An interesting piece by David Keighley for TCW. An extract:

“A BBC spokesman quoted in a Daily Telegraph article about the News-watch survey said: ‘The BBC has one of the most open and comprehensive systems for handling complaints in the UK media, regulated by a fully independent regulator in Ofcom, which in its most recent major research project found very high levels of satisfaction in our system. The vast majority of complaints are addressed and resolved at Stage 1 of the process, with only a small portion progressing to the Executive Complaints Unit for further consideration, so no meaningful comparison can be drawn from outcomes between the two stages. The ECU uphold complaints where they consider there to have been a breach of editorial standards.’

Both strands of that defence are disingenuous, outrageous tosh.”

In 2014 – 12 years ago – we published Our first official complaint to the BBC – a Newsnight episode on domestic abuse/violence breaches 50+ BBC Editorial Guidelines. Our complaint was rejected without explanation, our appeal likewise. We haven’t wasted our time submitting a formal complaint to the BBC since.

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.

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“MGM just one of the areas where religion and culture collide with modern society. Unsurprising teaching in a Mosque from an Imam. Though I note that the NSS leaves out the bit, reported elsewhere, where he says Husbands are to work and support the wives and family specially female relatives. I suppose the entertaining part is the clash between “multiculturalism” and at the same time insisting adherence to an orthodoxy. One of which is although women have free choice to do as they will, it is still the husband’s responsibility to work and earn money to support the whole family, even if he’s kicked out of his home and excluded from seeing his children. So orthodox an idea that I suspect no one will object to the Koran’s teachings that men should be husbands and lead their family by supporting it through working hard.

The cheeky part of me wonders if the latest Green MP, a declared feminist and admirer of the “strong women” of the feminist movements. Has seen this and reflects on the “Muslim” block vote that put her there. Will there come a time when the price of that vole will be more than spouting slogans about Gaza? For instance Jess Phillip’s tarnished halo as it become evident, to the women themselves, that her crusade for “women and girls” doesn’t extend to those victimised by Grooming Gangs…. just in case the Muslim vote gets the extra few hundred votes that will lose her her seat. Turns out “multiculturalism” works in complex ways.”

Appalling. An extract:

“The use of direct oral suction during circumcision has been the subject of medical and halachic (Jewish legal) debate for years. The Health Ministry has repeatedly warned against the practice and instructed mohels to use a glass tube or designated sterile device to avoid direct contact between the mohel’s mouth and the infant.

At the same time, the Interministerial Oversight Committee of Mohalim has stressed that mohels are required to inform parents of the risks associated with direct oral suction and obtain their explicit consent. Still, in some communities, the practice appears to continue despite the known dangers, sometimes without parents fully understanding the possible health consequences.

In 2012, the issue made international headlines after health authorities in New York documented a series of confirmed neonatal herpes cases linked to ritual circumcisions involving direct oral suction. In Israel, Schneider Children’s Medical Center also publicized similar cases, including two infants hospitalized in 2016 after contracting herpes in the circumcision area.”

A deeply moving piece in yesterday’s Telegraph. The start:

“I want to scream. We know that this far-Left Government, led by a strange, soulless prime minister would struggle to find a moral compass in a Sainsbury’s home geometry set. Until now, though, we may have clung to the hope that even Labour would draw the line at evil. Apparently not. If the test of a civilisation is how it treats its most helpless members then tomorrow evening [J4MB: This evening] we will find out whether Britain can still call itself civilised; or is this a country where bats enjoy more protection than babies?

The House of Lords will vote on Clause 208 of the Crime and Policing Bill which, if passed into law, means it would no longer be an offence for a woman to induce her own abortion at any stage of pregnancy for any reason (including not wanting a baby girl) and right up to birth.” 

The legislative change is expected to pass. Another extension of women’s unaccountability, to the “right” to kill unborn babies which are perfectly viable.

Our thanks to John for this. An extract:

“Richins was arrested in March 2023 – two months after she published the picture book Are You With Me?, which she said was designed to help people – including her three children – cope with the death of a loved one.

“We wrote this book and we’re really hoping that it provides some comfort for not just obviously, our family, but other families that are going through the same thing,” she told radio station KPCW in an interview before her arrest.

She dedicated the book to her husband, calling him “my amazing husband and a wonderful father”.”
