South Midland Poly Classics and English graduate mistress-minding “A lot of debate about the exact technical mix…”
…Nature always did abhor a vacuum.
The anger isn’t about the sacrifices we are being asked to make, but that we are being asked to make them on the basis of feck-all except some vague notions of ‘saving the planet’ by virtue signalling arseholes who can’t think beyond their own childish ideology.
“Should young women really be working in men’s prisons?”
No.
I agree it’s foolish, for obvious reasons, and I don’t even know why women would want to work as prison guards in men’s prisons in the first place. But look at the disparity between male and female prisons and what this tells us;
There’s actually a category C ‘green’ men’s prison just opened next door to Full Sutton, so we can add one more to the above stats. But when we look at the stark contrast between the sex of prisoners and see who is actually serving time as a consequence of being unable to keep on the right side of the law, we see why there’s such a difference.
This is the part where certain people are triggered by facts because they have a problem accepting reality. 🧐 I guess being ”obsessed with safety” has its pluses!🤷♀️

Okay fair cop – millenia of evolving to fight off sabre-tooth tigers and HMRC has societal consequences.
But to turn the tiger on its head, 84,043 behind bars means of the order of 80,000,000 minus 84,043 not behind bars.
And of course some in very high places indeed, not behind bars, who should be behind bars (and some notorious cases vice-versa).
If there was ever one statistic which perfectly illustrates a ( because there are many to choose from, let’s be honest ) difference between the sexes it is the above. Because we have to remember that breaking the law, to the extent that you get banged up, comes down to *choice*, which includes bad decision-making. Now, what was that about females being less able to apply logic because they’re driven by emotions…?🤔 I’d say the obvious ( and massive ) disparity in who’s serving time for violent crime debunks this narrative nicely, because clearly the opposite is true.
British Summertime error on my part – for obvious reason, that 80,000,000 should be 40,000,000 (minus 84,043) = 39,915,957.
With all due respect, bit disingenuous to cast aspersions on majority 39,915,957 based on deficiencies of minority 84,043.
No aspersions on 40,000,000 minus 3,383 made or intended.
Except I’m not casting aspersions, thats your interpretation. I’m referring purely to the available data and broader evidence available. Violent crimes can be committed as a ‘spur of the moment’, spontaneous type job or premeditated. But I’m yet to see any reports or footage of gangs of girls running round with machetes, female lone attackers stabbing random strangers on the street or driving their vehicles into groups of pedestrians, women violently raping/sexually assaulting other females, women armed robbers, and I don’t know when the UK last had a female suicide bomber. The above link to the data bear this out. In fact, I don’t think there even is an exclusively category A women’s prison in the UK. They just have ‘open/closed conditions’. And forgive my assumption, but I’ve a sneaky suspicion the constant ‘over-crowding’ of prisons narrative we hear about is not referring to women’s prisons. It’s my assertion, based on available data, that men perpetrating any kind of violent crime can hardly be described as engaging the ‘logical’ part of their brain. On the contrary. They’re purely emotion-driven. As the many knife attacks reported and footage shared on social media demonstrates. It is, in fact, the women who are… Read more »
Although no risk-taker myself, am a bit wary of mindsets which prioritise safety above all else come what may.
Double-edged sword – look where prioritising (supposed) safety took us five years ago, look where prioritising (supposedly) Saving the Planet has been taking us for decades.
Humanity didn’t ascend to where it is now without taking calculated (and uncalculatable) risks.
This is why I’m not a fan of using broad strokes and generalisations to tar entire swathes ( or half the population of the planet, in this context ) of people with the same brush. But individuals do that on this site all the time. E.g, women are too much this and not enough that, as if the male and female population as a whole isn’t actually made up of individuals with personal characteristics unique to themselves. All I’m doing is debunking such nonsense that doesn’t stand up to scrutiny. The above data would look very different if *all* women were emotional wrecks, incapable of logical and rational thought, just like there’d be even more male prisoners if *all* men demonstrated zero respect for safety. And who cares about “on average”? We’re all individuals, but the usual suspects with an axe to grind because they have a warped view of the opposite sex don’t acknowledge this because the reality doesn’t support their narrative. Therefore they must deny the contradictory evidence at all costs and remain in a state of delusion. Small-minded denialists, what more can I say?
Not guilty, M’Lady! Seriously (and non-sexistly), I suspect we’re meeting in the middle, but from the usual two perspectives on either side.
I’d like to congratulate both Art Simtotic and Mogwai for a very reasoned exchange 💪👍😎
Thank you, MAk, much appreciated. If only reason could prevail more often, although apparently…
“All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling”
…Still after all these years sitting on the fence about that quote.
“More than 20 Metropolitan Police officers broke down the front door of a Quaker meeting house to arrest six women who had met to discuss climate change and Gaza.
It is thought to be the first time in the history of the famously pacifist Quakers that police have forced their way into one of their places of worship.
The women, aged between 18 and 38, were sitting in a circle eating hummus and bread sticks on Thursday evening as part of a “welcome meeting” for Youth Demand, which calls itself a non-violent protest group.”
Really. Who would have guessed the elites would do this and the senior police staff would authorise it.
If you are not already worried about your freedom start worrying now.

What is it about Dan Hannan and so many other Conservative party members. They cintinue to hope that Reform will take them over while they continue to ignore the evil their party delivered in the pat 14 years.

Zelensky may regret wishing for Putin’s death ‘after many years of hiding information about Putin’s health, the authorities made information about the president’s doctors publicly available.’ ‘The array of data on state contracts between the Central Clinical Hospital and hotels……allows us to draw important conclusions.’ ‘Oncologist-surgeon Evgeny Selivanov is one of the most frequent medical attendants of Putin. Over the course of four years, the doctor has flown to him 35 times and spent a total of 166 days with the head of state. Only otolaryngologists Igor Esakov and Alexey Shcheglov fly to Putin more often than the oncology surgeon — the latter has flown to him 59 times and stayed by his side for 282 days. Thyroid diseases, including cancer, are usually first diagnosed by an otolaryngologist, after which an oncologist and a surgeon get involved in the treatment’ ‘Putin has publicly demonstrated an interest in the problem of thyroid cancer. In July 2020, he met with the head of the National Medical Research Center for Endocrinology, Ivan Dedov — he is the boss of Putin’s eldest daughter Maria. Dedov told the President about the high prevalence of thyroid cancer and told about a new hormonal drug, Tirojin, which fights metastases after surgery’ ‘A 2015 studyTrusted Source evaluated survival rates for thyroid cancer by age. It found that the mortality rate progressively increases the older someone is.’ ‘Our study shows that mortality increased with older age, with patients over… Read more »
Revolutions always end up with someone worse than the despot you were trying to oust.
Not always. Our own revolution ended with Charles II, one of our most popular monarchs.
What business is it of anybody’s publicizing supposedly intimate details of Putin’s health?
You reference a Spectator article, which only ridicules the multitude of past claims that Putin was suffering from this or that. Yes, the man is 72 and can, as all men of that age, expire at any moment. On the other hand, as the Spectator article reveals, his father lived to become 88 and his grandfather 86, so Putin is at least blessed with good genes.
Your quoted statements were not part of the Spectator article so who are you quoting? Was the source your ‘Wartranslated’ Estonian blogger, perhaps?
Putin continues to impress with his long and detailed speeches. His annual press conferences last 4 to 5 hours: which Western politician comes anywhere close to that? His most recent speech was a mere 35 minutes in front of a packed audience in Murmansk, full of positive statements and encouragements to develop and invest in the north of Russia. The short speeches of Western politicians, on the other hand, tend to discourage and depress.
‘When Putin does speeches, he almost mechanically reads from a piece of paper. It looks and sounds very boring and very Soviet.
It is clear that Putin is reading from a text. However, the text is being scrolled directly over the camera lens so that Putin can read and look at the audience at the same time. He thus maintains eye contact.
His speech is rather simplistic, more sophisticated listeners find it nauseating. He is not, in Western sense, an orator – what comes out of his mouth won’t pass for an oration in a good high school. Even those you’d think would be his target audience can find it fake.
Towards the end of the speech, Vladmiri Putin is ranting, descending into outright propaganda.
he tips his hand on his true intentions. He refers to the territories adjacent to Russia as “our historical land”. If you know the history of the area, you know that this means more than Ukraine. It includes Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova and more. Although NATO’s expansion concerns Putin, I believe that his dream of restoring the territorial integrity of the former Soviet Union is at least as important for him.’
Where do you get such utter nonsense? You have clearly never listened to any of his speeches. And it was Biden who used teleprompters, when he could even remember where he was and what he was supposed to be doing. And your recurrent claim that Putin wants to reconquer old territories is clearly negated by the simple fact that those territories are not under any threat whatsoever, in sharp contradistinction to your statement “Although NATO’s expansion concerns Putin” – what could be clearer as to who is threatening whom?
‘Even by the standards of these events, it was a dull four hours, as if Putin was turning the tables on the rest of us. Eggs took an unexpected central stage, with a text about the price of eggs in Dagestan popping up early on the screen behind Putin, that showed a running series of messages sent in by viewers, and later a grandmother raising their price overall.
Of course, this is an important topic for people struggling with a cost-of-living crisis that, depending on region, often makes Britain’s look benign.
Putin responded in characteristic way, combining a barrage of statistics with some smutty testicular innuendo, saying he had asked the minister of agriculture ‘how his eggs were doing.’
Yet quips apart (and they were few and far between this time round), Putin showed striking little empathy – real or manufactured – for the people who begged for his intervention and understanding.
Although there are already moves to try and buy off certain sectors before the March elections – and an 18 per cent increase in the minimum wage from January – there is little sense that Putin will really be playing the benevolent father of the nation.’

Just look at who the author of the article is, the consultancy he heads and the books he has written: a true Putin hater.
Russia is under military attack from us, USA and the EU, all desperate (the USA recently not so much) to defeat Putin or, as you put it, to weaken Russia. For what reason? In the meantime, Western weapons are turning up all over Africa and in South America, channelled there by corrupt Ukrainians obviously less interested in saving Ukraine as filling their pockets.
And Donald Trump is threatening to “annex” Greenland, by military force if necessary. Will NATO in the name of Denmark implement its Article 5 protection against USA? The world is becoming crazier by the minute.
‘The AK-47 is the most widespread firearm in the world. Carried by American enemies since 1947, it is the standard infantry weapon for 106 countries. There are an estimated 100 million AK-47s of a number of variations round the world
The worldwide availability and durability of the AK-47 also makes it an attractive weapon for terrorists, militias and other illegal paramilitary organizations. Whether they’re trying to take over a military base in frozen tundra or overthrowing a government in Sub-Saharan Africa, the AK-47 works really well in every environment, is always available (usually at a steep discount) and will still work even if it falls into water, mud, sand or some other muck.
The average lifespan of a terrorist in a gunfight isn’t very long, so that rifle is likely going to hit the ground, and someone is going to need it to work when they pick it up. The terrorist group is definitely going to need a cheap replacement.”

“Tim Davie, the BBC’s Director General, refused antisemitism training for the broadcaster, the Government’s adviser on anti-Jewish hatred, Lord Mann, has revealed, reports the Telegraph.” A few thoughts on this 1) The “solution” to “BBC bias” is to privatise it. After that, I don’t care what they do. I don’t think OFCOM or anyone else should “regulate” news or any other content, either. I think it’s unrealistic to think you can eliminate bias, especially at the BBC now. If someone wants to try, they can choose to do so, just not with my money. 2) What does “antisemitism” mean? It seems to me its meaning is so vague as to be useless, like “racism”. It can mean anything from wanting to kill all of a particular race to “saying something about a particular race that someone else doesn’t like”. It seems to be used to shut down debate. 3) I dislike the whole idea of employers “training” their staff in stuff like this, and then it’s “job done”. You train people in skills. Whatever “antisemitism” is, it’s not a skill you acquire and neither is “non antisemitism”. It’s an opinion, tendency, state of mind. If you want your journalists to be… Read more »
Of course, information from these Russian TV channels is always hopelessly unreliable:
‘Russian propagandist Solovyov suddenly realized that Putin’s “demilitarization” of Ukraine has backfired and worked in reverse. “We are fighting with legendary weapons, while they have modern ones.” Legendary weapons — are those the donkeys?’
https://x.com/wartranslated/status/1906242551822114916?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet
The video you cite shows a short part of a discussion on large numbers of shells and drones in the conflict (it is not clear who is claiming what or why). The remark about donkeys comes from your Estonian blogger and makes little sense except that the guy unconditionally supports Ukraine and derides Russia at every opportunity. What is your point in posting this?
‘Russian soldiers appear to be using horses and donkeys to transport supplies to and from the front lines in Ukraine as high losses and insufficient production have created acute equipment shortages.’
Or could it simply be a more reliable way of getting suppies across boggy spring ground and through forested areas where a lot of the fighting is taking place. Doh!
‘Due to equipment shortages, Russian units have begun using civilian vehicles, including cars and minibuses, to transport personnel and supplies.
Videos filmed by Russian soldiers show frontline roads littered with burned-out civilian and military vehicles.
As a result, the Russian army has resorted to using pack animals for transporting ammunition and other supplies.’
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2025/03/03/russian-armys-use-of-donkeys-in-ukraine-underscores-a-staggering-equipment-shortage-a88174
The front line of course is littered with Ukrainian vehicles since it is they who are retreating. You base this on the MT report, which claims to be independent, which translates into being anti-Russian.
The pictures show individual animals being cared for by soldiers; these lads are just normal people who love animals and adopt all sorts of animals (or are adopted by them), there being plenty of videos of cats, dogs and other furry creatures sharing their rations. Add to this livestock that may have been left behind by their owners.
It is a break from the inhumanity of the fighting.
It is of course a shame that people have to express everything in disparaging terms and the propaganda from the MT is a case in point and shame on you for pushing this story in the terms you have.
Of course, information from our Kiev correspondent is always hopelessly unreliable:
‘More Russian fighters are complaining: they’re treated as “cannon fodder” in a hopeless situation. Families appealed to authorities but got only empty responses. The fighters also report beatings and threats at their unit.’

‘“If Russia and I are unable to make a deal on stopping the bloodshed in Ukraine……I am going to put secondary tariffs on oil, on all oil coming out of Russia,” Trump said in an early-morning phone call with NBC News on Sunday.
“That would be that if you buy oil from Russia, you can’t do business in the United States,” Trump said. “There will be a 25% tariff on all oil, a 25- to 50-point tariff on all oil.”
“There will be a 25% tariff on oil and other products sold in the United States, secondary tariffs,” Trump said, noting that the tariffs on Russia would come within a month without a ceasefire deal.’

“‘Arrogant’ BBC bosses rejected antisemitism training for staff”
I don’t understand how this kind of Diversity, Equality & Inclusion “training” is any different from any other kind.
All DEI training is utterly insulting for staff, telling them how they should think, what their view of the world should be, how their own personal opinions are worthless and wrong.
DEI training is nothing more than in-house RE-EDUCATION CAMPS like in Maoist China and Stalinist Russia. They are also a colossal waste of company time and money.
Furthermore, they are a kind of demeaning punishment, like AFTER-SCHOOL DETENTIONS for adult workers, nothing to do with their work.

This article is vitally important for westerners, a real victory by the UK National Crime Agency, so here is a free version on MSN:
Traditional Islamic banking system used to finance small boat crossings
“Hawala is an informal method of transfer without physical money actually moving that originated in South Asia [= INDIA] during the eighth century and is still used today, particularly in the Islamic community.”
“It is exploited by gangs because transfers of funds are agreed between operators, or hawaladars, in different countries, which means MIGRANTS CAN TRAVEL ACROSS EUROPE WITHOUT CARRYING ANY CASH.”
Here’s another article that explains the Hawala system in very clear detail:
