Interesting. The first two paragraphs of the piece:
“That doyen of liberalism, John Stuart Mill, opined that, “A general State education is a mere contrivance for moulding people to be exactly like one another; and as the mould in which it casts them is that which pleases the dominant power in the government, whether this be a monarch, an aristocracy, or a majority of the existing generation; in proportion as it is efficient and successful, it establishes a despotism over the mind, leading by a natural tendency to one over the body.” On Liberty (1859).
This is intended to be the first of a sequence of articles on how authoritarianism is being implemented in 2025.”

Interesting. The end of the piece:
“Det Insp Delahay said it had been a “tragic case” which had caused “tremendous upset to Kyle’s family.
She said Pugh “used Kyle’s mental health history to manipulate and lie to his loved ones, as well as authorities, all to protect herself and through the whole investigation she has shown no remorse for her actions that day”.
In November 2024, Pugh was also found guilty of arson, for setting fire to Mr Pugh’s workshop in Newport in October 2021.
West Mercia Police said that whilst the workshop burnt down she sent Mr Pugh videos of the fire whilst singing Ring of Fire.
She was given a 19-month sentence suspended for two years for that offence.”
A suspended sentence followed by a man’s murder – what are the chances?

It’s popcorn time! A hilarious extract:
The petition continues: “The EHRC must rebuild its reputation as a bastion of impartiality and fairness…”
A bastion of feminist ideology, more like, in common with all “equality” bodies. Dr Mary-Ann Stephenson, the government’s proposed next chair of the EHRC, has never given a flying f*** about the human rights of males, and never will. Of that, we can be very sure.
Thanks to two-tier Keir, a mangina (male feminist) and muppet (male puppet, a tip of the hat to the man who gave me that), we have a female deputy Prime Minister, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and feminists heading up the Home Office (Yvette Bollocks) and the Ministry of Justice. What could possibly go wrong?

Our thanks to Warren for this. An extract:
“Gwyneth Paltrow teamed up with Heretic Parfum founder Douglas Little to create her Goop brand’s controversial “This Smells Like My Vagina” candle in 2020. The product had notes of geranium, citrusy bergamot, cedar absolutes, Damask rose, and ambrette seed.”
Paltrow would appear to have a most unusual-smelling vagina, possibly unique. Another extract:
“Paltrow noted Little launched the product on her website after she jokingly gave him her approval and they broke the internet with “This Smells Like My Vagina.” Despite the candle starting as a joke, the TV personality refused to take it down for a unique reason.
“I kept it on the site because there is an aspect to women’s sexuality that I think we’re socialized to feel a lot of shame. And I sort of loved this kind of punk rock idea.We are beautiful, and we are awesome, and go f-ck yourself,” Paltrow explained, earning more cheers from the crowd.
She received more praise in the comment section of the Instagram post, with fans hailing her for standing her ground and launching an unconventional product.
“There’s a quiet power in a woman who speaks her truth like that. It resonates deeply, like a reminder of something we’ve always known,” someone wrote.”
And these people have had the same votes as men in the UK for almost a century? That can’t be right, to put it mildly. Maybe we should reduce them to half a vote and see how that goes for a few years, before making a decision on the longer term? Please send me your thoughts on the matter. Thanks.

I was sad to learn of this. In 1975, at the age of 17, I watched one of the most amazing multi-act gigs of my life at Wembley stadium, described here. Elton John was the headlining act. The Beach Boys appeared as the sun was starting to set, and it was just magical, as if we’d all been transported to 1960s California. Earlier acts included Stackridge, Chaka Khan, Joe Walsh and Eagles (who Walsh was shortly afterwards to join). The feeling in the audience after the Beach Boys’ appearance was that even Elton John couldn’t follow that, but we were wrong. His act was sensational, ending with (if memory serves me correctly) Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting.
Happy days.

The start of the Wiki page on Enya:
“Eithne Pádraigín Ní Bhraonáin (born 17 May 1961; anglicised as Enya Patricia Brennan) known mononymously as Enya, is an Irish singer and composer. With an estimated equivalent of over 80 million albums sold worldwide,[3] Enya is the best-selling Irish solo artist, and the second-best-selling music act from Ireland overall, after only the rock band U2. Her music has been widely recognised for its use of multi-layers of her own vocals and instrumentation, lengthened reverb, and interwoven elements of Celtic music.”
In 1997 she bought (in an auction) the Victorian-era castle she renamed Manderley Castle. From the Wiki page on the castle:
“Irish musician Enya bought the castle in 1997 for €3.8 million ($4.1 million USD), reportedly outbidding Michael Flatley, who also viewed the house. Based on her interest in Daphne du Maurier‘s Rebecca, Enya renamed the castle “Manderley” for the fictional house that plays a central role in the 1938 novel.”
Our thanks to Tom for this very short video, The 64-year-old Irish singer Enya has never been married and never had kids, and lives in a castle with her cats. Sad.
