I’m enjoying a warm sunny day in Gold Coast – it’s the middle of the Australian ‘winter’ – and there’s a real buzz developing around the conference, which starts tomorrow. As I was leaving my hotel this morning, a workman spotted my J4MB shirt and connected it with the conference, saying he’d been impressed by ‘an amazing young Canadian woman’ interviewed at length on Sky. He meant Karen Straughan, of course, and we’ll post a link to that interview as soon as we can. In the meantime, a new piece by William Collins.

Our thanks to John for this. As we often find with headlines above BBC pieces about men’s and boys’ issues, it would have been more truthful with the omission of inverted commas:

Doctor acted illegally by circumcising boy.

Our thanks to Mark for this – an initiative to address the invented ‘problem’ of most High Court judges being white men. No evidence is provided to support the implied contention that ‘under-represented groups’ – including women, as always – are being disadvantaged in attaining such positions on the grounds of merit.

Our thanks to Tim for spotting this. The relevant section is 2:02 – 3:50, and the (iPlayer) piece expires 22:45 today. We hope to capture it before then for our YouTube library.
