“A woman has been found guilty of keeping another woman with learning difficulties captive for 25 years and using her as a slave.

Mother-of-10 Mandy Wixon made the vulnerable woman clean her squalid and overcrowded home in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire, and forced her to live off scraps.

Washing-up liquid would be squirted down the victim’s throat, bleach splashed on her face, and she had her head repeatedly shaved against her will…

Now in her 40s, K was found by police on 15 March 2021 after one of Wixon’s sons raised concerns for her welfare.

The court heard K was regularly beaten and also hit with a broom handle, knocking out her teeth…

Wixon was released on conditional bail and will be sentenced on 12 March.

As she left court she was asked what she had to say to her victim and replied: “Not a lot.”

Asked if she was sorry, she said: “No. I never done it.”

Reporters asked if she was a “monster”, as she stopped to light a cigarette, and she replied: “Say what you think.”

Our thanks to Andy for this. An extract:

“In mitigation, Neil Sands [J4MB: Presumably her defence lawyer.] asked why a woman of “adult years” had succumbed to an inmate.

“It is clear in this case there was an infatuation,” he said, adding her previous relationships had left her “extremely vulnerable”.”

Our thanks to Jeff for this. Extracts:

“A former prison officer has been jailed for having romantic relationships with two inmates and plotting to smuggle drug-soaked envelopes into prison.

Isabelle Dale swore her “undying love” to prisoners Shahid Sharif and Connor Money while working at HMP Coldingley in Surrey, said a judge.

The 23-year-old had sex with convicted robber Sharif in the prison’s chapel area, her trial heard…

Sentencing the three on Tuesday at Southwark Crown Court, Judge Christopher Hehir called Dale a “thoroughly devious and untruthful and manipulative young woman”.

He said he accepted she had “some vulnerabilities”, but she had tried to use them as a “shield and an excuse” for her actions.

The judge added that he suspected she had “joined the prison service with a view to becoming involved in criminal activities with prisoners”.

“She wanted to do it,” he said. “She’s attention seeking.”… [J4MB: At last, a judge with common sense. He probably won’t be allowed to judge similar cases in future.]

Dale – who was found to have Sharif’s street name tattooed on her neck – resigned as a prison officer before she was arrested on her sixth visit.

The court heard Dale also conveyed sensitive information to Money, with whom she also had an intimate relationship.”

Today’s video is here (8:58).

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

I’ve greatly enjoyed this video (1:04:50), a discussion with Janice Fiamengo on top form (her only form?) and the British psychologist and psychotherapist Laura How. Laura’s YouTube channel is here, her online therapy website here. Two other therapists are available to book through that website, one being Zac Fine, who provided a video for ICMI20, Living With The Trauma of Losing Child Access (50:34).

“Carl, thanks for this, much of it covering what we’ve said about abortion since we launched as a political party in 2013. Disappointing that you reference feminism only in terms of reducing the social stigma of abortion, rather than being THE key driver of the problem of abortion since the 1967 Abortion Act. Your solution to the abortion problem – to appeal to women’s sense of partiotism in order not to have abortions, thereby reducing the need for mass immigration – is simply woeful. Sorry, but it is. Do you imagine any women will do as you ask?

I am currently engaged in creating a new edition of Buchanan’s Dictionary of Quotations, following the international success of Buchanan’s Dictionary of Quotations for Right-Minded People (2010). Long out of print, and never made available as an ebook, used copies appear occasionally on Amazon and elsewhere, retailing at £100.00+.

One of the quotations in my next book will be from Samuel Butler (1835-1902), the English novelist and critic:

“Home Sweet Home must have been written by a bachelor.”

Home! Sweet Home! is a song adapted from American actor and dramatist John Howard Payne‘s 1823 opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan.

Payne never married. The song’s lyrics:

Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there
Which seek thro’ the world, is ne’er met elsewhere
Home! Home!
Sweet, sweet home!
There’s no place like home
There’s no place like home!

An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain
Oh give me my lowly thatched cottage again
The birds singing gaily that came at my call
And gave me the peace of mind dearer than all
Home, home, sweet, sweet home
There’s no place like home, there’s no place like home!
