Interesting (BBC). Needless to say, Mia Ballard is unaccountable and a victim. An extract:
“Ballard, who sold almost 2,000 copies of the book in the UK, has denied using AI to write the book – telling the New York Times an acquaintance she hired to edit the original self-published version of the novel had used AI.
“This controversy has changed my life in many ways and my mental health is at an all time low and my name is ruined for something I didn’t even personally do,” she said, noting she was pursuing legal action.
The New York Times, which first reported the story, said it “appears to be the first commercial novel from a major publishing house to be pulled over evidence of AI use”.
A lengthy piece in the Times (£) states that detection software suggests 78% of the text was generated by AI. It seems implausible that one of the world’s largest publishing houses, Hachette, would have used easily-detectable AI software to “edit” a book. But then this is a book written by a woman and almost certainly edited by one or more women.

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.

Here is the list of all 185 unelected Peers in the House of Lords that voted to decriminalise women aborting their babies up to birth by voting against (“Not Contents”) amendment 424 proposed by Baroness Monckton of Dallington Forest, to leave out clause 208 in the Crime and Policing Bill. They won against the 148 Peers that voted against decriminalisation of abortion up to birth.
This is a rogue Parliament hijacked by radical feminists, as only 1% of the British population support abortion up to birth, and not representative of the people. I would suggest people email Peers to let them know how they feel about their vote. Or send each of them a postcard with the photo of a defenseless 8 1/2 month old baby who didn’t choose their death.

An interesting piece by David Keighley for TCW. An extract:
“A BBC spokesman quoted in a Daily Telegraph article about the News-watch survey said: ‘The BBC has one of the most open and comprehensive systems for handling complaints in the UK media, regulated by a fully independent regulator in Ofcom, which in its most recent major research project found very high levels of satisfaction in our system. The vast majority of complaints are addressed and resolved at Stage 1 of the process, with only a small portion progressing to the Executive Complaints Unit for further consideration, so no meaningful comparison can be drawn from outcomes between the two stages. The ECU uphold complaints where they consider there to have been a breach of editorial standards.’
Both strands of that defence are disingenuous, outrageous tosh.”

“MGM just one of the areas where religion and culture collide with modern society. Unsurprising teaching in a Mosque from an Imam. Though I note that the NSS leaves out the bit, reported elsewhere, where he says Husbands are to work and support the wives and family specially female relatives. I suppose the entertaining part is the clash between “multiculturalism” and at the same time insisting adherence to an orthodoxy. One of which is although women have free choice to do as they will, it is still the husband’s responsibility to work and earn money to support the whole family, even if he’s kicked out of his home and excluded from seeing his children. So orthodox an idea that I suspect no one will object to the Koran’s teachings that men should be husbands and lead their family by supporting it through working hard.
The cheeky part of me wonders if the latest Green MP, a declared feminist and admirer of the “strong women” of the feminist movements. Has seen this and reflects on the “Muslim” block vote that put her there. Will there come a time when the price of that vole will be more than spouting slogans about Gaza? For instance Jess Phillip’s tarnished halo as it become evident, to the women themselves, that her crusade for “women and girls” doesn’t extend to those victimised by Grooming Gangs…. just in case the Muslim vote gets the extra few hundred votes that will lose her her seat. Turns out “multiculturalism” works in complex ways.”
