Had he lived long enough, Elvis Presley would have been 90 today. From his Wiki profile:

“His first public performance was a singing contest at the Mississippi–Alabama Fair and Dairy Show on October 3, 1945, when he was 10; he sang “Old Shep” and recalled placing fifth.”

I think we can all take some comfort from that.

Our thanks to Joe for this. Predictably, the BBC tried to hide the sex of the offender with the headline:

“Ex-prison officer jailed over sex with inmate”.

Another farce (Times, £). The male judge commented that her culpability was “undermined” because of the divorce and the way she was coping with her problems (alcohol, cocaine, gambling).

Interesting. I cannot find the word “feminist” in Matt Goodwin’s piece. Julie Bindel has penned a response A response to Matt Goodwin’s claims, with the byline:

“Yet another man is claiming that feminists don’t care about ‘white, working class girls’ being abused by predatory gangs of men. I put him right.”

Goodwin’s piece is about the progressive-leaning elite media class in general. Bindel’s piece, as so often, is mainly about herself (and abusive white men).
