Our thanks to Nigel for this. An extract:

“Potter, of Westfield Gardens in Wymondham, did not enter a formal plea to the charge [J4MB: blackmail] but told magistrates: ‘I think I will be pleading not guilty.’ [J4MB: (S)he appears to be confused, perhaps not for the first time?]”

Nigel writes:

“Starmer’s Britain. We have the feminists to thank for Gender Studies and our courts seriously calling Miss Potter, “Miss Potter”. How anybody keeps a straight face is beyond me.

Over 50 years ago I recall Marc Bolan fronting T-REX in a red evening gown and feather Boa. David Bowie on an album cover being Katherine Hepburn. Even in Glam Rock one knew it was performance not reality. Starmer sort of epitomises the vacuity of being unable to separate reality from poses. Starmer has no goals or project other than occupying the role of prime minister and at this point simply listening to his focus group (aka the Parliamentary Labour Party) to stay in office… after all he’s admitted he doesn’t read “his” speeches before delivering them!

He said sorting out the difference between male and female is “difficult and complex” so anything actually difficult and complex is inevitably well beyond him. He “presides” over the real power, his officials and supposed civil service and mouths whatever the factions in his party require that day.”

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“The idiocies of where we are now are rather illustrated by this local story. First off an example of the volatile nature of lesbian relationships, noted by research but generally sidestepped. The female sense of entitlement, I can think of many heterosexual couples in working in care roles who wouldn’t think that they could/should have shifts moulded to their convenience, usually the men in particular simply accept “its the job”. In its generally held to be not a good idea for “partners” to work closely together and often in heterosexual (and to be fair male homosexual couples) one or other will make a move to not work closely with each other. It is no surprise that it’s a female couple which feels entitled to dictate shifts to convenience them to be together. Then of course, to being nice to women, the “wife” may not have known about her “wife’s” plan to attack their boss but can you imagine a husband, who had already been harassing this manager with their wife, getting off as if just a nice person who somehow was not implicated? Really a vignette of the times as “what women want” trumps any accepted work practices or common sense nor indeed doing a job as priority while you’re being paid to do it.”

Today’s video is here (9:07).

Over a period of more than two years we’re 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 (the originator of Preference Theory) presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, the video of their House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50).

Finally, we run the award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. The related comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

It’s been four months since I gave up alcohol for good, and I haven’t had a desire to drink alcohol since. The decision to become abstinent (at 67) was without doubt one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It’s good to be happier, healthier and wealthier.

I’m a supporter of Lifering, an American organisation that promotes abstinence but doesn’t run 12-step or similar programmes, and is strictly secular. They’ve just published a piece on Dry January. One of their key offerings is (free) online video meetings over Zoom – there’s no need to download software to use Zoom – during which you can keep your video and audio switched off, if you wish. The online meetings schedule is here.

If you wish to become abstinent, and are perhaps struggling to achieve that goal, feel free to email me (mike@j4mb.org.uk). I’ll do what I can to support you in your journey.

Cassie Jaye was the director of The Red Pill, an important film released in 2016. Her YouTube channel is here. In the past 24 hours she’s published on her channel video interviews of Karen Straughan (50:49) and Alison Tieman (43:46), recorded during ICMI18, the second of two ICMIs in London we hosted (the earlier one was ICMI16). I didn’t even know of the existence of these interviews until today. Enjoy!
