Presentation #18 of 20. In response to comments made by an earlier speaker, Paul started his presentation with some material that hadn’t been in his original speech notes (00:28 – 3:26). It was a powerful and important addition.

Our thanks to Stuart for this.

Our thanks to Janet Bloomfield for reblogging this. In the UK, men pay almost 75% of the income tax collected by the state. The proportion rose in each of the past four years for which we have data.

Ah, the Socialist Worker. Possibly the only paper which makes The Guardian and Independent appear insightful by comparison. This was published today. The piece claims the conference was held last week, when it was held over 8-10 July. Socialist research is an impressive thing, as we found out with the New Statesman yesterday – one of their geniuses couldn’t find J4MB on the website of the Electoral Commission. In the word of Homer Simpson, Doh!

A number of people have requested a transcription of Philip Davies’s conference speech, and he’s kindly emailed me the content – here.

A tip of the hat to HEqual for this.

Our thanks to John for this. The first 12:20 of Sargon’s latest weekly round up relates to the Philip Davies story. It was posted on Sunday, and has already attracted 155,000+ hits.

Presentation #17 of 20. We apologise for the sound quality, it would appear that the lapel mic slipped out of position.

A characteristically ridiculous piece by Yasmin Alibhai-Brown, in which she describes J4MB as ‘hideously sexist’. Pot, kettle, black?

If you want to understand why The Independent, a once-respected title, now a left-leaning rag – I was a subscriber for some time after its launch in 1986 – ceased producing a print edition five months ago, this should help. Both the hyperlinks will take you to recent pieces in The Guardian.
