Enjoy. I’m just back from a week in hospital, recovering from a severe case of cellulitis, advised to take a week’s rest before resuming work. The office will open Monday 9:00 am.

Our thanks to Emma for this. A nonsensical extract from a section highlighted in blue, “Male domestic abuse on the sise”, a little before halfway down:

“The Office for National Statistics figures show every year that one in the three victims of domestic abuse are male, equating to 699,000 men in 21/22 (1.671m women). [J4MB: The direct result of men being disinclined to report domestic abuse. This case is a case in point.]

One in six-seven men and one in four women will be a victim of domestic abuse in their lifetime. [J4MB: The direct result of men being disinclined to report domestic abuse.]

Of domestic abuse crimes recorded by the police, 25 per cent were committed against men. [J4MB: You can safely replace “committed against” with “reported by”.]

Only 4.7 per cent of victims of domestic abuse being supporting by local domestic services are men according to SafeLives data. [J4MB: All the photos and images of victims on SafeLives’s home page are of women. It rather makes a mockery of their claim to be gender-neutral, featuring only the sex which is more likely to report abuse.]”

Our thanks to Gerry for this. The start of the piece:

A senior executive has won almost £100,000 after she complained that the female CEO of a women-friendly dating app had reduced staff to tears with her bullying behaviour.

Rhonda Alexander was the boss of Fluttr, a British app that when it launched boasted it would beat ‘Tinder Swindler’-style romance fraud and create a ‘safe space’ for single women.

The Cambridge University educated New Yorker declares herself a ‘fierce champion for female leaders and entrepreneurs’ who believes that ‘female acknowledgement is a fundamental building block to enabling all women to be seen, heard, and respected’.

However, an employment tribunal heard that behind the scenes at the company her ‘downright rude’ and ‘damaging’ behaviour to staff had led to a series of complaints.

One victim was Laura Cameron Peck, the CEO of a sister start-up to Fluttr who reported Ms Alexander to bosses, accusing her of being ‘passive aggressive’, ‘manipulative’ and of eroding the confidence of colleagues by ‘throwing eggs’ at their suggestions.

But the tribunal heard that rather than address her concerns, senior executives turned on Ms Cameron Peck, forcing her out of her £120,000 a year job just three months after she started.

Now she has been awarded £97,361 in compensation for the way she was treated after blowing the whistle.

An inspiring story. Well, her adorable sister Kate can’t get all the attention, can she?

Three more convicted women given suspended sentences because vagina. An extract:

Giving his verdict, Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram said: ‘Seven days before the protest, Hamas went into Israel with what was described by the media as paragliders. A reasonable person would have seen and read that.

‘I do not find a reasonable person would interpret the image merely as a symbol of freedom. I want to be clear, there’s no evidence that any of these defendants are supporters of Hamas, or were seeking to show support for them.’

Handing the trio a 12-month conditional discharge, Mr Ikram said he had ‘decided not to punish’ the defendants.

‘Each of you stands convicted of a terrorist offence,’ he continued. ‘There is nothing to suggest the police of their own volition were going to take any action.

‘You’ve not hidden the fact you were carrying these images. You crossed the line, but it would have been fair to say that emotions ran very high on this issue.

‘Your lesson has been well learnt. I do not find you were seeking to show any support for Hamas.’
