Rose Wylie, 91 – an even more woeful artist than Tracey Emin!

In my international bestseller Feminism: The Ugly Truth (2012) I titled one chapter, “Are some feminists (e.g. Tracey Emin) a pain in the Arts?” In 2011 Emin was appointed a ‘Professor of Drawing’ by the Royal Academy, her total inability to draw not having been deemed a handicap.

A piece (£) in today’s Times is about Rose Wylie, 91, who is shortly to become the first British woman painter to have a show in the Royal Academy’s first floor galleries. Comments from “J Pomeroy” are representative of the comments in general:

“It’s almost beyond belief what is considered ‘art’ these days, very reminiscent of the pictures my children had painted and brought home from primary school. From whence they lived on the fridge door until the next lot.”

Wylie’s Wiki page sensibly omits to show any of her pictures, but a couple of them are visible here. If I’d been asked to guess the age of the painter, I’d have hazarded a guess at four or five years of age. I recall visiting Tate Britain many years ago, one whole room was bedecked with pictures that were similarly dire (for an adult ‘artist’). I assumed the ‘artist’ had to be a woman and I wasn’t wrong. Tate Britain would never have given that amount of wall space to a similarly talentless man – or, indeed, any wall space.

Rose Wylie’s ‘art’ is so mind-numbingly woeful, she makes Tracey Emin look like Rembrandt by comparison.

Will Sherlock Holmes’ “Old England” disappear?

Our thanks to Paolo for this piece on an Italian website – to auto-translate, click on the “English” tab at the top right corner. An extract from near the end:

A little over a hundred years ago, Great Britain was the world’s sole superpower. Today, even its culture is disappearing. The nation that heroically resisted Napoleon and Hitler first allowed itself to be weakened and debilitated, morally and economically, by socialism, and then meekly accepted Islam’s conquest without putting up the slightest resistance. 

Can this trend be reversed? The process seems to have gone too far, and if we look at demographic and cultural trends, the answer is decidedly negative, because today Muslims in England are too numerous, strong, determined, and protected by the left, nestled within the institutions of the state. The probability that Great Britain, between 2050 and the end of the century, will become an Islamic theocracy governed by Sharia law is, in my opinion, extremely high—I’d say 80%.”

Mike Buchanan and Paul Elam: “ANTABUSE: The one-step programme for alcohol abstinence.”

I’ve now been abstinent from alcohol for almost six months, since I first started taking Antabuse (disulfiram). I haven’t wished to drink alcohol since that day.

Paul Elam and I have co-written a short book, ANTABUSE: The one-step program for alcohol abstinence. The Kindle edition is available to order from Amazon here, the paperback edition here.

We recently recorded a discussion about Antabuse and alcohol abstinence, here (video, 37:00).

Woman, 34: ‘My female partner, 37, is so irresponsible that it’s making me feel like their mum.’

Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“On a lighter note, his appeared on my page. I was expecting it to be yet another piece on how young men are useless so I was surprised in fact it is a woman complaining about her female “partner”. It is actually quite funny as the writer could well be a man writing about his girlfriend. “I’m the one who works, studies, saves for the future, and plans everything.” and “She’s 37 and still lives a ‘day-to-day’ life, staying at her brother’s place where she doesn’t have to lift a finger. She has zero savings and no real ambition to build a life with me that requires any effort. She just expects me to handle all the ‘grown-up’ stuff.” will sound familiar to many a man. While the clincher is “The woman also said her partner is leaving her emotionally exhausted too as she ‘dumps her insecurities on her’. “Stuff about being jealous for no reason, or crying because she feels I don’t love her enough,”” I think any man with a female wife/partner will absolutely relate to that! Much is said about the need for men to “share” their feelings and vulnerabilities. Which may be a good idea, but is never going to happen because he’ll get precious little chance to say anything, let alone actually be listened to!”
