Our thanks to Ronald for this. An extract:

“An inquest into his death was held at Norfolk Coroner’s Court last August.

Assistant coroner Christopher Leach did not give a verdict of suicide after toxicology analysis showed the combination of recreational cocaine and alcohol found in Val’s system would have increased risk taking behaviour.

Instead, he recorded a narrative conclusion, stating Val had died “having applied a ligature to his own neck, his intentions when doing so being unknown”. [my emphasis]”

By this logic, deaths after the ingestion of cocaine and/or alcohol (and presumably other drugs) shouldn’t be considered as potential suicides.

“Bjorn-Andreas, my favourite YouTuber, is the man speaking here. He always has a down to earth kind of wisdom. His normal focus is country life, bushcraft and Viking lore. He is a historical novelist.”

Today’s file is here (45:35). Check out the description for the times of the various elements.

Over a period of more than two years we’ll be 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 presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, their House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50).

Finally, we run the award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. The comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

You can’t say you don’t get variety from this blog. Our thanks to Gerry for classic feminist anthems from Glenda Fairbach and Betty Swallocks and Loretta Tease. We’re still looking for Julie Bindel’s and Laura Bates’s anthems on the same topic.

Our thanks to Nigel for this (Telegraph, £). He writes:

“This article made me laugh. Just another of the seemingly endless parade of reasons women struggle to navigate everyday life, let alone a full-time job! In fact I’m sure many people get a bit less gung-ho as they age and become more cautious. But as usual it’s women who need lots of help and sharing and sympathy. It never seems to occur to the purveyors of this that adding it all together creates an image of females as very high maintenance indeed requiring all sorts of special consideration and support. And by ignoring men, suggests they either have none of these problems or simply just get on with it. In either case rather making the point as to why it’s literally a ‘man made’ world.”
