“A married mother-of-three who masqueraded as a qualified driving instructor has been convicted of fraud – despite helping almost 50 learners to pass their tests.

Joanne Sharples, 40, boasted of having a ‘passion for teaching’ and being ‘patient, calm and understanding’ with learners.

However she faced up to three years jail after being caught charging over £6,000 for driving lessons when she had not passed all the relevant tutoring exams herself.

But Sharples walked free with unpaid work after a court heard she was ‘frightened to leave the house’ after being exposed.” [J4MB emphasis]

Our thanks to Ken for this (Mail, £). The article writer is Tim Samuels, who many years ago hosted Men’s Hour on BBC radio. I posted a number of pieces on him and the programme. He refused to have any MRAs on his show, and was highly praised by Jenni Murray (Woman Sour host) in the Radio Times.

“Some of the appalling details here London woman Polly Murphy guilty of Clacton hotel room murder – BBC News. “After the jury delivered its verdict, Self’s mother, Ashe, said: ‘Like so many men, James was embarrassed by the control and violence being inflicted on him. Sadly, he would never come forward to seek help.'” This murder a culmination of many “incidents”.

It’s an easy thing to deny men justice by doing nothing to invite them to even approach authorities. Were there even a third of the effort put into helping women, it would make a difference. Yet the reality is it’s given practically zero effort and resources. Contrast that with all the help for women and the policy of not even punishing women and closing all women’s prisons! Making this case of a not suspended custodial sentence all the more rare. Imagine the unlikelihood of a father having his children’s feelings being considered.”

“This caught my attention following Pearl’s video. As an extreme example of one of the features of “femininity” glossed over. Yet it’s everywhere on public display. Really the unreality of the feminine “world”. The world in their heads. The Beauty Filters being just the latest example of the addiction to fantasy. Once of course the feminists blamed “the patriarchy” for the idealised fantasy images of women in fashion magazines, romantic fiction, TV, “Rom Coms” and so on. With the archetypal dungaree clad “political lesbian” feminist denouncing make-up and “skinny models”.

But now with all such industries being filled by women, making content for women and being consumed in all conceivable media, it’s pretty clear this is what women want and how they understand their world. A world of fantasy and perfection that is completely remote from reality. Of course this has a knock on with females – far greater levels of anxiety, depression, confusion and misery, because if you can’t deal with reality it’s bound to make your life difficult to cope with. And if you’re actually in charge of something… a recipe for disaster.”

Our thanks to Jeff for this. Extracts:

“Jewers has a previous conviction for failing to notify a change in circumstances affecting her entitlement to benefits in 2010, for which she was given a conditional discharge…

He [J4MB: her defence lawyer] added that she is paying back £100 a month [J4MB: At that rate she’ll be 129 when she’s finished paying back the sum she embezzled from taxpayers] and is “trying to better herself” and is “seeking promotion”. He said she has three dependent children and added: “She has expressed remorse and shame. She’s very frightened of what might happen today. She has children who have done nothing wrong.” [J4MB: Note the use of the children in order to evade accountability for her crimes. I’ll bet she was amazed to get a custodial sentence, even the absurdly lenient one she received. And doubtless she’ll spend well under 33 months in a place that will be a palace compared with men’s jails.]

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“And so it begins. Having made “toxic masculinity” a thing to be rooted out of schools we see it being used to get troublesome boys “cancelled”. Now I’m not surprised teenage boys present “challenges” and find ways to annoy teachers. I can recall exactly that in my secondary modern (boys) in the first half of the 70s. Student and supply teachers coming in for some “testing” as we sensed their nervousness. Of course the experienced teachers (of both sexes) knew exactly how to stamp their authority on their classroom and school. And no one was going to seriously challenge the Headmaster, despite his usual benign gaze over half moon glasses, because when he had to he soon put boys in their place.

Read this article and it does have a whiff of a “Principal” who isn’t respected in a school where discipline has broken down. And this reminds me of some of resistance by teachers to the idea of showing Adolescence in schools. Not because of its ideological content but because it depicts teachers as ineffectual and the school out of control! An aspect of the drama ignored by those calling it a “documentary” and basing a whole policy of demonising boys on a TV drama. The parents are probably right, the experienced teachers don’t report these boys being “toxic” but what it does show is the Principal’s failure to exercise authority, indicating a long term failure in her role. “Toxic masculinity” just becomes a buzzword excuse for a failure in authority.”

More nonsense from the blithering idiots at the WEF. An extract:

“Gender equality and organizational performance are not competing priorities, they reinforce each other. The most recent McKinsey’s Diversity Matters’ research shows that companies with more diverse executive teams are 39% more likely to financially outperform their peers.”

You are encouraged to believe that financial outperformance is the RESULT of ‘more diverse executive teams’ i.e. there’s a causal link, but a more likely explanation is that higher-performing companies are more able and willing to indulge in social engineering / DEI programmes such as ‘more diverse executive teams’.

I note that the latest McKinsey report claims improved organizational performance from racial diversity as well as from gender diversity. It surely reaps considerable income from clients for its work with them in these areas; greater gender diversity on boards will surely increase McKinsey’s income even more as the women appointed to boards will be less experienced than the best men available, needing more support from consultancies such as McKinsey.

McKinsey have been banging the drum for greater gender diversity on boards for over a decade, but every McKinsey report I’ve ever read has stated that it is reporting correlation, not causation, while simultaneously claiming the ‘need’ for more gender diversity. It’s normally buried so deeply within their lengthy reports that you could be forgiven for missing it. It’s got to the point I can’t be bothered to look for the statement in their latest report.
