A piece in yesterday’s Guardian. It contains a link to an article on Maria Caulfield from 2018. We’re going to include in our next manifesto a proposal to cut the maximum term for elective abortions from 24 weeks to 12 weeks, making it consistent with almost all major European countries, including those in Scandinavia.

My thanks to Michael for pointing me to this. It included a podcast of 77 minutes’ duration, but Matteo Bergamini’s description of MRAs and incels are “male supremacists” in the first two or three minutes will probably disincline you to listen any further, as it did for me. From the web page:

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

Of course he couldn’t possibly say “masculinity” but the truth is the “service” in Greater Manchester had been dialling down the masculinity and muscularity for decades. It began with reducing and then abandoning height and fitness requirements. At first for women but because that required saying a commanding height, level of fitness and strength were not a requirement of course than they couldn’t then insist on those for the men either. So over time police officers become shorter, less fit and certainly less able to rely on “presence”.

Then the officers ended up more and more encased in protection and reluctant to be out and about. So at the time of the supposed “riots” local oiks could loot shopping centres at will by the simple expedient of luring the “tactical unit”, the only big muscular officers available, to Market Street, and while busy there they couldn’t intervene anywhere else.

Meanwhile the “plastic policemen” PCSOs end up looking smarter and more in control than the officers. The nadir of this was the previous CC advising the citizens of GM to look to their own safety and security. The “force” will never return to GMP, for to do so would include dialing down the positive discrimination that is now endemic.

Our thanks to Gina for this piece (video, 9:39) on GB News last month. She asks the reasonable question:

Given that most Labour MPs are women today, shouldn’t Labour have replaced all-female shortlists with all-male shortlists for appointing candidates to be their prospective MPs?

Our thanks to Nigel for this in the Telegraph. He writes:

A very good example of very well-paid women using the “victim” card to leverage even more money by linking their cause with other women who might elicit some sympathy. The truth is that the “equal pay” class actions in public services had been in the late 80s and 90s and those in the retail sector had been going through the legal process for many years before the ladies of the BBC had a bit of a whinge and instantly got massive pay rises.

Far far more in pay rise than an Asda worker of either sex. In retail, as in other industries, the issue isn’t the pay for the same job, but that women and men tend to do different jobs on average. So the courts have to decide on “equivalent value” of different occupations. Which of course is actually hard to do if the actual jobs are very different, hence if contested by employers it goes on for years. For of course for commercial companies the real measures are the harsh ones “at what level of wage can I recruit?” and “how important is that job to business efficiency and profits?”. As you can imagine the result of not taking into account the “market” results in phalanxes of “experts” with differing ways of measuring “equal value”. Meanwhile a small number of highest tax bracket women claim a link with the check-out staff that I’m sure they barely glance at in Waitrose or M&S (I doubt any visit ASDA).
