Matt Goodwin: “My speech in the European Parliament.”

Interesting. The start of Matt’s piece:

I’ve been on the road around Europe meeting with politicians to discuss the similar problems we are facing and how to fix them. This included delivering a speech to Members of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. A transcript of the speech is below.

Why is British politics experiencing a historic political ‘realignment’ that will, if the polls are correct, deliver a Reform-led government, headed by Nigel Farage?

To answer this question, let me first set out a few facts about what is currently underway in Britain.

By the year 2063, white Britons will be a minority in the country.

Among the under-40s, this will happen much earlier, potentially as early as the year 2050 —only twenty-five years away.

By the year 2079, the foreign-born –people who were born outside Britain— and their immediate descendants, will represent a majority in the entire country.

In England, already today, more than 40 per cent of all babies have at least one parent who was born outside the country, with the most common including India, Pakistani, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Ghana, Afghanistan, and Iraq.

By 2100, by the end of this century, one in four British adults and roughly one in three young people, unless we change the direction of travel, will follow Islam.

Today, more than one million people in Britain do not speak English, while in more than 2,000 schools a majority of children do not speak English as their first language.

Muhammad, including variants of the name, has been the most popular boys name in Britain, since 2016.

And in many areas of the country, somewhere between 20 and 40 per cent of people from minority backgrounds openly reject an English, British, and UK identity.

All these things points to the answer to the question of why British politics is currently in a state of profound and historic change —a political realignment.

We have an immigration crisis, a demographic crisis, which nobody in Westminster is seriously responding to. And this crisis has two key elements…”

Scot Squad and River City actors to star in film to be shot in Glasgow – crowdfunder target passed!!!

Great news. Three weeks ago we posted a blog piece about a film it was hoped to make about Male Domestic Abuse, to be filmed in Scotland – background here. At the time £14,560 had been donated towards the crowdfunder (target – £18,000). We made a donation, as did some supporters, the names of some of whom (and their messages of support) are here. I’m struck by how many donations (including some substantial ones) came from women. The donations recently passed the target, currently £19,040 – here.

Our thanks to everyone who supported the crowdfunder.

Sumira Amin, 36, claimed £56,000 in Universal Credit from DWP – but she owned her house

Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract takes up the remainder of this blog piece:

“Land registry records showed Amin and her partner had bought the property in 2018. The MEN reports her barrister, Simon Leong, said: “She has a complicated relationship with the father of her children.

“He pressured her to have her name on the mortgage to make it easier for him. She is the sole carer of her children, her children’s father is not a supportive gentleman.” [J4MB: What an extraordinary scenario in which to employ the word “gentleman”. That aside, the suggestion is that the man isn’t pursued by the state for child support, and begs the question, why not? Perhaps Sumira Amin agreed to support the children alone – well, with taxpayer’s money, anyway – if she gave him ownership of the house?]

Judge Paul Lawton said: “Looking at all of your references and your pre-sentence report, it is clear that, as the owner of a vagina, you are the sort of individual who is not the driving force or the planning mind behind this sort of benefit fraud. [J4MB: We may have added the italicised words there, but they’re implied. So, will the “planning mind”, presumably the father of the children, be located and prosecuted? Don’t hold your breath.]

“You were put in place and pushed on by somebody else to make these claims. It seems to me you are a woman who needs help at this stage in your life.”

The BBC and Jack Thorne (Adolescence) collaborate to create the first TV adaptation of William Golding’s “Lord of the Flies” (1954).

Lord of the Flies (1954) is a classic of English literature. The start of the Wiki page on the book:

Lord of the Flies is the 1954 debut novel of British author William Golding. The plot concerns a group of prepubescent British boys who are stranded on an uninhabited island and their disastrous attempts to govern themselves that led to a descent into savagery. The novel’s themes include morality, leadership, and the tension between civility and chaos.

Lord of the Flies was generally well received and is a popularly assigned book in schools.”

What a tempting book for ideologues to use as a vehicle for anti-masculinity narratives. From the BBC today, First look images for Jack Thorne’s adaptation of Lord of the Flies revealed. The start of the piece:

The BBC and Stan have revealed the first images from a forthcoming adaptation of William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, adapted and directed for television by multi-BAFTA award winners, writer Jack Thorne (Adolescence, [J4MB emphasis] His Dark Materials, Help, Enola Holmes) and director Marc Munden (The Mark of Cain, National Treasure, Help). Produced by Eleven (Ten Pound Poms, Sex Education) for BBC iPlayer and BBC One, the series is a co-production with Stan, who will air the drama in Australia. Sony Pictures Television will distribute the series internationally….

Jack Thorne’s adaptation will be the first for television. Truthful to the original novel – set in the early 1950s on an unnamed Pacific island – Thorne’s adaptation delves further into the book’s emotive themes; human nature, the loss of innocence and boyhood masculinity.” [J4MB emphasis]

Following the execrable representation of “human nature” – in plain English, masculinity – in Adolescence, we know exactly what to expect in the new series – more of the relentless narrative that males are monsters.

Thailand. You couldn’t make it up…

I’m greatly looking forward to travelling to Thailand at the end of the month for the XY Crew Jamboree in Pattaya, widely known as “Sin City”, although that will be of no interest to MRAs, obviously. My thanks again to the generous supporters who helped me on my way with their donations to my crowdfunder. I thought the following extract from the Wiki page on Pattaya might amuse this blog’s followers:

“An article in the British tabloid the Daily Mirror described Pattaya as ‘the world’s sex capital’, a ‘modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah’. This provoked anger from government officials as high up as Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha.

Pol Col Apichai Krobpetch, the Pattaya police superintendent, denied that Pattaya is a sex trade paradise. Upset about the British media’s stories, he insisted they were fabricated. “There is no such thing as prostitution in Pattaya,” said Col Apichai. “Where did they get the figure of 27,000 sex workers in Pattaya? Anyone can make up this information….Thai ladies having sex with foreigners is their personal issue. If they like each other, I don’t see anything wrong with what they do behind closed doors.” [J4MB emphasis. Good points, well made, we think. Julie Bindel might possibly disagree.]

In response, Pattaya social worker Surang Janyam, the director of Service Workers IN Group Foundation, said that the estimated number of Pattaya prostitutes published in the Daily Mirror is inaccurate: “27,000 sex workers in Pattaya is way too low. We have a lot more sex workers than that.” [J4MB emphasis.]

As evidence of the government’s commitment to clean up Pattaya, on 26 February 2017 at 20:00, [J4MB emphasis: Good to know the date, and time. You can’t be too careful with these things.] 60 police officers and soldiers raided Pattaya’s notorious Soi 6 to check for violations of the law. When the checks were completed, police announced that all licenses were in order and there was no law breaking of any kind, including prostitution, taking place there. In June 2019, over twenty high ranking Police, Army and Local government officers toured Pattaya and reported the central streets safe and free from illegal activities.”

Clearly the place is as respectable as Bognor Regis, or the XY Crew Jamboree wouldn’t be held there. From the Wiki page on Bognor Regis:

“Following his stay, [J4MB: The section refers to King George V.] the Bognor Urban District Council petitioned the king to bestow the suffix “Regis” (“of the King”) on the town. The petition was presented to Lord Stamfordham, the king’s private secretary, who in turn delivered it to the king. King George supposedly replied, “Oh, bugger Bognor.” [J4MB emphasis.] Lord Stamfordham then went back to the petitioners and told them, “the King has been graciously pleased to grant your request.” The change of name from Bognor to Bognor Regis formally took effect on 26 July 1929.”

I have a habit of seeking to do things well before necessary – I frequently take trains and planes before the ones I’ve booked – and so it was that I visited yesterday one of the foreign exchange places in my throbbing home town of Bedford, Bedfordshire, to enquire about obtaining some Thai bahts for the Jamboree. To my surprise, the snarling 200+kg young lady mountain with blue hair and a nose ring informed me that they didn’t stock the currency, but agreed with my contention that this was remarkable given that Thailand has long been a popular holiday destination. We then had the following exchange, after she handed me a sheet of paper:

She: “This is our list of the 30 countries for which we hold currency in stock, or can order currencies to be delivered within two working days.”

Me: “Thank you, Miss.” She winced. “Would it help you if, in future, I limit my choice of holiday destinations to those countries for which you can provide currencies?”

She (cheerfully): “Yes, that would be a good idea, I think.”

It’s not right that some people have the vote. I have a hunch she won’t be voting for Reform UK at the next general election.

Bello Hair Helper Spray

I recently received an email with the following:

“Hey, just wanted to follow up in case my last message got buried.

We’re inviting a few select creators to try out tryBello’s Bello Hair Helper Spray — powered by a lightweight, effective formula designed to support thicker, healthier-looking hair — 100% free, no strings attached. You came to mind because I loved your content on @justiceformenboys. [J4MB: That’s nice, but wouldn’t you assume a hair product wouldn’t have “strings attached”? Very odd. Anyway, good to see that our campaigning for the human rights of men and boys, and exposing feminism as a deranged men- and boys-hating ideology, is gaining traction. ]

Would love to send you a bottle if you’re up for it. Just reply with yes and I’ll send over the details!

Thanks again,

[Name redacted.]

One of the company’s products on sale at Amazon is here. The description:

“2pcs Bello Hair Helper Spray, Rice Water Hair Growth Spray for Women & Men, Nutrition Hair Regrowth Serum for Thinning Hair, Hair Thickening and Nourishing,50ml*2”

“… for Women & Men”? Hmm… I shall reply to the lady who sent me the email, saying we’ll test and hopefully endorse the product if and when they change all their product descriptions to the correct format, “for Men & Women”.
