This story has been in a number of papers. In none of them has it been said she’ll ever be required to repay the £70,000 she fraudulently claimed after the death of her husband. And her prison sentence was just 20 months. Doubtless she won’t even serve that.

Yet more contempt shown by a highly-paid public sector employee towards those who pay her generous salary:

In our 2015 general election manifesto we’ll be calling for mandatory paternity testing at birth. So we were pleased to see the following article:

A comment from Chrissie of Camberley:

Mandatory DNA tests should be carried out after the child’s birth, It’s peace of mind for both father and child. Everyone has the right to know the truth and that way there can be no arguments or false claims of child support. I feel sorry for the potential fathers and children who don’t know the truth.

This form of paternity fraud – leading a man into believing he’s the biological father of a child, when he’s not – has long been a criminal offence in the UK. It’s an appalling financial and emotional assault on men. For many years the CSA alone has learned of 500+ cases of paternity fraud every year, after men have demanded paternity tests. How many women have ever been convicted of this form of paternity fraud in the UK? The number you’d expect.

None.

Our thanks to K for pointing us to this new piece by Angela Epstein, an estimable journalist and broadcaster, and ‘Maggie’ award winner:

Hmm… we wonder what Laura Bates thinks about wolf-whistles from construction workers? By feminist standards she’s not unattractive, and the day will surely come when she’ll be annoyed by the absence of wolf-whistles. Will she whine about that? Of course she will.

Our thanks to J for alerting us to this. Please join me in signing this petition. Thank you.

We salute a lady judge who’s displayed sound judgement with respect to a custody matter:

On 20 January we sent the BBC a complaint about a piece on Newsnight concerning domestic abuse/violence. The BBC’s response displayed utter contempt for the complaint, so we’re appealing. The following has just been posted to the BBC, we’ll publish their response as soon as we receive it.

The inevitable consequence of an increasingly female-dominated mediocre state education system, and grade inflation being used in an effort to hide that mediocrity:

Many years ago police forces reduced their height and fitness requirements, so as to increase the number of female police officers. The following is a natural consequence of that insane decision. As more women enter the military, the same will happen there:
