Great news.
For the past 10+ years I’ve had six-monthly PSA blood tests, and just had it confirmed I don’t have prostate cancer, the commonest cancer in men. If you’re a man aged 50 or older, you can demand a PSA test from your GP. I would urge you to do so, don’t let him/her talk you out of it.

Graham Lineham’s open letter to Armando Iannucci: “…these cancellations are all the actions of a left that has swapped anti-fascism and feminism for anti-Semitism and men’s rights activism.”
An interesting piece on Spiked, but this sentence baffles me:

“… these cancellations are all the actions of a left that has swapped anti-fascism and feminism for anti-Semitism and men’s rights activism.”Can anyone provide an example of the “left” abandoning feminism for men’s rights activism? Maybe Lineham is alluding to the ludicrous feminist lie that MRAs are behind trans ideology. I’ve never even heard of an MRA who is.

Amanda Blanc, Aviva boss who vets senior white male recruits, awarded damehood
Our thanks to Jeff for this piece in the Telegraph. Amanda Blanc, CEO of Aviva, was given a damehood in the honours list “for services to business, gender equality and net zero”. Bottom line? This government endorses discrimination against men in general, and white men in particular, as have many governments before it, most shamefully the Conservatives.

Aldi – why is their sparkling water more than 100x more acidic than their still water?
There must be some well-off people living in my home town of Bedford, because we have an out-of-town Waitrose. We also have several Aldi and Lidl stores for those with shallower pockets, and I tend to do my shopping at the former.
I drink bottled water when I can, not wishing to consume the female hormones that allegedly contaminate tap water. I normally buy Aldi’s still spring water, bottled at source, the Chase spring in LIchfield, Staffordshire. In common with most bottled water, the information panel has “typical values” of the content such as calcium, nitrate etc. The “pH at source” is given as 7.8, mildly alkaline.
As the store had recently run out of still water, I bought their sparkling water. Also coming from the Chase spring, all the “typical values” are identical, apart from one. The “pH at source” is given as 5.5, acidic – the pH differential of 2.3 indicates that the sparkling water is more than 100x more acidic than the still water.
Now my assumption is that the acidity simply results from the addition of carbon dioxide, which produces carbonic acid. If so, the “pH at source” should clearly be changed to 7.8, with an additional line saying that after carbonation, the pH is 5.5.
When I have a sensible response from Aldi on this matter, I’ll let you know.

Senior Scottish judge Lady Dorrian says pilot scheme of rape trials without juries is ‘worth doing’ – despite lawyers claiming it would deny suspects their ‘basic rights’
Appalling. An extract:

What ‘evidence’ would Lady Dorrian and others have after a pilot scheme of juryless trials? Presumably the conviction rates would increase, which is what such people want, so juryless trials would be judged “successful” regardless of the innocence or guilt of the men in question. Yet more innocent men in prison, a feminist dream.Conservative MSP Russell Findlay asked for her own view on the matter, with the Lord Justice Clerk saying: ‘I took the view that this was something worth looking at, that was my position. Simply that it’s something worth looking at.
‘It’s worth examining, it’s worth having a pilot because, as I’ve already said, then we would have the evidence.’
