only hypocrisy with this narcissistic person who has had a false aura painted around her by latter day feminists and liberals who have invented their own perceived emancipation. Before the outbreak of war she deserted her tribe to evade arrest and by touring abroad to give rebel rousing speeches. She even gave an analogy in one in New York about being “a soldier”. FFS! I don’t think breaking windows or setting fires makes you anything but a petty criminal dear.

She was an advocate of The First World War and campaigned for “King and Country” in a conflict which sent millions of men to their deaths in trenches whilst no doubt her and her WSPU sisters treated themselves to a stand up piss with the aristocratic  bourgeois in stoneware urinals miles from any front line. How many widows with fatherless children did WW1 produce? For it is apparent that Emmeline and her daughter Christabel had done a deal with the Government which saw her and her terrorist harridans released from prison. From here, their misanthropy continued with the four feathers movement, shaming working class MEN of fighting age  into joining a pointless war between three Grandsons of the same WOMAN- Queen Victoria with the same type of political propaganda that had been advocated in women planting phosphorus in letter boxes bearing the King’s mark.

Her other daughter Sylvia, resigned from WSPU because of the violent action, and was also against the war to end all wars. Despite being “socialists”, it seems that Emmeline and Christabel were more on the National socialist part of the movement.

All direct action by WSPU stopped at the start of the war in August 1914 whilst their attacks on men continued. After the war the two main antagonists joined the Conservative party, thus establishing themselves as part of the establishment they claimed to be against.

Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst were  clear eugenicists and British Empire Imperialists, who toured Canada after the war spouting crap such as this.

One wonders how these two spiteful women compare with those of low social standing involved in the matchgirls strikes of 1888 and their leaders and how they were burned and disfigured with phossy jaw by the same chemical that the clan Pankhurst advocated posting with gay abandon?

One wonders how many women were burnt by producing phosphorus weapons at Albright and Wilson in WW1 and other factories only to receive some worthless tin medal for their “service”? 

One wonders why it is that the two of them have had statues and a bust erected in their memory within Westminster, and yet the pacifist Sylvia daughter has not?

WHY? Because history is littered with political and manipulative scum like Emmeline Pankhurst purely out for themselves who use a rights issue to whip up tensions until such a time that they cut a deal with their enemies to suit themselves. Historical monuments  infect the present day with the same thinking political people who use them as martyrs to serve their own warped cause and rewritten history that is not deserved.
