Male police officers paid £22k in sex discrimination case
Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“Yet another case where an official body is caught under the Equality Act. Not just any organisation but the Police. found against because of direct discrimination against men. This is not the only force caught out for direct discrimination in recruitment, promotions, training opportunities etc. Nor the only core public service to do so, the Army and RAF have lost such cases too. That there are such cases shows that when realise what their actual rights are (rather than some HR departments made up rules) they can assert them successfully.
There are whole organisations usually supported by public money to tell women about their “rights” and practically none for men, certainly none funded by the public. A minister for boys and men could usefully begin by huge publicity campaigns that tell men what their actual legal rights are! And fund bodies who can support men achieve at least their rights under law. Thus far the huge campaigns and funding have all created the idea that Equality Act protects “women” and women and girls only. Yet in fact the protected characteristic is “Sex” (as recently confirmed to mean biological sex) and that means men and boys too. The other important thing is that generating more and more such cases will spread the message that in fact males can be and are discriminated against.”

Controversial plans to class MGM as potential child abuse in latest guidelines for England and Wales dropped
Utterly predictable. The start of the piece:
“Circumcision has been classed as a potentially harmful practice in new official guidance for criminal prosecutors in England and Wales, but controversial plans to class it as possible child abuse have been dropped.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) decided against including circumcision alongside dowry abuse, witchcraft and female genital mutilation in its new guidance on honour-based abuse, after objections from Jewish and Muslim groups when the plans were revealed by the Guardian.
Instead it has included a similar section on circumcision in updated guidance on offences against the person. It says: “In certain circumstances, such as the procedure being carried out by those falsely claiming to be suitably qualified practitioners or carried out in non-sterile conditions, it can cross the line into a harmful practice.”
Prosecutors are advised to consider child cruelty offences under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 or assault offences under the Offences against the Person Act 1861. [J4MB emphasis. Performing MGM is unquestionably an offence under OAPA1861, being at least ABH and almost certainly GBH.] The guidance also refers to separate guidance on child abuse.”
