Laura Kuenssberg: Reform candidates’ offensive remarks about women seen by BBC

Interesting. The BBC clearly doesn’t have the resources to track down the countless offensive remarks about men made by candidates for the Tories, Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, Greens, Plaid Cymru…

My personal favourites in the BBC’s hatchet piece:

“John Edwards, the candidate for Southampton Test, referred to women appearing on ITV2’s Love Island as “thick tarts” and the former leader of the Liberal Democrats Jo Swinson as a “gobby bird”.”

“Sam Woods-Brass, the candidate for Houghton and Sunderland South, shared a photo of a raw chicken and said it reminded him of an erotic image of his girlfriend.”

“Ian Gribbin, the candidate for Bexhill and Battle… posted a series of comments on the UnHerd website which included saying: “Right now all men pay for all women: we pay 80% of tax and you take out 80%. The fact you’re able to write on a technological device is all down to us.

“The cultural feminisation of the west is a disaster of epic proportions. We have elevated female characteristics – especially neuroticism, to the highest levels. Hysteria is now common place. The evidence from repeated psychologically testing is that women are appalling at taking criticism.

“Modern feminism belongs in the sewer of self hate from which it came: you say it yourself, you’re all jealous of the perceived freedoms of men.””

Three of Mike Buchanan’s books available for only £4.99 (inc. p&p) – limited period

I’m moving house shortly and taking this opportunity to offer a number of my books (in ‘new’ condition) for sale at just £4.99 (inc p&p). I would ask you to make a donation of £4.99 (per book) to my company, MRAI Ltd., here. Your purchases will help support our work. Please email me (mike@j4mb.org.uk) to let me know which title(s) you’d like, and your mailing address (UK only). Thanks.

The books are:

The Marriage Delusion: the fraud of the rings? (2009). After publication I signed and numbered copies from the limited first edition (hardback, 500 copies), and set copies aside for sales in later years. Only a few copies remain.

I shall sign copies of the other titles, unless you request otherwise:

The Fraud of the Rings (2009) – paperback edition of the above.

Feminism: The Ugly Truth (2016)

If you check out my books on Amazon and other online booksellers, you’ll note almost all the 4- and 5-star ratings come from people who’ve purchased the book, while the 1-star reviews come from people who haven’t.

MATT GOODWIN: How Many Seats Will NIGEL FARAGE and REFORM Win?

Interesting (video, 9:32). I’m more optimistic than Matt Goodwin. I predict Reform UK will have 10+ MPs, including Nigel Farage, on 5 July.
