New study reveals impact of induced abortion on mental health

/ Mike Buchanan / 1 Comment

Our thanks to Douglas for this.

In our election manifestos we covered the issue of abortion and the claimed mentally protective value of the procedure. 98%+ of elective abortions in the UK since the Abortion Act 1967 have been on the grounds of protecting the mental health of the women involved. It was always a lie as well as being a money maker for medics prepared to kill the unborn for money. Details on pp.23-7 of our last manifesto.

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASDs), the leading avoidable cause of intellectual disability in the Western world, is covered on pp.28-30.

Today’s video is here (6:05). The start of the video description:

“Eddie Mair presented a piece on the BBC Radio 4 news addressing the question, ‘How should the cosmetic surgery industry be regulated?’ His first interviewee was the president of the British Association of Plastic Surgeons (‘BAPS’, appropriately) and the second was Laura Bates of The Everyday Whining Project.”

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 comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

Fury as HS2 boasts spending tens of millions on diversity

/ Mike Buchanan / 1 Comment

Our thanks to Graham for this. He writes:

“I thought you might be interested in the attached article from the Daily Express regarding HS2’s diversity-related spending.

A few extracts that stood out:

Joanna Davinson, the HS2 board member [J4MB: she’s a non-executive director] responsible for diversity, wrote that EDI “shapes how we think, lead and build the railway.” [J4MB: Maybe that helps explain why it’s a financial disaster.]

In the last financial year, £61 million was spent on diverse-owned suppliers – an increase of more than a third from the £44 million last year. This mainly involved businesses owned or majority-controlled by women and ethnic minorities.

The report states: “We define minority-owned businesses as those where women, ethnic minorities, LGBT or disabled people make up more than 50% of the partners or directors in day-to-day control of the business, or where a sole proprietor is from one of these groups.” [J4MB: I spend almost all my career in procurement. These businesses are landing contracts where otherwise they wouldn’t have, probably because their prices are uncompetitive.]

A spokesman for HS2 Ltd said: “We take our statutory commitments under the Equality Act seriously and set high standards for the thousands of businesses actively engaged in our supply chain. Through fair and inclusive recruitment practices, we are proud to have built a 33,000-strong workforce where female and ethnic minority representation exceeds industry averages.”

I’m curious about what statutory commitments under the Equality Act the HS2 spokesperson is referring to. The Act doesn’t mandate positive discrimination, so it’s unclear how their approach aligns with the legal framework set out in the Equality Act 2010.”
