Here We Go Again

I could be wrong about this, but if I have a health condition, I do believe it is my responsibility to take care of myself and not leave that responsibility to others. What do I mean by all this? As we go along, you will see what I mean. A…

Should Perpetrators of Domestic Abuse go on the Sex Offenders’ Register?

Domestic abuse of any kind is a despicable and insidious evil. This includes behaviour that is controlling, coercive, threatening, degrading and violent which also includes sexual violence. These behaviours are usually carried out by a partner, or an ex-partner. Whilst women can abuse their male partners (Sheree Spencer was recently…

Come One. Come All?

‘Segregational Appeal’. That’s a new one. Right? This phrase is attracting condemnation, it would appear, throughout all of Canada. And why? It’s all about the ‘Black Out’. Nothing to do with wartime activities, nothing to do with Covid-19, or anything like that. In the last year, two major Canadian theatres…

Criminals in (Police) Uniform

Can’t the police get anything right? First, they stop, search and arrest innocent people going about their innocent business. Then they say they haven’t got time to attend to house burglaries and car crimes, nor chase motorists who drive off without paying for their fuel. Neither do they have time…

Why We Need Women-only Spaces

I spent Twixmas in the West Country. Bath, to be precise, and what a Bath-ing I had. Water, water everywhere. Someone clearly misinterpreted my meaning when I said I am going to Bath. Had to buy an (emergency) pair of Wellingtons to see me through the rainstorm. Don’t think I…

When is a Christmas party not a Christmas party?

Christmas office parties. What about them? They are usually the best of fun. Fed and watered by the boss. Bearded, size-12-feet Malcolm from Accounts doing a jig with the usually strait-laced Elsie from Operations and giving those in attendance the laugh of the century (won’t say anything about photocopying your…

Rumble in the Jungle!

This wasn’t the story I had intended to post this week. I have another I’ve been working on, but that can wait.  Because this issue of the week is crucial. It crucial! It crucial! Right. Let’s talk jungle. As in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle. It’s…

Porn Again!

Did I read this right? Nuns and priests watch porn? Internet porn. Say what now? So, says their man in the know, the Pope himself. I can’t Adam and Eve it! So, here’s the Pontiff…anyway, how does he know? Did the Vatican carry out a survey of nuns and priests…

A Sentencing Conundrum

Help! I need somebody, help! Somebody please, please help me, help me! Not wishing to burst into song but I do need some help in figuring out a conundrum. “How can we help you, Miss J?” I hear you ask. Well, it’s come to my attention (as these things do)…

A man fit for the job? I don’t think so!

Well, that didn’t last long! A man put in charge of women’s monthly periods, tampons, sanitary towels, period pains, and the like. And it didn’t stop there. Jason Grant of Dundee, being the man in question, was also charged with menopause matters. He was appointed as, wait for it… Period…
