Petitions for men’s issues seldom gain much traction, but I thank Chloe for pointing me to one which has secured over 49,000 signatures.
In the UK, as many men die from prostate cancer as women die from breast cancer. £350 million p.a. is spent on national screening programmes for female-specific cancers, £0 for male-specific cancers.
Kevin Vardy (53) has been diagnosed with aggressive and extensive prostate cancer, and the condition is terminal. His petition to Jeremy Hunt, Health Secretary, has secured over 49,000 signatures. I’ve just signed it, and urge you to do likewise, maybe leaving a comment too. Some background to the petition is here, and you can get to the petition here. Information on a new, more accurate test for prostate cancer is here.
Please take a little time to show your support for Kevin Vardy’s initiative. Thank you.

Signed, shared on the “The Facebook”, tweeted on this new-fangled “The Twitter” – but I am not holding my breath for the government to suddenly volte-face and say ;Oh gosh, yes of course, how remiss of us to not screen our primary tax-funders for anything…’

it is hard to comprehend just how blatantly men’s issues,rights and health care are overlooked,ignored and even denied in today’s society. And this is done by governments which live off taxes ,produced mostly by male workers. (about 70 % of it)
Not only is it shameful on the part of the politicians,but it is also embarrassing how many contemporary men still behave as if all was well and their rightful place in the society and family did not need to be contested. and re-asserted.
