Our thanks to Warren for this. Extracts from the BBC piece:
“The chairwoman of a prison watchdog board had inappropriate relationships with inmates and smuggled drugs into jail while comparing herself to Deliveroo, a court has heard.
Helen Spree, 63, led the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Liverpool, a body intended to scrutinise prisoners’ conditions.
Spree, said to have had a “successful career” as a sales director for a global firm, engaged in intimate conversations and sent explicit videos to three serious criminals, including a man who shot a teenager dead in 2017.
She pleaded guilty at Liverpool Crown Court to misconduct in a public office, conspiracy to supply cannabis and conspiracy to convey prohibited items into prison…
Arthur Gibson, mitigating, said Spree’s career achievements were “a veneer which was hiding a personal life of abuse and trauma”.
He said: “By 2017, she had become seriously damaged mentally by her dealings with men and towards them had very low self-esteem.” [J4MB emphasis: Woman commits crimes, men responsible. Same old, same old.]
“When it came to being flattered and treated as a confidante, she was easily susceptible to making what were seriously wrong judgments.
“Much of what she said in messages was bravado in order to attract more flattery and praise.
“This was not criminality borne out of financial inducement. It was borne out of a situation she found herself [in].””
Warren writes:
“In mitigation, we are told that she was ‘easily flattered into making seriously wrong judgements.’
Quite. She’s Chairwoman of the Independent Monitoring Board. She’s 63 years old. Yet has two pillow cases at home, embossed with the picture of a killer, with whom she behaves inappropriately..
Why do we keep giving responsibility to overgrown children who cannot tell right from wrong?”

Today’s video is here (12:28).
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 (160+ videos) is here. Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.

We’re posting videos every day from the Comedy Channel of our award-winning website Laughing at Feminists. Today’s video is here (3:27).
Remember, it’s more than important to laugh at feminists, it’s a civic duty.
I haven’t drunk alcohol since September, 2025. If you’re a man with a drinking problem and would like to become abstinent, you should check out my initiative Men Stop Drinking.
There are many routes from problem drinking to sobriety. The fastest and most effective option – the option I used myself – is disulfiram (Antabuse), a drug licensed by the FDA in 1951 (75 years ago). Paul Elam and I recently co-wrote a short book, ANTABUSE: The one-stage program for alcohol abstinence.
I host Zoom video meetings daily (Monday – Saturday) for men with drinking problems. The meetings start at 7:00pm (19:00) GMT/UTC and last at least an hour. Details of the philosophy behind the meetings, and guidelines for them, can be found here. You can join the meetings by clicking here.
The meeting time has been chosen to give convenient access to men living in the UK and other European countries, and as far west as the Pacific coast of the United States.
Farcical. An extract:
“After organisers said they would fine Vallejo on Friday, the world number 71 apologised on social media.
“I have respect for the umpires and for the job they do, after a five-hour battle I was very heated and felt a lot of emotions, I apologise,” Vallejo posted on Instagram.”
