Excellent (video, 15:16). I see William Collins is increasingly using the pseudonym “Rick Bradford”. Very confusing. I think he should drop “William Collins” and hereafter use “Rick Bradford” only. Any thoughts?

Ewan Jones interviews Cassie Jaye at ICMI18
Very good (video, 21:47). The section on #MeToo is particularly interesting, since Cassie was a Hollywood actress for some years. Such a beautiful woman, on a number of levels.

Jordan Stephens: “On Why All Men Should Want To Live In A Matriarchy”
Our thanks to Max for pointing us to the programme of the Women’s Equality Party conference in September. He points out that Jordan Stephens, a young mangina who appeared along with Professor Eric Anderson, Martin Daubney, and myself, made a woeful contribution to a recent BBC TV programme, Sunday Morning Live. The topic was, “Is Masculinity in Crisis?” Our blog piece on the matter, along with a link to the programme on YouTube, is here.
Jordan Stephens’s talk title at the WEP conference is, “On Why All Men Should Want To Live In A Matriarchy”.

Here is a clip of her on U.S. T.V. discussing the demonisation of masculinity.
I’ll be joining her on the Make Love Great Again on the New Right Network today (Friday 27th August) at 5:15pm, talking about how Feminism is ruining Men, Women & the world.

Restore faith in CPS, new director Max Hill is told
A piece by Frances Gibb, Legal Editor, in today’s Times, emphases ours:
The next director of public prosecutions needs to restore badly dented confidence in the Crown Prosecution Service after a series of collapsed trials, lawyers said yesterday.
Max Hill, 54, whose appointment to the £204,000-a-year job was announced on Tuesday, must also prove to right-wing critics that his liberal credentials do not undermine the reputation of the country’s top prosecutor.
The QC has come under fire in his role as the independent reviewer of terrorism laws for meeting an Islamist group that praised the terrorist known as Jihadi John as a “beautiful man.”
The Conservative MP Philip Davies has called Mr Hill a “politically correct snowflake” and among some lawyers he is referred to as “TV’s own Max Hill”, a jibe at his high media profile.
He has also suggested that some terrorism laws should be scrapped because they are seen as targeting Muslim communities and that British jihadists returning from Syria should not automatically be prosecuted.
One lawyer said: “He will need to hone his political antennae.”
However, Lord Macdonald of River Glaven, a former director of public prosecutions, said: “Unlike these deckchair generals, Max Hill has put terrorists in jail. And he’s done it fairly and squarely. Anyone who thinks he’s soft is in for a shock. Max Hill is independent, robust and a first-class lawyer with a track record in the big cases.”
He replaces Alison Saunders from November after months in which the CPS has been criticised for disclosure failings amid warnings about miscarriages of justice. A scathing report from MPs last week said action was needed after a series of collapsed trials.
Mr Hill will need to restore public confidence that the right prosecutions are being brought after concerns that there has been great emphasis on historical child sex abuse and sexual assault but in the case of other offences, such as female genital mutilation, there has not been a successful prosecution. [J4MB: Likewise male genital mutilation]
He will also need to restore internal morale at a time when the CPS is struggling with a constrained budget. Lord Macdonald said: “The cuts over the last few years have pushed the CPS to the edge and damaged justice. It’s not all about money, but finally you get what you pay for.” [J4MB: Even Alison Saunders didn’t resort to claiming the failings of the police and CPS were attributable to lack of funding.]
Chris Henley, QC, vice-chairman of the Criminal Bar Association, said: “In Max Hill, QC, the CPS will have at its helm at a time of critical change a first-class legal brain.”
The new DPP said that he was honoured to be taking over from Ms Saunders, rejecting criticisms of her five-year stint and describing claims that standards had slipped as “hugely insulting” to prosecutors. [J4MB: In plain English, the relentless anti-male bias of the CPS is going to continue.]

Fatima Khan, 20, shot and posted clip online of her boyfriend, 18, dying in a pool of blood – convicted of manslaughter.
Times caption: Fatima Khan was found guilty of manslaughter by a majority of 10-1 at the Old Bailey(PA)
A piece by Nadeem Badshah in today’s Times:
A self-confessed Snapchat addict who posted a video of her boyfriend dying in a pool of blood has been found guilty of arranging his killing.
Fatima Khan, 20, filmed Khalid Safi, 18, as he lay in the street and posted it on the social media app with the caption: “This is what happens when you f*** with me.”
She had plotted with Raza Khan to kill the Afghan asylum seeker, with whom she had been in a relationship for two years. Mr Safi was repeatedly stabbed in the chest by Mr Khan in North Acton, north London, on December 1, 2016, the Old Bailey was told.
Ms Khan said that she was “ashamed” of the video and denied murder, as well as alternative charges of manslaughter and conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm. However, the jury found her guilty of manslaughter by a majority of 10-1.
Kate Bex, QC, for the prosecution, said that the two men had fought over Ms Khan a few years earlier, during which Mr Safi was hurt. She became upset when Mr Safi bought her a watch and presented it to her at her home five days before his death. She threw the gift at him out of an upstairs window because her family were not aware of their relationship.
Ms Bex said that Mr Khan was “a rival for her affections” and she was “essential to the success of the plan” to get rid of Mr Safi.
On the day of the killing Mr Safi and Ms Khan had gone to a branch of Costa Coffee near the offices of her employer, Vigilant Security, in North Acton. When Mr Khan, 19, arrived in a minicab he approached them holding a large knife.
Ms Bex said: “Raza Khan spoke briefly to either the defendant or Khalid Safi and then turned to face him, at which point the prosecution suggest that the knife would have been in plain view. Mr Safi produced a screwdriver and they began to fight.
“Mr Safi died at the scene having received a number of wounds to his chest, one penetrating his heart.”
Mr Khan’s whereabouts since the attack on Mr Safi remain unknown. Ms Khan will be sentenced at the Old Bailey on Monday.
