Our thanks to Mandy for this. An extract:

“The jury was told she became pregnant by a second boy, Boy B, while she was on bail for allegedly having sex with Boy A.”

Sad news. An extract:

The vote was passed, with nearly 60% in favour. The Garrick has been contacted for comment.

The vote confirming the resolution required a 50% majority, although previous votes on the question of female membership had required a two-thirds majority. [J4MB emphasis]

Analysis of the club’s rules by senior judges concluded there was nothing in the Garrick’s constitution preventing women from being allowed to join, because the 1925 Law of Property Act advises that in legal documents the word “he” should also be read to mean “she”.

Appalling. Extracts:

“Holly LeGresley, 37, from Kidderminster, was a participant in a private online group that was paying people in Indonesia to kill and torture baby monkeys on video. They went undercover in the groups to expose the existence of the sadistic global network.

LeGresley, of Baldwin Road, pleaded guilty at Worcester Magistrates’ Court to charges of consuming, causing and facilitating the torture of baby monkeys over the internet. She admitted to uploading 22 images and 132 videos of monkeys being tortured to online chat groups.

The prosecution said LeGresley showed a desire to harm vulnerable creatures and that she also had a hatred towards pregnant women and children.

The 37-year-old was part of a group on the messaging app Telegram that brainstormed, crowdfunded and then commissioned videos of monkeys being tortured by people in Indonesia.

The group was used to share ideas for custom-made torture videos such as setting live monkeys on fire, injuring them with tools and even putting one in a blender…

Another woman, Adriana Orme, of The Beeches in Ryall, near Upton-upon Severn, also appeared at the magistrates’ court on Tuesday in connection with the network.

The 55-year-old chose not to enter a plea at this stage to charges of publishing an obscene article and for causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.”

Our thanks to Alan for this. He writes:

“What is interesting is that it includes some of the Museum’s best artworks, all by men of course, such as Picasso and that the only point seems to be to exclude men from viewing the best works and they are so determined to do this that they are willing to break the law to do so.

The artist claims that excluding men is to  “promote equal opportunity”. How does that work?

The childish level of sexist bigotry is revealed in that she says: “only on Sundays, men would be allowed into the space – to learn ironing and laundry folding.”

I must admit if the gallery was simply exhibiting derivative unoriginal and meritless works by feminist artists I would not think it worthwhile to sue but it’s excluding men from the most important works the Museum has. I wonder what the  proportion of funding for the Museum came from men?

I wonder what message is being sent by making the women’s only gallery a toilet?”
