Our thanks to FP for this piece in the Metro. The start of the piece:

A woman has been jailed for a year after lying to police – and causing an innocent man to spend five months behind bars.

Hayley Carter’s lies were revealed when a friend filmed her at a New Year’s Eve party admitting the man she had helped to incriminate was innocent.

Pretty 23-year-old Carter, a switchboard operator, made a police statement which led to a man being charged with possessing a stolen shotgun and with handling stolen property in Crawley, West Sussex.

The fake statement also caused the Crown Prosecution Service to drop a case against another suspect.

Carter’s lies were exposed at the innocent man’s trial last year – where she failed to appear as a witness…

Carter was first given an 18-month community order which included 240 hours of unpaid community work and a £1,500 fine.

But the Court of Appeal decided Carter’s sentence was unduly lenient and she will instead face a year in prison.

At the end of the piece, some comedy (in the final paragraph):

Sussex Police’s Detective Sergeant Jon Robeson said: ‘Carter’s action caused a man to be in prison for five months awaiting trial, and also had the effect of causing the original case against the first man to be called into question so that it had to be withdrawn.’

He added: ‘The sentence sends the message that attempts to pervert the course of justice are taken very seriously and that people who make false statements to the police – and to the courts – must expect to face justice themselves.’

Holding women to account for perverting the course of justice is so vanishingly rare, that I doubt this case will even register with all the women who know they are above the law, simply on the grounds of their sex.

A tip of the hat to Steve Brule for this (video, 10:43), filmed two days ago. Steve nails it when he calls the students cowards for wearing face masks. One of the RSM banners consists of the words, ‘Long Live Proletarian Feminism’, another has a hammer and sickle symbol. The geniuses indulge in two-line chants, the trademark of low-IQ protesters the world over, including:

Racist, sexist, anti-gay,
MRA, go away!

Needless to say, the spokesman for the group hasn’t even see the film about which the group is protesting.

Our thanks to Paul for alerting us to a programme that’s just started on BBC Radio 4, The Male Room. There will be three 30-minute long episodes, starting at 23:00 on Mondays:

Tonight – The Inadequacy Edition

Olly Mann and guests tackle male feelings of inadequacy.

12 December – The Angry Edition

Olly Mann and guests explore anger – repressed and explicit.

19 December – The Heroic Edition

Late-night discussion featuring the conversations men do not often have on air.

I’m listening ‘live’ to the first episode, and it’s even worse than I was expecting. Within a few minutes of the start of the programme the words ‘feelings’ and ’emotions’ must have been uttered 10+ times, ‘vulnerability’ and ‘patriarchy’ several times, likewise ‘toxic masculinity’. We’ve already heard from two manginas – one is looking forward to becoming a ‘house husband’, his wife earns a lot more than him – and Kate Smurfwit, Lying Feminist of the Month, a feminist ‘comedian’ (i.e. reliably unfunny), apparently an expert on men’s issues. He then meets men at the feminist-compliant Being a Mangina Festival.

The presenter is Olly Mann – second from the left in the photo above – a mangina with a surely bright future at the BBC if he carries on like this.

So, a mangina presenter, two mangina studio guests, and a feminist ‘comedian’ – BBC ideological balance at its finest.

We’ll post all three programmes on our YouTube channel in due course.

Excellent, as always (video, 15:25) – and the last video to be filmed or broadcast before the summer.

Bettina (‘Tina’) Arndt (67) is an Australian sex therapist, journalist, and clinical psychologist. She’s a very well-known figure in the Australian mainstream media. The people organizing ICMI17 are understandably excited that she’ll be speaking at ICMI17, and if you want to get a sense of why, you should catch this video (21:26) of her speaking about domestic violence – and the demonisation of men generally – broadcast by Sky News (Australia) recently.

The ICMI17 website is still being fleshed out in one or two areas – speaker details and photographs will be added in the coming few days, for example – but one already confirmed talk title is that of Mark Latham, ‘The Myth of White Male Privilege’. The start of his Wikipedia entry:

Mark William Latham (born 28 February 1961) is a former Australian politician who was the leader of the Australian Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition from December 2003 to January 2005. He led the party at the 2004 federal election.

Latham left politics in 2005, after  the incumbent prime minister, John Howard, was re-elected to a fourth term. Latham has since become a prominent political commentator.

A senior person at AVfM yesterday described Latham to me as, ‘the Marmite man of Australian politics – half the country loves him, the other half hates him.’ He sounds like a perfect choice to speak at ICMI17.
