BBC TV’s ‘The Big Questions’ (2015): Mike Buchanan in a debate about sexual consent. Video #85 of 800+ videos on the J4MB YouTube channel.

Today’s video is here (19:54).

Over a period of more than two years we’re posting links to one video daily from the J4MB YouTube channel. The channel includes our media appearances since 2012, 300+ videos of talks and other materials from the International Conferences on Men’s Issues (2014 – ) and other men’s issues conferences we’ve been involved with, and so much more. The individual conference playlists are here.

Our website Campaign for Merit in Business was created in the light of the considerable evidence of a causal link between increasing gender diversity on boards and corporate financial decline. Mike Buchanan, Steve Moxon and Dr Catherine Hakim (the originator of Preference Theory) presented evidence to House of Commons and House of Lords inquiries in 2012, the video of their House of Commons evidence session is here (56:50).

Finally, we run the award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. The related comedy channel (170+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

Housing benefits worker Joella Preston, 44, set up false accounts to claim almost £500,000. Suspended sentence because vagina.

Our thanks to Graham for this. Extracts take up the remainder of this blog piece:

“A council worker in charge of housing benefit payments, including fraud detection, [J4MB emphasis] swindled her employer out of almost half a million pounds. Joella Preston fraudulently received £493,487 by setting up fake claims in the names of people she knew, such as neighbours and friends, over a nine-year period…

She had gambled as much as £776,938 and recouped £355,709 in winnings. Preston was told by a judge that a community-based punishment was “by far the best way” to prevent any risk of reoffending… [J4MB emphasis.]

Her role not only required her to set up and manage housing benefit claims but also to be alert to fraudulent applications, comply with relevant policies in relation to any suspect claims and to liaise with fraud officers. The court heard that between September 2014 and July 2023, Preston created a total of 15 false claims of her own, and used her knowledge of the system to cover her tracks…

Her lawyer, Christopher Johnston, told the court that the defendant may have “fallen prey” to her addiction after being left “with a residual feeling that something was missing in her life” as a result of being estranged from her mother and unable to conceive. [J4MB: Fair enough. She really shouldn’t have been prosecuted…]

A large number of character references written for the sentencing hearing on Monday also spoke of her “compassion, integrity and honesty“… [J4MB emphasis: You couldn’t make this s*** up…]

Kae Burnell-Chambers, 44, tried to sue NHS for £3m over ‘botched’ op, jailed for only six months after she was caught ‘strutting’ at festival.

Interesting. The start of the article takes up the remainder of this blog piece:

“A MODEL who tried to sue the NHS for £3million after claiming doctors left her struggling to walk has been jailed after she was caught “strutting” at a festival.

Kae Burnell-Chambers, 44, claimed a blunder led to nerve damage that left her struggling to walk, get out of a car or even dress herself.

But footage revealed the artist and model had taken part in a fantasy festival in 2019 where she was filmed posing and strutting while dressed as a warrior.

The clip was taken just months before Burnell-Chambers launched her £3million pound damages bid against the NHS.

She claimed there was a delayed diagnosis of her cauda equina syndrome – a condition involving damage to nerves at the end of the spinal cord.

While Burnell-Chambers did have the disease, she later admitted exaggerating her symptoms after the social media videos emerged.

She has now been jailed for six months for contempt of court after the footage was shown at the High Court in London.

Burnell-Chambers was also fined £135,000 after a judge said she told “lies” to “grossly inflate” her damages claim.”

Charlotte Blackwell, 31, scammed children’s cancer charity then faked her own wedding for financial gain and failed to turn up for many of her community service orders. Suspended sentences because vagina.

Our thanks to Jeff for this. An extract:

“Judge Eugene Egan told her: “Please don’t come back again Ms Blackwell. No one wants to see you fail on this order – least of all you.

“The ball is in your court. Please make sure you complete this order, you are fully capable of doing it, I have no doubt.

“I hope we don’t see you back – I mean that in the nicest possible way.” [J4MB emphasis. It’s clearly important to be nice to serial convicted criminals – if they’re women, anyway.]
