Our thanks to John for this.
Catherine Collings, 51, blinded her disabled husband in one eye, damaged the other eye, beat him with his crutch, ripped open his scrotum by lifting him up by his testicles using her fingernails. Suspended sentence.
Our thanks to Mark for this. From the article:
During a campaign of violence against her ex-husband, Collings also left him blind in one eye after poking his eyes with her fingers.
And on the day she ripped a hole in his scrotum, she beat Mr Collings, who lost a leg in a car crash when he was 20, with his crutch…
Recorder Simon Levene said: ‘You have admitted five offences over a prolonged period against a victim, your husband, already grievously disabled.
‘In effect he has lost the sight in one eye as a result of a series of assaults which are unforgivable.
‘I will treat you as a man inflicting this damage on his wife – very very severe injuries indeed.’
She was handed a two year jail sentence suspended for two years.
Saatchi boss Kevin Roberts resigns
Our thanks to Stuart for this. From the article:
Speaking on BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Monday, Kate Stanners, global chief creative officer at Saatchi and Saatchi, rejected the suggestion that women lacked ambition – saying Mr Roberts’s comments had upset a “huge” number of employees.
She said women “don’t bail out, and do want the top jobs”.
Ms Stanners is talking utter nonsense. Some women might want top jobs, but (with few exceptions) they don’t want the years of grinding effort and sacrifice that are usually required to get the top jobs on merit. Hence the need for positive discrimination, so they can land the jobs whilst working and sacrificing less than their male colleagues – the ‘Wimbledon effect’. She needs to read The Sexual Paradox by Susan Pinker, a Canadian psychologist (sister of Steven Pinker). It fully bears out the truth of Kevin Roberts’s remarks.

Laura Perrins: Saatchi & Saatchi should get a gong for crawling to the feminist Stasi
Peter Lloyd educates Dawn Foster, a whiny hatchet-faced militant feminist Guardian journalist, on Sky News
Enjoy (video, 9:14). Do feminists such as Dawn Foster chew on thick slices of lemon from time to time, to maintain their sour expressions? Or do those expressions come naturally do them?
