Blithering Idiots At 100+ Organizations In The Financial Services Sector Are Colluding With Blithering Idiots At HM Treasury To Harm The Financial Services Sector

By Mike Buchanan: A few weeks ago I sent a written submission to the DBIS inquiry into corporate governance, in relation to gender diversity on corporate boards. Followers of this blog and that of the associated Campaign for Merit in Business will need no reminding of the evidence of a causal link between increasing female representation on boards, and corporate financial decline.
That evidence has never been refuted by anyone to whom we’ve presented it, whether in government, business, academia, journalism, or elsewhere. Equally, nobody has ever provided us with evidence of a causal link between increasing female representation on boards, and corporate financial improvement (the alleged ‘business case’ for this ideologically-driven initiative).
Not having been invited by the DBIS inquiry to give oral evidence, during which I would have shown the government’s policy (since 2011) to be damaging to companies – bullying them into appointing more women onto their boards, with the threat of legislated gender quotas if they don’t do so ‘voluntarily’ – as I did at a previous DBIS inquiry, in November 2012, video here (56:50).

Red Menace + USA-Election/Protests + STFU Losers - WB7

58 Of New York’s 10,000+ Firefighters & Officers Are Women - $1.3 Millions Been Spent On Each For Bathrooms & Locker Rooms Since 2002, That's $77,000,000 / 58 - Beacuse Vagina

Via Martin, J4MB: The start of the article in the New York Post:

The FDNY is taking one more step toward diversifying its ranks: the completion of women’s bathrooms and locker rooms in all city firehouses, at a cost of about $77 million over 14 years.
FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro plans to announce the last leg of the effort — a three-year, $47 million construction program in 47 firehouses — when he swears in a 317 new probationary firefighters, including nine women, on Monday.
“Our current women firefighters, and the many more we are actively recruiting to join the department, deserve this,” Nigro said. “It could not have been possible without the city’s commitment of capital funds three years ago to complete the most difficult construction projects.”
Of more than 10,000 uniformed firefighters, the FDNY now employs 58 female firefighters and officers.

Some Professors Are More Equal Than Others

Feminism LOL: Professor Dr Jordan Peterson said they'll come for “you” next. Journalist Christie Blatchford was “next.” Blatchford is guilty of publishing the news.

Former UK Ambassador Blasts "CIA's Blatant Lies", Shows "A Little Simple Logic Destroys Their Claims"

Authored by Craig Murray: I have watched incredulous as the CIA’s blatant lie has grown and grown as a media story – blatant because the CIA has made no attempt whatsoever to substantiate it. There is no Russian involvement in the leaks of emails showing Clinton’s corruption. Yes this rubbish has been the lead today in the Washington Post in the US and the Guardian here, and was the lead item on the BBC main news. I suspect it is leading the American broadcasts also.

A little simple logic demolishes the CIA’s claims. The CIA claim they “know the individuals” involved. Yet under Obama the USA has been absolutely ruthless in its persecution of whistleblowers, and its pursuit of foreign hackers through extradition. We are supposed to believe that in the most vital instance imaginable, an attempt by a foreign power to destabilise a US election, even though the CIA knows who the individuals are, nobody is going to be arrested or extradited, or (if in Russia) made subject to yet more banking and other restrictions against Russian individuals? Plainly it stinks. The anonymous source claims of “We know who it was, it was the Russians” are beneath contempt.
As Julian Assange has made crystal clear, the leaks did not come from the Russians. As I have explained countless times, they are not hacks, they are insider leaks – there is a major difference between the two.
