Bob Mike Buchanan: Our thanks to John for tracking down the apparent author of the
Football365 piece, a trashy piece containing errors and misleading
statements, which seemingly resulted in Birmingham City FC inadvisedly
terminating the contract for ICMI18, despite having no legal grounds to
do so. The article didn’t contain the author’s name – a sure sign of
cowardice – but we believe it to be Daniel Storey. His Twitter account
is @DanielStorey85, his tweets relating to ICMI18 are here. He writes:
NEW: Birmingham City have questions to answer over links to controversial political party. https://t.co/t7V1xIM23N pic.twitter.com/IHryOiEoeD— Daniel Storey (@danielstorey85) 1 November 2017
Pleased that Birmingham City have now responded to this by banning the organisation from St Andrew’s. A good ending.
On a lighter note, you may recall that I made some remarks in the
video about being pleased that Birmingham City FC are known as The
Blues, because that was apt for a men’s rights conference, ‘blue for
boys, pink for girls, as nature intended’. It was a throwaway remark
which some humourless people have objected to. Daniel Storey is clearly
among their number, and he tweets:
It’s a wonder blue tits haven’t died out, what with them all being male.
The man’s a blithering idiot. Blue tits are a species, and both males and females have some blue plumage. If they’re all male, how does he imagine they breed?
Another misleading statement in Daniel Storey’s Facebook365 hit piece
Support For Victims Of Domestic Violence
Amongst the points in Buchanan’s detailed manifesto is criticism for the public funding of women’s domestic abuse organisations such as Women’s Aid…Our 2015 general election manifesto – the document to which Storey refers – is here. Domestic violence is explored over pp.26-30. We are critical of Women’s Aid and other such organizations – with justification – but there is no ‘criticism for the public funding of women’s domestic abuse organisations such as Women’s Aid’. Rather, there is a demand for public funding to support male victims of domestic violence. Proposal #2, on p.30:
Without reducing the support given to female victims of IPV, [J4MB emphasis] Local Authorities should make funding available, and other support, to groups supporting male victims of IPV, whether through the provision of helplines, refuge places, or in other appropriate ways that take account of men’s needs in crises such as this. The amount of funding and support should reflect what is known about the proportion of victims of IPV who are men. Funding should include awareness raising initiatives to make men aware of the existence of support services.
