GLOBAL LOOTING: A Year On, It Is Real….And Has More Slithery Tentacles Than Newscorp
By John Ward: I
wrote the above post almost exactly a year ago today. The piece looks
odd today in some respects, but the prediction and the question remain:
they’re going to steal from us, and if they do, who will consume with
sufficient enthusiasm to keep the show on the road?
There are times when each year feels like another twelve months lying face-up beneath Madame la Guillotine, watching the razor-sharp blade head towards one’s neck. But in many ways, 2013 consisted of a sort of grudging, anger-inducing admiration (on my part anyway) for the myriad scams these people invented in order to soften us up for The Final Heist. And today, another of them has been uncovered.
It’s been revealed that millions of people are being ripped off by government agencies forcing them to use premium rate phone lines. Currently, a third of customer telephone lines across Central Government use higher rate numbers with half of those lines serving the poorest people. More than 130 million calls from the public are being charged at a rate of up to 45p per minute at an estimated total cost of £56 million a year.

Male/female Discrepancies in Transsexualism
By Jesse Folsom: While
transsexualism has been and remains a poorly-understood condition,
certain consistent aspects have been outlined by experiment and
observational evidence. One of these aspects is the discrepancy between
the sexes, which several, mostly European studies have
shown is quite wide, with around three times as many male-to-female as
female-to-male transsexuals. But, what are the reasons for this
discrepancy? To examine that, we must first examine the phenomenon of
transsexualism itself.
Many would suggest that the cause of transsexualism is inherent and genetic. They point to differences in the brain structures of transsexuals, prior to any treatment with hormones or surgery, as evidence of these inherent differences. Transsexual brains appear to be more like those of the sex they identify with, rather than those of the sex they are associated with by virtue of their chromosomes, hormones, and primary and secondary sex characteristics.
These studies are problematic, however, since they tend to feature incredibly small sample sizes that make any statistical conclusions suspect. Further, even if we accept discrepancies in the brains of transsexuals as an assumption, this is a far cry from establishing that these differences are inherent. Indeed, there is strong evidence that human brains are extremely malleable, up to and throughout adulthood. Brains can quickly and dramatically rewire themselves in response to the right stimuli. Of course, this capacity is even greater in childhood.

Janet Street-Porter: The Most Vile Misandrist In Britain
By Mike Buchanan: Our
thanks to J for pointing us to this story. An hour ago he called and
spluttered, ‘Mike, you won’t believe what the hag has written about
today!’ Sure enough, he was referring to a piece by the ‘personality’
and ‘journalist’ Janet Street-Porter. I can’t recall when a piece in a
newspaper – British or otherwise – last made me so angry.
The Daily Mail has many fine female columnists and one truly vile
one, Janet Street-Porter. At the very time of year when so many men are
suffering the most due to denial of access to their children, because
their vindictive ex-partners employ the services of the state to enforce
that denial, JS-P has been so cruel as to write a piece published in
today’s edition titled, ‘Deadbeat dads are the real problem’. It’s the
second story in her column:
In a vile piece, possibly the most vile is this:
In this country, courts do not deny dads access to their children unless they are deemed a threat. There has to be a very good reason not to grant them the right to see their kids every other weekend.
Leaving aside the issue of whether access to children ‘every other weekend’ is reasonable access - we believe it’s not - can JS-P possibly be unaware how blatantly untrue these remarks are? More importantly, can her editor be unaware? And how about this?
