Summer Marl-Brock, 20, ‘lured’ ex-boyfriend into trap then laughed and filmed as he was bitten and kicked

Our thanks to Graham for this, an example of female proxy violence. An extract:

“The ex-girlfriend had contacted her ex on the night of the attack to say she had been out drinking and was on her own. He agreed to come to her, because he was concerned and they arranged to meet half way at shops in Ewloe, Wales. Prosecutor Jemma Gordan said: “Unknown to Mr Edwards, Summer Marl-Brock was with David Brock and Aaron Evans. They were lying in wait.””

One wonders how many unsolved cases of male-on-male violence, up to and including murder, is carried out at the behest of women, sometimes partners in a bid to acquire property and other financial assets. Graham writes:

“I came across this case and thought it was worth flagging because it highlights a few uncomfortable but important points.

First, men are statistically far more likely to be victims of violent crime in the UK, yet the public narrative and policy focus rarely reflects that reality.

Second, the issue of responsibility. In this case, while the men carried out the assault, the woman appears to have played a leading role in instigating it. That raises a fundamental question: should those who organise or incite violence bear greater accountability than those who physically execute it?

The sentencing is also telling. The men received 7 and 6 years, while the woman received 54 months, with two-thirds to be served in prison. That’s 36 months (3 years) in custody. Despite being central to the incident, her sentence is notably lower.

More broadly, there’s a pattern that doesn’t get discussed enough: the role of indirect or psychological instigation in male-on-male violence. Situations where someone provokes or directs harm without carrying it out seem to attract less scrutiny, even though they can be the driving force behind the event.

If leadership implies responsibility, then it’s worth asking whether accountability is being applied consistently, both in how we view violence and how we sentence it.”

John Cleese comments on a BBC Newsnight interview of Douglas Murray

Interesting (video, 3:28). John Cleese comments on X:

“When the BBC interviews someone as well-informed and intelligent as Douglas Murray, they should find someone well-informed and intelligent to do it.

Not some clown like this.

He is very stupid.

But perhaps the BBC hadn’t noticed.”

MAURITIUS: The Affordable Tropical Paradise

I’ve published a number of international bestsellers for other authors through my modest imprint LPS publishing. They include William Collins’s The Empathy Gap: Male Disadvantages and the Mechanisms of Their Neglect (40 reviews, all 5-star) and Herbert Purdy’s Their Angry Creed: The shocking history of feminism, and how it is destroying our way of life (18 reviews, 78% of them 5-star or 4-star).

Mauritius is a small island and independent country in the Indian Ocean, of a similar area (790 square miles) and population (1.2 million) to Surrey. Almost everyone speaks English as a third language (after Mauritian Creole and French) and cars drive on the left. Last year I published a book for a friend, Charles (Nelson) Churchill, with the snappy title MAURITIUS: The Affordable Tropical Paradise (a practical A-Z guide for English speakers – retirees (50+) and others seeking a better quality of life).

Charles is permanently baffled at why there are not more British expats (like himself) on the island. He reports that people from many countries (including the UK and Ireland) over 50 can obtain a 10-year retirement residence permit, and property rental prices are maybe 25% of those in the UK. The weather is sublime year-round and groceries cost around 20% less than in the UK. New cars cost less than their equivalents in the UK despite a 100% sales tax on new cars. UK pensioners will see their state pensions increase every year in line with the increases in the UK. Inflation in Mauritius has been similar to that in the UK for many years.

Charles is happy to enter into an email exchange with anyone who might wish to consider emigrating to Mauritius, either for a defined number of years, or permanently. His email address is charlesnchurchill@proton.me.
