Why is Lee Anderson MP (deputy chairman, Conservative party) so close to Martin Daubney, a Reclaim party-backing GB News presenter?

The conference referenced in this blog piece was the International Conference on Men’s Issues (2016). We’d never heard of the Byline Times before, but from an online article they’ve just published, it’s clearly a far-left website. An extract:
Daubney being openly promoted by the far-right is not an isolated incident. Aside from organising a ‘Straight Pride’ march in 2007, when he was still editor of the magazine Loaded, he’s also been exposed by Hope Not Hate as previously having strong links to the ‘Men’s Rights Activist’ (MRA) movement of misogynists and anti-feminists. In 2016, he spoke at the International Conference on Men’s Issues, founded by prominent American MRA group A Voice for Men (AVFM). The group’s founder Paul Elam once called for the month of October to be renamed “Bash a Violent Bitch Month”. Yet Daubney defended Elam in the Telegraph, saying that he and other members of the MRA movement have “long been smeared as some of the internet’s biggest anti-feminist bogeyman”.

The 20mph speed limit is not safer or better for the planet

An interesting piece by Philip Pilkington for Unherd. I posted the following comments:
20mph speed limits in almost all the places I’ve experienced them are insane. If the sole objective is to reduce death and injury of pedestrians, why 20mph, why not 10mph? And if 10mph, why not 0mph, and ban cars, vans and lorries? Just allow pedestrians and cyclists (both with a maximum speed of 3mph) on roads. We’d all be a lot fitter, and the air quality would be great!!! Mike Buchanan JUSTICE FOR MEN & BOYS http://atomic-temporary-215937230.wpcomstaging.com

TEXAS: “I’m going to be long-distance with my boyfriend so I made him sign a contract that means I can SUE him if he cheats on me… trolls say I’m psychotic but I think it’s genius”

Our thanks to Gerry for this. An extract:

According to the document, each party has to share the location with the other 24/7, answer any calls from the other, and stay in daily contact.

The contract read: ‘Both parties are required to do the following: All issues with the opposite party are required to be brought to the attention of the party in question.

‘Arguments must result in resolution, apology, and closing action of affection (long distance will require a gift of some sort to be ordered to each party’s home).

‘Location must always be turned on. Every call seen must be answered. We must call at least once every day. Keep in continuous contact throughout the day. Always give extra reassurance.’

Devon and Geren also listed various things that would be considered violations of the contract.

‘Violation 16: Cheating, including but not limited to: sleeping with someone of the opposite sex, having any sexual contact with someone of the opposite sex, messaging or calling the opposite sex, or sexual innuendos with ill intent.

‘Violation 17: Slander against either party included in this contract; complaining about your relationship, speaking poorly about your partner, etc.

‘Violation 18: ‘Neglect of participating party’s emotional or physical state. Therefore, a lack of reassurance would be considered under this violation,’ the document read.

Because the document isn’t notarized, it is not legally binding, so if Devon or Geren do cheat, neither of them can sue.

Hopes that MRI scans can screen men for prostate cancer

Interesting. More men die of prostate cancer than women die of breast cancer, so we look forward to a national screening programme for prostate cancer (as has long existed for breast cancer and cervical cancer) one day.

Toby Young: Am I not allowed to make fun of women’s football?

A piece in The Spectator. I’ve posted the following comments:
If I wanted to watch poor quality soccer I could watch women or 10-year-old boys play. It would be interesting to experiment and determine the maximum age of boys against whom the top female teams could compete successfully. It would probably be well under 10. Mike Buchanan LAUGHING AT FEMINISTS
