Interesting. My thanks to Ed Bartlett for forwarding this from Lyn Crabtree:
“We are launching the new website for International Falsely Accused Day soon. We would like to add to the site any information regarding supporting organisations for IFAD. Also the whereabouts of any protests or observations of the day by individual countries.
I’m doing my best to gather information but struggling to get this. Could you possibly put out a call to action on this?
I’m grateful for any assistance.
Best always,
Lyn

I am delighted to report that Elizabeth Hobson – leader of J4MB over May 2020 to March 2021, at a time when J4MB was still a political party – has this morning given birth to a 6lb 2oz daughter, Gioia (pronounced ‘Joy-a’) Neidre Gilardoni. Eli and the baby are doing well, and her Italian partner is delighted. Eli already has two sons from a former relationship. We wish them all well.

Our thanks to Graham for this (Mail, £). Quelle surprise. The teams play at The Dripping Pan. Doubtless some well-off chivalrous men will get the money together to get the club out of the s**t for the time being.
Not one women’s football team in the world is self-financing, on account of how few people are willing to pay money to watch slow and unskilled teams playing football (understandably). All the women’s teams are parasites on the associated men’s teams, and the same is true for other sports. From a recent online article about the 2025 Euro championships:
“However, the event was not financially worthwhile for UEFA. According to blue Sport information, UEFA is expecting a loss of 20 to 25 million euros. In comparison: the 2024 European Men’s Championship brought the European Football Union a whopping 1.2 billion euros in profit. [J4MB: £1.05 billion, £1,050,000,000.] “The financial result of this European Championship will ultimately be more positive than expected. But it’s not a loss, it’s an investment,” says Nadine Kessler.” [J4MB: In the same sense that buying shares in a company established to manufacture paper teapots would be an “investment”.]
The Lewes FC women’s team were relegated from the Women’s Championship, the second tier, last year.
The solution for Lewes FC is obvious. Get rid of the women’s team, and let women fund it. Women are allegedly strong and amazing so it’s time they started to pay for their own sports.

Today’s video is here (4:08).
Over a period of more than two years we’ll be posting links to one video daily from the J4MB YouTube channel. The channel includes our media appearances since 2012, 300+ videos of talks and other materials from the International Conferences on Men’s Issues (2014 – ) and other men’s issues conferences we’ve been involved with, and so much more. The individual conference playlists are here.
Our website Campaign for Merit in Business was created in the light of the considerable evidence of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline. Mike Buchanan, Steve Moxon and Dr Catherine Hakim presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, the House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50 ).
Finally, we run the award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. The comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

I recently took a fortnight’s holiday in Dublin and took the opportunity to visit Titanic Belfast. After that I couldn’t resist visiting Van Morrison’s birthplace in East Belfast. I’ve never seen so many Union Jack flags in my life. A small brass plaque by the door of the terraced house where he was born in 1945 is almost the only public evidence of his Belfast roots (he left in 1966, after the breakup of the band Them, best known for their 1964 song Gloria). It was only through reading his Wikipedia entry today that I learned he was knighted in 2016 for services to the music industry and to tourism in Northern Ireland. He’ll be 80 in 25 days’ time.
In the possibly unlikely event that the BBC pleads with me to appear on Desert Island Discs (the first hosts of which were Roy Plomley and Michael Parkinson, later ones Sue Lawley, Kirsty Young and Lauren Laverne) I’d probably choose a couple of Van the Man’s songs including Streets of Arklow from Veedon Fleece (1974), his eighth studio album. From the Wiki entry on the album:
“Morrison recorded the album shortly after his divorce from wife Janet (Planet) Rigsbee. With his broken marriage in the past, Morrison visited Ireland on holiday for new inspiration, arriving on 20 October 1973 (with his fiancée at the time, Carol Guida). While there he wrote, in less than three weeks, the songs included on the album (except “Bulbs“, “Country Fair” and “Come Here My Love”).[2]
It has been compared to Astral Weeks (1968) with the same “stream of consciousness” lyrics but musically it is more Celtic, acoustic and heavily influenced by Morrison’s Irish trip. It has been called a genuinely underground album that he seemed to disown quickly after recording and has been referred to as Morrison’s “forgotten masterpiece”.
