A piece in yesterday’s Telegraph (£). I was contacted yesterday by the journalist, Tim Sigsworth, who asked me for comments on the issue. I sent him a lengthy response and he drew the following for his piece:
Mike Buchanan, founder of Justice for Men & Boys, said crimes by boys and young men were not being caused by emojis.
“This is a moral panic,” he said. “There is a boy crisis but of course – due to gynocentrism – the mainstream media’s focus is on the impact on girls. Adolescence is a scandalous anti-male propaganda piece.”
End of extract. The Daily Mail picked up on my comments, in this piece (£):
“However, Mike Buchanan, of Justice for Men & Boys, labelled it as ‘moral panic’ and argued that crimes by boys and young men ‘are not being caused by emojis’, accusing the media of ‘gynocentrism’ in focusing solely on the dangers posed to girls.”

Justice for Men & Boys 
looking at the daily mail piece( urgh)
Ive never seen so much utter tosh of “journalistic” click bait.
the emoji table alone is a wonderful example of the blind being led by the blind..
meanwhile kids are and have been( especially boys/men) demonised as scapegoats of societys ills by the deliberate incompetence of politicans and activists determined to turn the UK into their little fiefdom for their own benefit…
they will be telling us next that there are “monsters” under the bed….

In the news yesterday there was a. A piece about the Southport murder and his radicalisation by islamist/terrorist information. b. the sentencing of another muderer who is a psychotic obsessed with murder (doing a criminology degree) and c. a story about the Trans teenager murdered by a teenage boy goaded by a girl who was obsessed with death and murder. None were 13, in fact 2 were men. At no point was Andrew Tate mentioned. And of course they are newsworthy because of their rarity. So we are left with a fictional story. Which apparently requires far more attention than the actual problem of “knife crime”, involvement of teenage boys in Gangs and conflicts between those gangs. So “moral panic” absolutely fits.
