Our thanks to Douglas for this. An extract:

Obsessed Charmaine Wilson, 25, used a pal’s baby to trick Liam Griffiths, 31, into believing she had a baby boy after a single drunken night together.

She even forged a birth certificate and a DNA test to fool Liam into believing the baby was genuinely his son – and his family then showered their “new beautiful boy” with gifts and love for six months.

But Wilson’s shocking fraud was discovered in May when a real relative of the boy spotted a picture of him with Liam on Facebook.

We bring good news, the exit from British politics of David Cameron, the self-described ‘heir to Blair’. Our thanks to a number of people for this. An excerpt:

On June 27 [Note: four days after the Brexit vote] David Cameron issued this statement: “I will continue with my duties as the MP for Witney. It is an enormous privilege to serve the people of West Oxfordshire.”

So enormous that he could only bear it for a few more weeks, apparently. He’s off, leaving the Commons and triggering a by-election in Witney: some lucky Tory will soon inherit one of the safest and prettiest seats in the country.

What does this tell us about Mr Cameron? Nothing terribly positive, to be honest. Let’s remember, he fought the EU referendum campaign promising not to quit if he lost, then quit when he lost — but only having clung to office as long as possible and having banned the Civil Service from doing any preparatory work for Brexit, thus making it harder for his successor to actually get on with the job.

In between breaking his promise not to resign as PM and breaking his promise not to resign as an MP, the only significant official work he undertook was drawing up an honours list handing an OBE to his wife’s stylist and a knighthood to his press officer.

From time to time we present ‘Toady’ awards to men in positions of power, who use that power to drive or support radical feminist agendas. Cameron was a supreme example of the type.

Having worked as a consultant for the Conservative party over 2006-8, I resigned my party membership – along with many others – in the autumn of 2009, when Cameron announced his intention to introduce all-women PPC shortlists, a plan he dropped after furious reactions from MPs and party members. His plan inspired me to write my first book about gender-related matters, David and Goliatha: David Cameron – heir to Harman? (2010).

The book’s cover design was drawn by the late lamented cartoonist Martin Honeysett. I’d been an admirer of cartoons since I was a teenager (40+ years ago), reading Punch. All the greatest cartoonists have been men, and the same goes for almost all fans of the important art form. So I was naturally delighted when Martin accepted my request to draw the cover design in line with my concept, and he was a joy to work with. He’d always had a particular gift for drawing grotesque women. With Harriet Harman MP being a key element in the design, Martin had been an obvious choice for the commission. I still have the original drawing, and may auction it one day to raise funds for J4MB.

David and Goliatha is now out of print, but all its contents (and more) are in my subsequent book, the snappily-titled The Glass Ceiling Delusion: The real reasons more women don’t reach senior positions (2011).

Cameron was a deserving winner of our Toady of the Year awards in 2012/3/4/5. There are links to all his awards here.

Cameron’s key strategy adviser in opposition, and for two years into his first premiership – until 2012 – was Steve Hilton. I met Hilton a number of times while I worked for the party, and soon reached the conclusion he had bats in the belfry, a common conclusion among those who had the misfortune to work with him. In May 2015 Hilton fawned obsequiously over Harriet Harman on The Andrew Marr Show – here (video, 2:38). Don’t watch it after a large meal, unless you’re prepared to buy a new computer or keyboard.

We are pleased to announce that on International Men’s Day, we’ll be supporting this. The march will be from the Royal Courts of Justice to the Houses of Parliament – 11:00, Saturday, 19 November. The full description:

Family lives matter.

Time to talk, Time to listen, Time to act,
suicide is not an option.

Fighting for family law reform and equal rights.

Aiming to highlight the failings of the family/divorce courts and associated organization’s that can lead to so many men committing/considering suicide. Also a celebration of all fathers and mens groups that help in these dark times.

We aim to show the magnitude of the problem by taking teddies/dolls to parliament with our children’s first names attached. Each teddy/doll representing a child missing out on the love of a father, grandfather, grandmothers, aunts, uncles, siblings and cousins. After the event the teddies and dolls will be donated to a childrens charity.

The name tags sent to parliament.

Predictable. It presumably cost the same to train the female pilots as their male colleagues, but they were not as willing to dedicate themselves to the most demanding and risky option – flying fighter planes – after their graduations.

There are parallels in the UK, of course. Let’s take female doctors. On average, female graduates from medical schools later work only half the hours over their medical careers, compared with male doctors. Women decline to work unsocial hours, or to work in the most demanding and risky fields, such as A&E – whether or not they have children.

Wherever we look, in the workplace and elsewhere, women as a class are reliably less work-centred and more risk-averse than men as a class. The state remains relentlessly in denial of this stark reality, with predictable consequences e.g. the NHS, which has been for 40+ years a job creation scheme for women wishing to work part-time. Over that time it’s become ever more inefficient and dysfunctional, ever more costly to taxpayers. No amount of money can fix what is clearly an irrecoverably broken model.

The odious feminist Labour MP Emily Thornberry (I know, the word ‘odious’ is superfluous) is the shadow foreign secretary, and as such would be expected to know the names of key political figures, especially the names of those in the EU in the run-up to Brexit talks. Our thanks to Jeff and David for this, and a tip of the hat to Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan. Extracts:

The shadow foreign secretary has accused a TV interviewer of “sexism” after he asked her to name the French foreign minister.

Emily Thornberry criticised Sky News presenter Dermot Murnaghan for “pub-quizzing” her as they discussed Brexit talks, saying it was “patronising”…

The interview has sparked a wave of debate online.

Isabel Hardman, the assistant editor of The Spectator, tweeted: “Hum. Never realised I could just use ‘sexism’ as a cover-all excuse for not doing my homework.”…

Matt Chorley of the Times newspaper tweeted: “It would have been sexist if Murnaghan had asked Thornberry about Bake Off. Or her hairdresser. Not who she might talk to in government.”

Leader of the Scottish Conservatives Ruth Davidson tweeted: “Plenty of genuine sexism & misogyny in politics. Don’t need prominent women debasing the term to cover their own poor performance. Jeez.” [Note: Wrong, Ms Davidson. There’s plenty of anti-male sexism in politics, and misandry. Female MPs over-represented in the cabinet, all-women PPC shortlists, Jess Phillips MP?]

Our thanks to Mike P for this piece in the Mail.

We knew that the ridiculous treatment of misogyny as a hate crime wouldn’t be limited to the county where it started, Nottinghamshire. A central figure in the initiative was Melanie Jeffs, the lesbian radical feminist head of the Nottingham Women’s Centre, a registered charity. In April 2015 she won our Lying Feminist of the Month award for a demonstrable lie on the centre’s website which remains there to this day, 17 months later. Her award certificate is here.

Jobs will be created to tackle this non-existent problem, misogyny being all but unknown among men, and far more common among women. Conversely, of course, misandry (the hatred of men) is common among women – ubiquitous among feminists – and far from uncommon among men. The start of the article:

Police across the country are considering making misogyny a hate crime. The plan was revealed after two men were arrested for sexist abuse during a pilot scheme in Nottinghamshire that may be broadened out across the country.

Threatening words and assault will be tackled in the pioneering crackdown on offensive behaviour towards women.

Nottinghamshire Police has launched more than 20 investigations in the two months since the pilot was announced. But despite initial concerns from the public, no men have been reported for wolf-whistling at women. [My emphasis. The notion that wolf-whistling is (a) evidence of misogyny, and (b) commonplace in the modern era, is a radical feminist fantasy, given that no man would ever wolf-whistle a radical feminist, for obvious reasons.]

Forces around the country, from Devon and Cornwall to Durham, are now sending officers to the county to discuss the experiment.

Dave Alton, Nottinghamshire Police’s hate crime manager, said: ‘The reality is that all of the reports so far have required some form of police action.’

Paul Elam and I are very close age-wise, and another thing we have in common is type 2 diabetes, almost certainly the consequence of being overweight for too long. He’s lost 70lb, unlike myself, and I salute him for the achievement. His latest video (12:29) is particularly recommended for overweight men who have yet to contract the disease, the leading cause of blindness and lower limb loss in the UK and other developed countries.

Janet Bloomfield (JudgyBitch) gave a predictably memorable presentation – ‘How Feminism Infantilizes Women’ – at the recent London conference, here. I had the misfortune of having to follow her, and I had decided the timetable. Doh!

Yesterday Janet published an interesting critique of three of Ally Fogg’s Guardian pieces from the past year, on the latest CPS report on VAWG, MGM, and the sexual abuse of boys by women – here.

Our thanks to Toy Soldier for pointing us towards, and commenting on, a piece by Dave Hon. Enjoy.

Our thanks to Chloe for this. The start of the piece:

Managers wouldn’t negotiate her hours because of “detrimental effect on the business”; case could force all airlines to review how they allocate shifts, say legal experts.

An airline employee whose requests for flexible hours were rejected when she returned from maternity leave has won a sex discrimination case against her employers.

Emma Seville, who worked for Flybe airline as cabin crew for 13 years, worked full time on a flexible rota – meaning she could work any 22 days in a month – before going on maternity leave. But after having her son, she asked to return to work on a fixed, pre-arranged rota of 11 days a month.

Another excerpt:

Flybe said Seville’s request for flexible hours had been fully considered, but that it could cause problems. The company also added that it had a fixed rota system in place and shifts could be swapped.

Seville won her legal claim for sex discrimination, but lost the claim for flexible working hours. [My emphasis.] Tribunal judge Lynne Findlay said cabin-crew work was dominated by women mainly of child-bearing age, and added: “This placed women at a disadvantage compared with men.”

The end of the piece:

Matthew Potter, partner at Birketts law firm, said: “All employers should be alert to the need to take into account individual childcare responsibilities when seeking to impose a requirement on employees to work a particular shift pattern and carefully consider whether requests such as the one in this case can be accommodated, however inconvenient it may be for the business.”

When will the business sector start campaigning against such idiocy? The sector’s craven capitulation to such matters – and ‘women on boards’ – over many years has been shameful.
