Racehorse trainer Poppy Skinner, 29, who got so drunk (two bottles of red wine and several mojito cocktails) at dinner party she drove someone else’s car home before crashing it avoids jail because vagina

Here we go again. Our thanks to Sue for this. Extracts:

“Gemma McKernan, in mitigation, told the court Skipper had no previous convictions and worked ‘incredibly hard and long hours’ with racing horses.

A pre-sentence report said they could not make any community recommendations as Skipper either did not meet the criteria or was unsuitable due to her ‘onerous work commitments’…

Recorder Nicholas Haggan said the offences were so serious the only sentence was imprisonment but that he would suspend it as she had a realistic prospect of rehabilitation. [J4MB emphasis. Translation of “realistic prospect of rehabilitation” – vagina.]

The defendant was given a 12-week jail term, suspended for two years and banned from driving for two years.”

Rupert Lowe MP: “The family court system is built on the sad idea that fathers are less essential than mothers in the raising of children – that is wrong, and a Restore Britain Government would change it.”

Interesting.

Gold

I’m not a financial advisor, so please feel free to stop reading now. In fact, I strongly advise you not to take any advice on financial matters from me.

With that out of the way, it seemed to me yesterday that with the recent 10% slump in the price of gold, now might be as good a time as any to start investing in the metal. There are many ways to do so, one being through the government-owned Royal Mint, the UK’s official maker of British coins, located in Llantrissant, Wales, since 1968. Its website is here.

The Royal Mint offers a number of options to invest in three precious metals – gold, silver, platinum – and in a number of forms including bars, coins… I’ve invested a very modest sum in gold through their offering DigiGold. From the web page:

“We’ve traded precious metals for 1,100 years. Now you can do it in seconds. Buy, sell and spread your risk, all at the click of a button with our DigiGold account.

DigiGold is the simplest way to invest in precious metals. Accumulate gold, silver and platinum in fractional quantities, execute real-time trades from your computer or smartphone, and benefit from economies of scale inherent in partial ownership of larger bars. And with your holding stored safely in The Vault® , there’s no need to worry about security.”

You can check the value of your investment at any time. The website is excellent, very informative and user-friendly. The Music Legends Collection consists of coins commemorating John Lennon, Freddie Mercury, Iron Maiden and… er… The Spice Girls. Anne Jessop has been the CEO of the Royal Mint since 2018.

English Literature Graduate Femsplainers

Femgoggles has responded to our piece The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months with this:

“Great story. You start with how feminism, in its modern form, crawled out of English Literature departments. Certainly true of media feminists writing for papers such as the Guardian, Independent or the BBC. There is an incomplete list of them given in this blog. You have to scroll down to find it. It is clear we have a cognitive diversity problem of serious proportions. Perhaps one for the new BBC director general to get to grips with.”

It turns out femgoggles is behind the interesting blog Toxic Feminism, which has been around since 2018. The first paragraph of the “About us” page:

“This UK-centred blog will take a sceptical approach to feminism by challenging the selective vision, or confirmation bias, of some feminists who choose to view the world through victim-tinted lenses. In particular, the selective world view held by some ultra-privileged media feminists that enables them to promote their victim status over all men, whatever their background and station.”

With their comments femgoggles posted a link to a piece on the blog, Lit Crit Femsplainers. I also note the piece about the pathetic woman begind the Everyday Whining Project, Laura Bates and the axis of radicalisation.
