‘Infatuated’ female guard who had affair with inmate at Britain’s ‘cushiest’ prison: Officer, 34, is spared jail after becoming 18th guard to have illicit relations with criminal at HMP Berwyn
Our thanks to a follower for this. Female prison guards are a liability in men’s prisons.

Law Commission summary consultation on evidence in sexual offences prosecutions – Ministry of Justice – Citizen Space
I am wont to describe juryless rape trials as “madness”, with which Wiliam Collins disagrees, with good reason. He accurately describes them as simply one manifestation of tyrannical radical feminist strategies.
Our thanks to Douglas for this. I’ve only scan-read it, but this section (pp.52/3) could have been written by Julie Bindel:

Juryless trials In England and Wales, juries are used in serious criminal cases. The jury gives the verdict and decides the facts, while the judge determines any legal questions and will sentence the defendant if they are convicted. Jury trials can contribute to defendants having a fair trial under the ECHR, but they are not required, and a trial can be fair without a jury. There are already contexts where defendants don’t face juries in England and Wales. These include less serious offences tried in the magistrates’ court, when a defendant pleads guilty, offences tried in the Youth Court, and cases where there is a danger of jury tampering. Some academics and stakeholders [J4MB: feminists, one and all] have suggested that juries are not the best way of reaching a verdict in sexual offences cases. Studies with mock jurors have found that levels of “rape myth acceptance” among jurors affect their verdicts. [J4MB: Absolute BS. William Collins’s piece on the matter here.] This means that jurors will be more or less likely to convict based on pre-existing ideas about sexual offences, rather than their decision being based on the evidence in the case. This reduces the chance of a fair trial. Further, it might be especially traumatising for complainants [J4MB: Women who might well be liars] to have to give evidence in front of 12 laypeople, and advocates might be encouraged to play to the jury or support stereotypes. To deal with this, juries could be removed for sexual offences cases. Instead, a judge, a panel of judges, or a judge with some lay assessors (non-judges) could hear cases. They would give reasons for their verdicts, which would give clarity to all participants. Rather than having to train new juries on myths and misconceptions for every trial, training [J4MB: “Training” by radical feminists] could be targeted at the judges (and lay assessors). [J4MB: a job creation scheme for otherwise unemployable feminists.]

Applicants seeking to join RAF described by a squadron leader as ‘useless white male pilots’ in bid to hit ‘impossible’ diversity targets
I can’t recall the last time so many followers of this blog posted the same story to us in so short a time (Jim, Nigel, and Steve come to mind, my thanks to all of them), this on Sky News.
“Useless white male pilots”, eh? Like the ones who fought in the Battle of Britain, mostly young men who died in huge numbers, and saved this country from invasion? Life’s tough enough without having to speak German all day, every day.

A £5,000 payout is a second slap in the face for these white male applicants discriminated against for their race and/or sex. Should have been £500,000. The RAF disclosures from this lawsuit is hard evidence that many BAME and female pilots have been diversity hires.There should be no racial or gender diversity programmes, but to have them in the military, sanctioned at the very top – and by politicians, too – is nothing short of treasonous.

Bedford Today: McDonald’s launches 2 new limited edition dips
I’ve lived in my home town of Bedford for 25+ years. It’s a pleasant market town which I often refer to as a ‘throbbing metropolis’, which nobody else ever has. But that’s not to say exciting things don’t happen here from time to time. Sophie Wills, one of the fearless reporters at Bedford Today, has been hot on the trail of one exciting story.
One of my first books, Guitar Gods in Beds. (Bedfordshire: A Heavenly County) (2009) was well received in the area. It consisted of the biographies of eight local guitarists who were well-known in Bedford’s pub live music scene. One of them, Thunderin’ Paul Carrington, a friend and chauffeur, was the unintended star of my travelogue Two Men in a Car: A Businessman, a Chauffeur, and Their Holidays in France (2011). Sadly, a sufferer with emphysema, he was one of the first people in the country to die after contracting COVID-19.
I may yet revive my original idea of making a series of ‘in Beds.’ books. Obvious titles include Doctors and Nurses in Beds. and Priests and Nuns in Beds. To my surprise, the local Roman Catholic bishop refused to put forward suitable priests and nuns for interview.
