Pearl Davis: Why Do “Trad” Influencers Dress Like 304s?

Interesting (video, 7:43). Not quite sure what a “304” is, but the estimable Pearl tends to refer to women who make money on OnlyFans as 304s.

Cara James, 37, mother, caught trying to smuggle £1,400 of Spice into prison inside her bra is spared jail after claiming her teenage daughter suffers from ‘separation anxiety’

What’s the point of prosecuting female criminals? Think of the time and money that could be saved across the criminal justice system if women were simply told they won’t face prosecution and possible punishment for committing crimes. It’s long been the reality that they won’t be punished adequately (if at all) when found guilty. The start of the piece:

A mother caught trying to smuggle £1,400 worth of the synthetic drug spice into prison for her boyfriend has been spared jail after claiming her teenage daughter suffers from ‘separation anxiety’.

Cara James, 37, faced up to 10 years behind bars after she was found carrying 14 sheets of A4 paper, laced with the so-called ‘Zombie drug’ inside her bra when she attended Hindley jail near Wigan, Greater Manchester.

The synthetic drugs, which have been blamed for a rise in deaths among male prisoners, [J4MB emphasis] were for James’ partner who was behind bars for assault. Each sheet of paper would have fetched £100 each on the prison black market.

At Bolton Crown Court she admitted attempting to bring a Category A prohibited item into prison and possession of a Class B drug.

Crowds ‘gathered to watch’ man drowning and ‘took selfies’ as he screamed for help after falling into freezing river

Misandry in action. Can anyone doubt a woman in the same situation would have been rescued by bystanders?

South Korean man attacks shop clerk he thought was a feminist

A piece on the BBC website. Extracts:

Police said he had attacked the woman because she had short hair, and so assumed she was a feminist.

“Since you have short hair, you must be a feminist. I’m a male chauvinist, and I think feminists deserve to be assaulted,” he told her, according to police comments reported by the Korea Herald newspaper…

Anti-feminist feeling has also increased in recent years – particularly among young men who feel they have been disadvantaged by reverse discrimination.
The last sentence would be correct if the words “feel they” were removed. —————————- If you’d like email notifications of our new blog pieces, please enter your email address in the box near the top of the right-hand column and click ‘Subscribe’.

Watch: Michael Crick versus GB News

A piece in The Spectator. I can thoroughly recommend Michael Crick’s biography of Nigel Farage, One Party After Another. On the cover is a wonderful photograph of Farage enjoying a cigar, I’ll be sending him a Romeo y Julieta “Short Churchill” cigar – 60+ minutes of smoking bliss – for Xmas.
