Our thanks to Ken for this. An extract:

Experts compiled a 250-page psychiatric report on Brown-Wellington which confirmed she has a ‘personality disorder’.

It’s odd that ‘personality disorders’ are never used to mitigate the actions of violent men.

At 14:30 today (in less than 10 minutes’ time) a meeting of the Backbench Business Committee of the House of Commons is due to start. It’s the committee to which Philip Davies successfully applied to lead debates on men’s issues on International Men’s Day in 2015 (despite the infamous efforts of Jess Phillips MP, a committee member, to deny the application) and 2016, Jeremy Lefroy, another Conservative MP, will bid to lead the debate this year. You’ll be able to access proceedings through this link. We don’t know exactly when Jeremy Lefroy will be appearing.

A short but insightful piece on American Thinker. An extract:

One politician who used Gove’s joke for her own ends was the Labour MP Jess Phillips. (Phillips once said that the equivalent to the mass sexual assaults by Muslims in Cologne occurred every week –- by white men —  in a single Birmingham city-center street.) She’s well-known for being purer than pure when it comes to these issues. That is, she virulently anti-“Tory” and also a massively self-conscious feminist and self-selling politician. She wrote:

“Michael Gove just left the studio without his dignity.”

In other words, Gove’s joke has been used for political ends and/or for moral grandstanding.

On Sunday I spent an interesting and entertaining three hours with Mike Porter, above, a stalwart supporter and former BBC sound engineer, along with Dave S and Sally J, promoting ICMI18 outside the venue where it will be held, St Andrew’s stadium, the home of Birmingham City FC. The occasion was the major local derby with Aston Villa, the police were out in force to prevent any violence breaking out between the rival teams’ fans. The final score of 0:0 was celebrated by the Blues’ fans, given Villa had been expected to win. We were delighted with the warm reception we received from both teams’ fans, and we had plenty of productive exchanges. We handed out well over 1,000 leaflets.

The design of the placards we were holding is here, the two sides of the leaflets we handed out here and here.

Please email us (info@j4mb.org.uk) if you’d like to join us holding placards and handing out leaflets at future Birmingham City home games. Those before the end of the year are against:

• Nottingham Forest (18 November, 15:00)
• Wolves (2 December, 15:00)
• QPR (16 December, 15:00)
• Norwich City (26 December, 15:00)
• Leeds Utd (30 December, 15:00)

An excellent piece in yesterday’s Mail. A link to the piece on TCW is here.

I’ve just had the pleasure of debating sexual harassment with Sue Fish, former Chief Constable of Nottinghamshire Police. We’ll put the piece on our YouTube channel in the next few days. I took the opportunity to raise a matter which was on the news yesterday, a BBC piece is here.

Not long before the general election in 2015, in which Ray Barry and I stood for J4MB in Ashfield and Broxtowe respectively – both constituencies are near Nottingham – Jason Zadrozny, the Lib Dem candidate in Ashfield, was arrested. He’d been a strong contender to take the seat from Gloria De Piero, a Labour MP, shadow Minister for Women and Equalities. From the BBC piece:

Jason Zadrozny, 37, of Sutton Road, Kirkby-in-Ashfield, faced a total of 24 offences including counts of sexual activity with a male child under 16.

The Crown Prosecution Service said no evidence would be offered against the Nottinghamshire County councillor.

Mr Zadrozny said he was “absolutely delighted” the case was thrown out.

It has taken 30 months for the CPS to admit it has no evidence.

As usual, Julia Hartley-Brewer nails it.

Our thanks to Mike Porter for this. Narcissistic Personality Disorder, possibly?

Well, this could be interesting. At about 08:05 tomorrow I shall be on the Andy Whittaker and Sarah Julian Show on BBC Radio Nottingham (you can listen online) discussing the issue of sexual harassment with Sue Fish, above, the former Chief Constable of Notts Police (she retired in January of this year). Regular followers of this blog will recall she was the genius who worked with the Nottingham Women’s Centre to make perceived misogyny a ‘hate crime’ in her county. HEqual posted an excellent piece on the matter, BBC & Notts Police Chief publicise non-existent “hate crimes” against women whilst ignoring fatal domestic violence against men. A link to our own piece is here. An extract:

Melanie Jeffs, centre manager at Nottingham Women’s Centre, said: “We’re pleased to see Nottinghamshire Police recognise the breadth of violence and intimidation that women experience on a daily basis in our communities.”

She added: “Recording this as a hate crime will give us a detailed picture of how often, when and where it is happening. It has been very difficult to build that picture before but we will now get detailed data to analyse.

“Showing that the police take it seriously will also give people the confidence to come forward and report offences.

Melanie Jeffs (image above) first came to our attention when we were campaigning in the Nottingham area before the 2015 general election. She was described to me (by a woman who knew her) as ‘a particularly vile lesbian radical feminist’. In April 2015 she won our Lying Feminist of the Month award. A link to all the award winners is here.

We’re considering a number of options to make next year’s conference more interactive than previous ones. One option we’d like to explore is giving ticket-holding attendees (other than the ‘daytime’ speakers) the opportunity to make presentations in the evening, on the first or second days. The room will be the same as that used for the ‘daytime’ speakers, Legends’ Lounge (max. capacity 350, seated). The room – along with others – is available to us until midnight on each day.

Our initial proposal is to give people slots of 30 minutes to use as they see fit, though we recommend they speak for 20 minutes, and leave a maximum of 10 minutes for Q&A. We shall advertise these talks in advance on this website and at the conference, so other attendees will have the opportunity to attend the talks that interest them. If you’d like to talk, please email us (info@j4mb.org.uk) with the following:

• talk title
• details of proposed content (max. 100 words)

Presenters will be free to have their talks video and/or audio recorded, but this will not be done by the team who will be filming the daytime presentations. They will, however, have to abide by the Recording Guidelines (we’ll be modifying them shortly to take account of evening presentations).

There’s a large bar at one end of the Legends’ Lounge, by the entrance, we’ll decide nearer the time whether we’ll have it open during the evening talks.
