Chris Stapleton

Three years ago I had the pleasure and privilege of staying with Paul Elam and his beautiful partner at their home in Roanoke, Virginia, during the first XY Crew Jamboree. We wrecked our lungs with many Cohiba Red Dot cigars (video, 3:02) and he introduced me to Chris Stapleton, a country / bluegrass star I hadn’t previously been aware of.

Stapleton’s most well-known song is probably Tennessee Whiskey (video, 4:53), I think you’ll also enjoy You Were Always On My Mind (video, 3:48) with Willie Nelson.

Maureen Rickards, 50, murdered her husband, 65, sentenced to life

Interesting. Extracts take up the remainder of this blog post:

A woman who killed her husband and hid his body in their garden has been jailed for life.

Maureen Rickards, 50, stabbed to death Jeremy Rickards, whom she was married to for 27 years…

Rickards was given a life sentence at Canterbury Crown Court on Wednesday and will serve a minimum of 22 years in jail…

Det Insp Colin McKeen from Kent Police said: “She has never expressed any remorse for what she did and has repeatedly sought to frustrate the investigation and push blame onto others, including the victim himself.”

CPS prosecutor James Fisher said Mr Rickards had been the victim of an “abusive relationship”, with “a pattern of historic abuse”.

“He was a regular drinker in a local pub and they noted he would regularly appear with marks on his face,” he said.

Philip Blunden, area lead on domestic abuse for the CPS, said it was a “misconception” that male victims were rare.

“One in three victims are male, but it is relatively rare to find female perpetrators, less than 10% of our prosecutions involve female perpetrators,” he said.

“Domestic abuse is generally under reported, but there is a particular under-reporting of male victims of domestic abuse.”

Police force blocks white applicants to boost diversity

Our thanks to Nigel for this (Telegraph, £). He writes:

“And up pops this on my home page West Yorkshire Police blocks white applicants to boost diversity Locally a white young man won a case against Cheshire Police for just such a process White heterosexual male rejected by Cheshire Police given role – BBC News in that case the man the remedy was to accept him. Such cases rely on men knowing their rights, because they are civil cases. So unless men challenge such as West Yorkshire Police they will continue to act illegally in pursuit of political “targets” on numbers.”

From GB News in February, ‘Utter TRIPE!’ West Yorkshire Police diversity spending ‘has to stop’, ex-detective rages as eye-watering cost of woke initiatives revealed.
