Today’s video is here (46:46).

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.

ONS staff win right to work from home all the time

/ Mike Buchanan / 1 Comment

Our thanks to Nigel for this. Civil service productivity will decline even further as an unsupervised largely female workforce works even less. An extract:

“The climbdown does not bode well for other public sector services attempting to get staff to return to the office. 

Unions hailed the announcement as a ‘breakthrough’ which they said was the first time an office attendance mandate had been broken. 

The Public and Commercial Services union (PCS) said the deal was ‘more sensible’ than the attempts to force staff to work from the office for two days. 

General secretary Fran Heathcote said: ‘For the first time, a rigid office attendance mandate has been broken and replaced with a more sensible, flexible approach based on what actually works.’ “

Nigel writes:

“A symptom of decline, “flexible working”, “caring responsibilities” “mental health”. The ONS had been for years obsessed with accuracy but post pandemic it made a series of gaffes. Basically its usual checks hadn’t worked. And so it wanted its staff “in” (but actually only 2 days a week).

A decade ago the Swedes were at least honest in that their “solution” to the “pay gap” and men’s focus on work was to get men to work less (long parental leave “compulsory”). Fortunately for their economy their productive sector (male “dominated” ) carried on being busy. Meanwhile our public sector in the UK becomes more and more dysfunctional as it is run for the benefit of its largely female workforce. The cancer spreads as male workers realise that they the ones still working when the office is empty and not wanting to be “mugs” they too take advantage.

“Work /life balance” “flexible working” never includes more work. So though it may not be so bad if the ONS continues to embarrass itself with duff stats it is just one casualty of feminism. As are so many services and even productive industries.”

Hadiza Atunse, 25, found with bag of cocaine after crashing her car spared jail after court hears she was having a bout of ‘excited delirium syndrome’ at the time of the smash

/ Mike Buchanan / 1 Comment

Our thanks to Ken for this. Ms Atunse smashed her car into a Mini Cooper before landing in a row of hedges,. She was driving without insurance, failed to provide a sufficient breath sample despite being given multiple opportunities, and upon arriving at hospital refused to provide a blood sample. Nothing to be suspicious of there, no siree! Her defence solicitor said:

“She did not have much recollection of the entire process other than being very frightened and scared [J4MB: Frightened AND scared, not just one or the other.] She has accepted that she was in possession of cocaine on the day [J4MB: That’s good of her.] but says: ‘I need to get this out of the way and I need to get on with my life’.”
