ICMI17 press conference. Video #199 of 800+ videos on the J4MB YouTube channel.

Today’s video is here (1:07:41).

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.

Sir Keir Starmer and identity politics

It appears Starmer is attempting to survive by branding himself a working-class prime minister. He has spoken countless times of his pride that his father was a toolmaker (video, 10:09), of course implying thereby that he himself is a tool (in English slang, a penis).

Yesterday the Telegraph published a piece Starmer: I’m a working class Prime Minister. From a speech yesterday in Hertfordshire:

“He said: “It is utter nonsense to suggest that everybody gets a fair chance in life, utter nonsense. I feel very strongly about this.

“I’m in that Cabinet as Prime Minister, having come from a working class background to be Prime Minister of this country. But that’s the exception, that is not the rule.” “

Let’s analyse that statement. On the one hand he’s pointing out he DID get a ‘fair chance in life’, having attained high offices despite coming from a working class background, while claiming it’s ‘utter nonsense to suggest that everybody gets a fair chance in life’. Then he’s implying it should be the ‘rule’ that people from such backgrounds reach such heights, despite how mathematically absurd that is. From what background is it the norm, or ever was, or could ever be? From no background. This is simply the politics of envy.

How I loathe the man and his obsession with identity politics. With every fibre of my being I wish him gone even though his successor – probably after the local elections meltdown in May – will almost certainly be markedly more left-wing.

Keir Starmer expected to appoint a straight man as head of the civil service

Please excuse the spoof headline. All three of the ‘great offices of state’ are held by women – Rachel from Accounts at the Treasury, Yvette Balls at the Foreign Office (has there ever been such a low-profile holder of the post?) and Shabana Mahmood at the Home Office.

The government is clearly in need of more women in senior positions. Antonia Romeo is expected to be appointed as head of the civil service shortly, and thereby become the Cabinet Secretary. From her Wiki page:

“As the Civil Service’s Gender Champion, one of Romeo’s first roles was to set up the Gender Equality Leadership Group, a group of director general level gender champions from all departments.”
