Michael Tracey: “Should we believe Virginia Giuffre? Prince Andrew’s accuser was not always reliable.”

An excellent piece just published by Unherd. Extracts:

“Furthermore, the Daily Mail, which first reported an encounter between Giuffre and Prince Andrew, paid Giuffre $160,000 for the story in 2011, plus serialisation revenue. The journalist who produced that story also wrote for The Daily Telegraph in Australia that Giuffre “said there was never any sexual relationship between the Prince and herself”.

“The unwavering credulity with which this book has been received by journalists, editors, publishers and politicians is a testament to how the most basic standards of information-gathering and knowledge-production can be summarily discarded in service of a narrative that people want to believe. For those of us who prefer to remain anchored in some semblance of sanity and reality: Virginia Roberts Giuffre was undoubtedly a disturbed individual, who may well have suffered grave misfortunes. But that her tales could be unquestioningly broadcast throughout the international media — and be allowed to stoke unrelenting political turmoil, even with talk of a constitutional crisis — is irresponsible in the extreme.”

Giuffere was a liar and a fantasist who became very rich from her lies and fantasies. I have seen no evidence to support her claim that she even met Prince Andrew. The media attacks on him should end and the millions of pounds she extorted from him returned.

Rachel from Accounts caught out. She should go, as Angela Rayner had to over property-related shenanigans. These female politicians make their male colleagues look like beacons of virtue.

UNITED STATES: Man goes to jail after grabbing and saving a woman about to cross the road and walk into the path of an oncoming car.

Our thanks to Alison Tieman for posting this (short video) on X. She writes:

So let me get this straight. This man is going to jail for saving a woman’s life because he ‘touched her without consent.’

The writing is on the wall gents. Women’s consent is more important than their lives.

Let them die.’

Remote working London GP Dr Jane Lim pretended she was working to get paid ‘while 100 patients waited for call’

Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract:

“Dr Lim refuted that her actions were dishonest though did accept she was unreliable in regards to submitting and invoicing accurate hours.

According to the tribunal’s report Alan Taylor, legal counsel for the General Medical Council, claimed otherwise. He told the hearing that Dr Lim had been “receiving taxpayers’ money from the NHS for work she knew she had not done”. He further stated that the dishonesty was of a repeated and sustained nature covering 57 shifts over 41 days in a 15-month period.

Mr Taylor also stated that Dr Lim demonstrated a pattern of persistent, dishonest conduct over a significant period of time and that her actions plainly fell significantly short of what would be expected of a registered medical practitioner. He submitted that each act of dishonesty on its own would amount to serious professional misconduct but when taken together clearly amounted to serious professional misconduct.”

There’s no indication that the woman will be prosecuted for embezzling the NHS (and by extension the taxpayer).

The Times of Israel: “U.S. Circumcision Lawsuit Advances as Doctors Behind Policy Backtrack.”

An excellent piece in a blog published by The Times of Israel, well worth reading in full. The short bio on the site of the writer, Rebecca Wald:

“Rebecca Wald, J.D. is the executive director of Bruchim, a nonprofit that supports non-circumcising Jewish families as they navigate the often complex terrain of Jewish institutional acceptance and the family dynamics surrounding their unusual choice. She is also the co-author of Celebrating Brit Shalom, a guide to alternative Jewish covenant ceremonies for families welcoming a new child. Rebecca graduated with honors in English from The George Washington University, and received her J.D. from Brooklyn Law School, where she served on the editorial board of the Brooklyn Law Review.”

I posted these comments:

“Rebecca, thank you for this very balanced piece, to which I’ll link now. The AAP’s 2012 policy statement was an utter scandal, explored in the film “American Circumcision”. To the best of my knowledge no other medical body in the world came to the same conclusion, and all that have reached a conclusion have been firmly against the circumcision of children other than on medical grounds.

We have campaigned against circumcision on non-medical grounds since 2013. In the UK carry out such circumcision is implicitly illegal under the Offences Against the Person Act 1861, being at least ABH and almost certainly GBH. I tried to take out a private prosecution of a Sikh doctor but wasn’t given leave to do so.
