The Guardian: Police and CPS had key DNA evidence 16 years before Andrew Malkinson cleared of rape

Senior heads must roll at the Police and CPS over this case. How many more innocent men are still in British prisons? Certainly hundreds, possibly thousands. How many more prisonsfor men  would have to be built if feminist demands for juryless rape trials became a reality? The mind boggles.

Laura Bates: “Northampton business sweeps big awards at International Cheese Awards 2023”

A piece by Laura Bates in the Northampton Chronicle & Echo, surely the only non-whiny article Special Snowflake has ever written. Remaining with the cheese theme, in 2015 we published a blog post, Laura Bates’s fiance should say this to her.

‘Cliteracy’: The ‘iceberg’ of female anatomy has as-yet hidden depths

A piece published yesterday by The Irish Times. An extract:
It is a part of the female body that has traditionally got short shrift in the study of anatomy. The so-called “father of anatomy”, Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) called it “a new and useless part” after two of his students “found” it. In the first half of the 19th century, German anatomist Georg Ludwig Kobelt did provide accurate detailed descriptions of the organ and surrounding structures. Later in the 1800s and into the 20th century, surgical removal of the clitoris was promoted, with the backing of the British Medical Journal, as a treatment for so-called emotional disorders in women. [J4MB – “so-called”?

Protest at New Scotland Yard on Falsely Accused Day, 9 September

My thanks to Sean Bw Parker for alerting me to Saturday, 9 September, being Falsely Accused Day. The related website is here. The contents of the “About” page:
Falsely Accused Day has been put together by a number of individuals and support organisations in the UK who have joined to raise awareness of the scourge of False Accusations. The 9th of September was chosen to honor Simon Warr on, what would have been, his birthday. Simon was himself falsely accused of historical child abuse, and sadly passed away at the beginning of 2020. Simon’s experience was not unique and many thousands of people in the UK every year find themselves thrown into an alternate reality where they are required to prove historic allegations are false or risk facing being charged and the very real possibility of conviction for a crime they did not commit. It is our intention to raise public awareness about the failing justice system in the United Kingdom which is not only allowing, but encouraging false accusations.
I’ll be joining those meeting outside New Scotland Yard, London, at 2 p.m. that day. I invite you to join us.
