A female yob who smashed an NHS emergency car told a female police officer she hoped her children would suffer “slow, painful deaths”.
Jaycie Talbot, 25, also branded one policewoman a “slag” and told her “I hope you miscarry and your baby falls out of you”.
She also spat at police officers as they arrested her during a violent struggle which saw her kick out at two officers and attempt to bite a third.
However, Talbot was spared jail after admitting criminal damage and assault on police at Manchester Magistrates’ Court…
When police arrived, Talbot began ‘screaming at the top of her voice” in front of staff and patients before falsely claiming she had been raped.
She then subjected the three officers to a violent struggle in which she kicked out at two of the officers, before spitting and trying to bite a third.
During the assault Talbot told one WPC: “I’m going to find where you live and burn your house down you slag.
“I hope you miscarry and your baby falls out of you”.
Another was told: “I wish all of your children would have slow, painful deaths.”…
She was also ordered to put £300 toward the £800 cost of repairing the 999 car.
Taxpayers are expected to have to pay the rest of the repairs…
The court heard Talbot has 13 previous offences, including matters of violence and including a conviction for assaulting police from 2013…
In mitigation defence lawyer Duncan Phillips said: “She is ashamed of everything that has been said but there is a lack of pre-meditation involved. None of the officers concerned suffered any injury.”
Talbot added: “I am remorseful for my actions and I am working on my personal issues.”
But JP Michael Fry told her: “You have a concerning record of offending.” [J4MB emphasis. No shit, Sherlock. Judges and magistrates have a concerning record of not giving women the substantial custodial sentences they’d give men in exactly the same circumstances.]
On Sunday we’ll again be campaigning with some of the estimable members of The London Group at Speakers’ Corner, Hyde Park. Rod will certainly be there, along with a number of others from the group. They mainly go in for speaking on their stepladders, and do a fine job of it. I generally spend my time there campaigning on MGM, engaging primarily with the people whose religions and cultures condone MGM. As always, I’ll be bringing placards and leaflets, as well as bodycams to record anything of interest.
We have 50+ video and audio pieces on our YouTube MGM playlist, a number of them videos recorded with our bodycams at Speakers’ Corner.
If you can come along and support us, you’ll be made very welcome. The weather may be poor and there’s little cover from the weather, so dress accordingly.
We tend to arrive around 10:40, stopping for lunch at around 13:30, then return and press on until maybe 16:30 or 17:00. Afterwards we usually go somewhere nearby for a beer or two.
If you’re known to us, and want to join us beforehand at a nearby cafe (09:30 – 10:30), please email us (mail@j4mb.org.uk) to ask where the place is. A warming tea or coffee might be a good way to start the day!
Our thanks to Sean for this.
We’re delighted to announce the final speaker for the conference – Oliver Hoffmann, an Austrian MRA who founded a men’s rights party in 2008. Details here.

A California state lawmaker at the forefront of the #MeToo movement faces a growing number of sexual misconduct allegations herself. Four former employees filed a formal complaint against Democratic Assemblywoman Cristina Garcia. Another says he was fired after protesting when she suggested playing “spin the bottle.”.
Garcia has authored numerous bills about sexual assault and consent. She was even recently featured in Time magazine’s “Persons of the Year” issue recognizing the #MeToo movement’s “silence breakers.” But now she is on voluntary leave, as investigators look into claims she groped two men…
As a #MeToo activist, she’s called on those accused of harassment to resign immediately – but she does not plan to do so herself.
A “must see” thing (video, 1:17:49).

I recently had a video-recorded discussion with Karren Brady. The start of her Wikipedia profile:
Karren Rita Brady, Baroness Brady, CBE (born 4 April 1969) is an English sporting executive, politician, television personality, newspaper columnist, author and novelist. She is the former managing director of Birmingham City F.C. and current vice-chairman of West Ham United F.C.. She is featured in the BBC One series The Apprentice as an aide to Lord Sugar. She was the Small Business Ambassador to the UK Government under Prime Minister David Cameron.
She is known as “The First Lady of Football”. Her appointment with Birmingham City began in March 1993, when she was 23. In 2002 she became the first woman to hold such a post in the top flight of English football when the team was promoted. She oversaw the company’s flotation in 1997, thus becoming the youngest managing director of a UK plc.
Brady was interviewing me for a Channel 5 programme on the gender pay gap, Why Do Women Earn More Than Men? It will be broadcast from 22:00 on Wednesday, 4 April. We were filmed over two hours, plenty of time for me to give her the gist of William Collins’s article on the gender pay gap, which showed that for part-time workers, median hourly income for women has exceeded that for men for the past 20 years. For full-time workers, POST-TAX, median hourly income for women has exceeded that for men for a number of years. So the basic premise of the programme, along with its title, is a lie. I also found time to explain Dr Catherine Hakim’s Preference Theory (2000), which showed that while four in seven British men are work-centred, just one in seven British women is.
I explained the causal link between increasing gender diversity on corporate boards, and corporate financial decline. To say the discussion was a strained one would be an understatement. The programme’s (female) producer later filmed a number of people including myself promoting the conference outside Bond St tube station, holding placards and handing out leaflets. I understand that just 3-4 minutes of all that video footage survived the editing process.
William Collins’s important blog piece on the gender pay gap is here. Spoiler alert:
The median gender pay gap is in favour of women for part-time employees, and has been for 20+ years.
Post-tax, the gap for full-time employees has been in favour of women for a number of years.
Our thanks to Sean for this. We hope the men are successful.
