Kelvin Mackenzie was a guest on Michelle Dewberry’s GB News show Dewbs & Co. this evening, video of the show here. At 27:33 Dewberry started the piece on compensation for women who (allegedly) hadn’t bothered to check out the age at which they’d start to draw the state pension. We then had to suffer two minutes of a WASPI whiner wittering on. At 29:45 Dewberry turned to Mackenzie for his reaction, which started well with this remark by him:

“We shouldn’t give them a penny!!!”

A good point, well made, I thought. It’s worth listening to the ensuing discussion.

The first item on BBC News at One TV programme was a lengthy propaganda piece on the recommendations of the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman. Expect the government to surrender, as it always does when it comes to privileging women and girls.

The board members of the ombudsman are here. Six of the 11 members, including the two executive members, are women:

• Rebecca Hilsenrath, Chief Executive – a cardboard cut-out feminist, former Chief Legal Officer and then Chief Executive Officer of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. You may enjoy the sight of her being humiliated by Philip Davies in 2017, when Philip was on the Women and Equality Committee – here (video, 9:29).
• Gill Kilpatrick, Chief Operating Officer.

Absurd. Where is the compensation for men forced to retire later than women for so long, despite (a) men dying earlier than women, on average, and (b) men paying almost 75% of the income tax which largely pay for state pensions?

A piece in The Guardian by Fiona Sinclair, CEO of the Leeds international piano competition. An extract:

“Among members of the World Federation of International Music Competitions, men won 82% of the most recent 40 major piano competitions, and more than a third of these had all-male finals. The violin world reveals a striking contrast, where women claim 75% of first prizes.”

You will be shocked to learn Ms Sinclair has nothing to say about the scandalous violin gender gap.

So, what might explain these gender gaps? Obvious explanations include:

1. More men then women play the piano at the highest level, more women than men play the violin at a high level.
2. In an orchestra there is seldom more than one musician playing the piano at any given time. So the pianist’s responsibility for always hitting the right notes is a heavy one. This isn’t true for violinists, who generally play within a large number of violinists – the collective noun is a “coven” – so can make plenty of mistakes without anyone noticing. This large number is a very old job creation scheme for women, as all but one of them could be replaced with a microphone. Plus women like to gossip with other women, so a coven of violinists is an attractive prospect for them.
3. Two aspects of the physical superiority of men over women have a bearing on the matter. Women can’t cover the entire width of the keyboard with their shorter arms, and being weaker than men, are more inclined to carry their violins from concert to concert, rather than their pianos.
