If I were incapacitated in a burning building I'd be more concerned about someone dragging/carrying me clear than any details about them. That being said a mate of mine (who was a Sub-Officer in the local Fire Brigade) did persuade me (6'3" 250lb) to be a "casualty" on one of their training exercises. The only difference between the male and female crew was I had to wear a helmet more with the women (the stairs in their training tower were steep enough for anyone shorter than 5'6" to run the ris…

Rosalind Franklin lacked a fairly important thing to be included in the Nobel Prize that Crick and Watson won. No, not a penis. A pulse. Nobel Prizes are not, have never been, and going on what the committee say never will be awarded posthumously

Franklin was never going to be included with Crick and Watson, she lacked something far more fundamental that is a prerequisite for a Nobel - a pulse. Nobel Prizes aren't, have never been and unless something drastic changes never will be awarded posthumously. The guy who took the famous photo wasn't a technician - he was a postgraduate student, who went on to become a full professor at the same university and was fairly big in vascular ultrasound.

I don’t know or know of any feminists who think women can’t rape men That is literally the law where I am - only males over the age of eight (?!) can be changed with rape. But then again it's only been 25 years since men could legally be raped at all (as opposed to non-consentual buggery, which carried a very similar sentence for the perpetrator but no support for their victims).

In fairness they weren't initially behind it - that was a retired admiral whose entire combat experience was supporting one siege in the Crimean War from the decks of a ship that was part of a two-power system navy. They didn't half pick up the idea quickly and run with it as far as they could though.

This doesn't happen in the UK, after one disastrous attempt by a female reporter to interview the England Rugby captain after a hard-fought world cup match that they had won (against expectations). He was with towel, and gave as good an interview as could be expected. What stopped any further reporters was the rest of the team with tons of beer but without towels "singing" lewd songs in the background while they were broadcasting live.

As a Brit with acquaintances who live on the Falklands I have to say that anything else that acts as a distraction for whichever populist government has broken their economy this time can't be that bad a thing.

There's a fairly obvious reason for the use of the Daily Mail (which is definitely on the right of the British press) - pretty much both ends of the press only report on things that fit their narrative. Meaning that it's the only mainstream national source reporting on her return. There are other news sources (student focused ones being the obvious) that have covered it, like the Tab.

Could be either. In the UK there was one moderately large fellowship that was only open to women, but that changed a few years ago. It's now for those who "require a flexible working pattern due to personal circumstances, such as parenting or caring responsibilities or health issues", so while they're on the right side of the letter of the law the reality is that the vast majority of the applicants and the overwhelming majority of the awardees are women.

It's a British cartoon poking fun at Teresa May's latest Brexit big idea to try and avoid the monumental increase in paperwork when trading with the EU - the latest buzz-phrase is having a "close regulatory alignment".

They did it because they know they'd lose That's the thing, even if they were to win in a court (which is quite likely as I think an expressed opinion cannot be libellous, only an incorrect fact, and as they rarely if ever justify their mud slinging then there are no facts to be wrong) they'd lose.

The problem, as I see it (don't live in London, but lived in another bicycle-heavy UK city for more than a decade) is that there is a high concentration (of all genders, races, etc, but not a complete saturation) of arseholes with minimal situational awareness and absolutely no respect for the rules of the road. And while it isn't the case at present, there is pressure to make the car driver automatically "at fault" for any collision regardless of who actually caused it.

There are some restrictions in the UK - you need photo id and to be over 18 - mainly because it's a precursor chemical used in explosives, but they can't be too strict lest they inadvertently restrict the sale of car batteries too.

So not guilty of murder (mandatory life sentence) but guilty of causing grevious bodily harm with intent (section 18 of the offences against the person act 1861) causing greater injury with circumstances indicating higher culpability - starting point is 12 years, guideline maximum is 16 years. Maximum sentence for the offence is life. We'll just have to see what the judge makes of it.

So we have an expert with a cv of over 120 films and tv series, including 5 Bond films, 3 Star Wars films and 2 Alien films, who was also in charge of the stunts (and would have been the one held accountable should the stunt have gone fatally pear shaped) in an area that he was presumably trained in preferring to do the stunt himself rather than the “great in a fight but not so good in a car” stuntwoman with a cv roughly a sixth the size of his?

It largely depends on the individual media outlet - whether they prefer sticking it to men in general (in which case expect minimal coverage) or sticking it to "the man" (in which case expect them to milk it for as much as they can until the next fuckup occurs).

The irony is that the tiny footnote is actually an improvement.

Neither side actually declared war - the UK was enfofcing a legally binding United Nations Security Council resolution ( UNSCR502 ), and the Argentine military junta didn't bother (possibly out of fear of widening the war to include more on the mainland more than the 8-man observation post at Rio Grande air base that is).

As a matter of idle curiosity, and aside from the morality and legality of discrimination I'd be fascinated by the treatment of this negative discount in tax terms - it's quite possible that they're only charging tax on the pink price, meaning they're defrauding the tax office by the tax due on the difference.

Ah, the Independent. Not saying it's indicative, but if you're trying and failing to be the Guardian-lite then you have a very bleak future as a newspaper. No, but wait, they can't be called a newspaper as they couldn't afford to print it anymore.

I always play a little mental game when I read these sort of things, just go through it and where it says men/male, simply substitute Jews/Jewish. If, at the end of it, it feels like you've been reading from The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or something from late-30s Germany, then treat it accordingly.

Well, at least Argentina isn't advertising itself as "the whitest country south of Canada" any more. Under both of the Kirchners (her husband was president before she was) Argentina turned into even more of a nepotistic kleptocracy than it was before them (difficult), and now she's out of office she needs to seem a victim before her malfeasance over anything (my guess is either having her hands in the till or the mysterious death of the prosecutor investigating a 1994 bombing of a Jewish Centre …

A couple of years ago I was actually moderately hopeful about Bindle, hell she even wrote an op-ed in the Guardian worrying that feminism was in danger of becoming toxic (this was in the aftermath of Dr Matt Taylor committing the heinous sin of wearing a non-sanctioned shirt, the following twitterstorm and his Cultural-Revolution-style public apology), but no, it turns out that she'd been on the wrong end of the twitterati over her frankly transphobic views slightly afterwards.

There are two main types of "private ambulances" that I've seen in the UK: 1) Public events above a given size are obliged to have some emergency medical services on site - this tends to be charities (British Red Cross & St John's Ambulance) or private companies, who will charge less than the local ambulance trust (who don't really want one of their limited number of fully crewed ambulances sat around for the duration of the event, with their highly trained crew sat about drinking tea).

Actually women can be convicted of rape in the UK, they just can't commit it. They can still be convicted as accessories during the fact. Coverage of the same case from the Daily Mail and Guardian, of one of the very rare convictions - where an 18 year old woman was convicted, she was one of the ringleaders in a particularly vicious gang rape.

No, there weren't. No-one was burned at the stake, six men and thirteen women were hanged after being convicted, and one man was slowly crushed to death over two days without entering a plea (they couldn't convict him if he didn't enter a plea, and without a conviction his family wouldn't automatically have their land confiscated). It's a good play from what I remember of it (which is largely the stage directions and props cues).

There's a bit of a disconnect here, along with a fairly common recurring theme: British firms sell arms (or the components, or the tools required to manufacture) to the government of country X. Armed groups (i.e non-governmental groups, often intent on actually overthrowing the government) use or target children. Therefore the British (UK centre-right) government is bad in the eyes of the (as far left as has a mainstream readership) Guardian. And to take the lack-of-awareness biscuit, the articl…

Notice their postures, stood fully upright, walking not running, not moving immediately to cover and so forth. Either they were pathologically unaware (which in an opposed amphibious landing is usually a terminal condition), or the fighting was sufficiently far away that they weren't under fire or likely to come under fire. Yes, they were in harms way to a degree, and fair play for that. If the landing forces were defeated (meaning that the enemy would have gotten past the thousands of troops in…

As someone who was born with a misdirected little toe on one foot (it's all there, but it sits on top of the next toe along) I can confirm this. The only problem that it has ever caused me is that one of my feet is one width fitting bigger than the other (but that is more-or-less cancelled out by the fact that my "normal" foot is half a (length) size bigger anyway). Having four (normally functional) working toes on a foot is perfectly sufficient. Bring on the surgical bolt cutters.

Concur, I grew up in the countryside with (among others) a major racing stable in the next village, horses vary as to what it takes to spook them into potentially running in front of a car or lashing out at it. I've seen enough nags and carthorses who were all but oblivious to everything, but I've also seen racehorses that are barely contained bags of twitchy psychosis. They all look the same, especially from the back. The horse and rider has as much right to be on the road as the BMW in the UK …

For anyone considering it, it might be worth comparing and contrasting an interview with a BBC journalist to what actually made it to broadcast. The problem is that if no-one is willing to reach out and engage with them, then they won't hesitate to say so and put the worst possible spin on it. Best (and perhaps least likely) case is that the journalist will at least pretend to be impartial, but more likely it'll be the one-way-hatchet-job and the-other-way-kid-gloves-and-slow-balls that wouldn't…

I can't speak for the US, but the UK ended their full ban in 2011, based on their scientific advice, following improvements in testing for things (HIV being the most obvious, but not the only pathogen). I do find it disconcerting that people think that only donations from particular risk groups are tested. Is that really the case in the US? In the UK all donations from all donors (regardless of their relative risk) are tested for Syphilis, HepB, HepC, HIV and HTLV as a matter of routine, as well…

Three important things to consider: 1) Margaret Thatcher was the most right-wing PM in recent history 2) The Mirror is the most left-wing paper in mainstream distribution 3) In English law it is impossible to libel dead people.

The irony is that before autumn 1994, the team from Somerville College would be guaranteed to be single-sex - they only started admitting male students then. It's also of some interest that Somerville have gone all meritocratic - my experience (admittedly from more years ago than I care to admit to) was that the only team that was selected on merit was the Open University team. It was noticeable that the Uni I was at somehow always managed to select a team that included the president of the stud…

You have spotted that this article is from the UK? Where only approx 10% of police officers are firearms trained (let alone equipped)? And are normally equipped with "a 50g tin of pepper spray which doesn't work and a flimsy aluminium stick"? In actuality, the only places that you're likely to see armed police (unless you know what you're looking for) are airports, nuclear power stations and Northern Ireland.

I think it's being done pretty much across the board (I follow several UK emergency service personnel blogs) as at least notionally everyone who holds the Office of Constable (one of the oddities is that being a police officer in the UK is that it is an appointment rather than a job - which lets the government out of scads and scads of employment regulations) is expected to at least be capable of deploying.

As someone from the UK, I have to say that the whole banknote thing hilarious. A bit more background on it: From 1970 the back of Bank of England bank notes (other notes are available, it's complicated) there have been pictures of the great and the good from the UK. Every so often they redesign the notes and put a different person on the back. The list of people who are on the back of notes are (with the dates): £1 note (1978-1988) Isaac Newton - (physicist and mathematician) £5 note (1971-1991)…

She would've been charged with perverting the course of justice (it's a fairly catch-all offence that covers anything from making a false allegation to nobbling witnesses, interfering with jurors and concealing evidence). The normal sentencing range is 4-36 months.

From my reading of the story the now convicted false accuser was from Birmingham, but was at uni in Reading- which would explain why TVP (Thames Valley Police) rather than WMP (West Midlands Police) were investigating. If it's any comfort, from their reputation Reading Uni is arguably worse for PC/SJWs than Birmingham is.

The most priceless two incidences were: 1) Where one polite young woman demanded to know why a man in a London park hadn't enlisted. "Because I'm German." He got a feather. 2) When one Seaman George McKenzie Samson was presented with a white feather while in civilian clothes. His uniform having been pretty much trashed when he was machine gunned in Gallipoli, during the action that resulted in him being awarded the Victoria Cross. He was on his way to a public reception in his honour.
