Our thanks to Paolo for this. There are clear parallels with the many cases of female prison officers having sexual relationships with male prisoners in the UK.

Interesting. An extract from the BBC piece:

Reform UK is doing well in the areas where it has fielded candidates – and nearly beat the Tories into second place in Blackpool South. [J4MB: Reform UK got 117 votes fewer than the Tories.] Reform leader Richard Tice said the results showed his party “is rapidly becoming the real opposition to Labour”.

Interesting. An extract:

“This 69ft (21m)-long piece of history, like a massive roll of wallpaper, includes 11,500 elegantly inscribed words, using specially made ink, and all written by calligrapher Stephanie von Werthern-Gill.

In an epic achievement of concentration, she says she kept going for 56 days, without any weekend breaks, determined to keep her rhythm going, phone switched off, her calm sustained by breathing exercises and classical music.

“All the right spelling?” joked the King, when he looked at the huge roll, which he said “goes on for miles”.

In fact, only a single dot over an i had been missing at the end, says the calligrapher, with no nightmare spelling mistakes discovered in the hand-stitched pages of copperplate writing.”

Needless to say, the focus in the BBC piece is on the forgetful Stephanie von Werthern-Gill, while less is written about the man who surely did work requiring far more skill, and didn’t make a mistake:

“It includes intricate illustrations by Tim Noad, who must soon be the country’s most widely viewed, but least well-credited, artist. Because as well as illustrating this historic document, he is the designer of the King’s cypher, the logo that you will begin to see on new banknotes, public buildings, uniforms and eventually on new postboxes.”

The fourth photograph in the piece is of Penny Mordaunt MP at the Coronation, the awful Conservative MP who almost ran out of the chamber of the House of Commons when the Speaker announced the next debate would be in commemmoration of International Men’s Day. After the Coronation much was made of Ms Mordaunt’s ‘strength’ in carrying the ceremonial sword, and most of the photographs in the media edited out the transparent matt plastic band which supported the sword’s weight. This photograph shows it. She’s hardly the natural successor to Boadicea, is she? God help us if she ever leads the Conservative party.

Doh! An extract:

Asked about Mr Johnson being turned away, Northern Ireland Secretary Chris Heaton-Harris, who served as his chief whip, told BBC Radio: “As someone who knows Boris well, I can’t say it completely surprises me… I do know that he then simply went home, got some ID, went back to the polling station and voted Conservative.”

A tip of the hat to Victoria Atkins for this. Does Ms Atkins not have the power to ORDER NHS chiefs to fire these grievance-mongering parasites, many of them on high salaries? In the course of a recent week-long stay in Bedford hospital I encountered perhaps 20 medical staff (doctors, nurses, X-ray operatives, pharmacists…) and they consisted (from memory) of the following:

Racial profile: 18 BME, 2 white (both young female doctors)

Sex profile: 16 women, 4 men

I saw few male employees other than cleaners and receptionists.

We know from Dr Vernon Coleman that medical schools were preferencing women over men to become medical students as far back as the 1970s, and about 70% of medical graduates have been women for decades. We know what a disastrous impact the feminisation of the medical profession has been, particularly in the case of the GP service, with more than 50% of GPs today being women.

White men constitute maybe 40-45% of the population, are EDI people in the NHS working to increase the proportion of male medical staff in general, and white men in particular? Of course not. That would be completely the wrong sort of EDI. Fire the damned lot of them, I say. Let them work in more useful environments such as McDonald’s, as cleaners.

Our thanks to Tom for pointing us to this. What’s not to like about a beautiful free girlfriend, virtual or otherwise? Apparently you can create one to your own specification in terms of age, appearance, personality, and more. Spoiler alert, if you take out the free subscription you’ll only get a line drawing of your fantasy girlfriend, with no facial features. For more, you’ll need to take out one of the paying subscriptions (from USD9.95pcm).
