Our thanks to John for tracking down the apparent author of the Football365 piece, a trashy piece containing errors and misleading statements, which seemingly resulted in Birmingham City FC inadvisedly terminating the contract for ICMI18, despite having no legal grounds to do so. The article didn’t contain the author’s name – a sure sign of cowardice – but we believe it to be Daniel Storey. His Twitter account is @DanielStorey85, his tweets relating to ICMI18 are here. He writes:
Pleased that Birmingham City have now responded to this by banning the organisation from St Andrew’s. A good ending.
On a lighter note, you may recall that I made some remarks in the video about being pleased that Birmingham City FC are known as The Blues, because that was apt for a men’s rights conference, ‘blue for boys, pink for girls, as nature intended’. It was a throwaway remark which some humourless people have objected to. Daniel Storey is clearly among their number, and he tweets:
It’s a wonder blue tits haven’t died out, what with them all being male.
The man’s a blithering idiot. Blue tits are a species, and both males and females have some blue plumage. If they’re all male, how does he imagine they breed?
‘The man’s a blithering idiot. Blue tits are a species, and both males and females have some blue plumage. If they’re all male, how does he imagine they breed?‘
How very female his thinking is: because [the women in] some western cultures have traditionally used blue for baby boys and pink for baby girls, and still do, blue colouring in any other species must mean that all members of it are male.

Dismal isn’t it that one daffy article can so deflect a business. One can see how easy it is for the feminist lobby to “campaign” when a few lines “on line” cause fear and consternation.

I can’t get the comments section on that Football 365 article to load, any chance of someone posting them on here? I’d be interested to see what people said. It makes me doubly glad I cancelled my Sky subscription recently and got BT instead. BT’s football coverage is way better and Sky are obviously a load of PC pillocks.

Hi Robert, you’ll need to scroll a long way down, and they may take a little time to open. Email me at mike@j4mb.org.uk if you still can’t get them.

Thanks Mike, I’ve seen the comments section now. The Football 365 lot appeared quite taken aback at the strongly negative response to their actions, which was very amusing. Maybe they should just stick to football!
