Small girl 🙈 big God 💪 on X - "I was a virgin until 24, started dating Moyo  since 21, he didn't pressure me, told me to take my time, loved, cared and still spent on me... After my 24th birthday, we had a big fight and separated.   I thought that was the end.  Out of anger I lost my virginity to a random guy and just 2 days after Moyo reached out to me. He wanted us back together.   I felt horrible cos I was no longer a virgin, I told him instantly because I was scared and didn't want to lead him on. But he was sad, angry and he went quiet.  That was the last time I heard from him.  I thought he loved me for who I am but sadly he was only after my body like every other man."
That is certainly one way to interpret it

dmoon on X - "Working in HR/recruiting is a massive power trip for women. It’s an extension of their role as sexual selectors in dating. As it stands, women choose who gets a job and who gets laid. I don’t think people realize how disastrous this is for society."
Ambers on X - "When I worked as the IT guy at a vocational school in my early 20s, most of the middle-aged women in the HR program seemed drawn to the profession because it allowed them to be surrounded by other middle-aged women and just small-talk and gossip for 3/4 of the day."

Temitope💕 on X - "Funny how most restaurants are full of male chefs, but at home it's magically a woman's duty. When it's unpaid, it's for women and when it's profitable, it becomes a 'man's passion'"
иωατα αиαγο єzє on X - "Funny how most prostitutes are women, but at home it's magically a man's duty to initiate sex. When it's unpaid, it's for men. And when it's profitable, it becomes 'women's liberation'"

america1776 on X - "I think one of the saddest things I’ve watched as I’ve gotten older is the fall of women. I won’t lie, it’s been tough going from women as Disney princesses to 50 percent of men wanting nothing to do with them. What’s sad is I don’t think it’s the ladies’ fault completely. But whatever it is, as a man you feel yourself growing a bigger ick toward them every day. The order of society is broken, and now that women have been given power they have shown they won’t do what’s best for society as a whole. I think that’s what we as men resent the most. Sad, sad situation."
⏳Brunus⌛️ on X - "Feminism, social media, and simps. That’s the big three—the triad behind the fall of women. Feminism taught them entitlement. Social media rewarded it. Simps validated and subsidized it. Each is destructive on its own, but together they’re greater than the sum of their parts because they endlessly reinforce one another."

Meme - Skylar Romines @skylarromines: "There was a guy from twitter who used to send me flowers weekly for a while. We met IRL for the first time & went to dinner about a month ago. After that, he asked me out again. I thanked him and was honest that I didn't think we'd be compatible long term & shouldn't continue. He hasn't sent me flowers once since then. It's always good to have an opportunity to see someone's true character when they don't think they're going to get what they want from you anymore. Like - someone who was genuinely invested in your happiness would've kept sending flowers."
Female entitlement is huge. Of course, if he had continued sending her them, she could've slammed him as a creep for making her uncomfortable and continuing when she'd made it clear she wasn't interested. There's no winning.

Meme - Meghan Murphy @MeghanEMurphy: "I have never in my life dated a man who plays video games. We are adults, correct? Why is this a debate."
sometimetyler: "This is why you're still dating at 40."

Thyroid Sick Of Getting Blamed For All Of Woman's Character Flaws | Babylon Bee - "Local woman Denise Stanton's thyroid gland has gotten increasingly fed up with getting blamed for all of her shortcomings.  Stanton has often accused her thyroid of being responsible for everything from being irritable toward her husband to shoveling three donuts in her mouth at once.  "I've had it," said the thyroid gland in a statement. "I'm done taking the fall for your mood swings, Denise. I didn't make you eat that whole bag of Doritos. I didn't make you yell at the UPS guy about his package-stacking technique. Take some responsibility for yourself, Denise!"  The thyroid had kept quiet for years, silently fuming as Stanton attributed every poor decision she made to her tiny gland. "She had three glasses of wine and tried to say I was causing her brain fog," sighed the thyroid. "Even when she said I made her stay up all night bingeing Gilmore Girls and downing Ho-Hos, I kept my mouth shut. Not any more, Denise."  At publishing time, Stanton had told her friends her thyroid must be acting up again as she had impulsively spent $5,000 on a new dress."

Meme - Patches O'Houlihan @sondraa: "Nothing like 4 divorces and 6 engagements to find out you're the problem"

Meme - @ma1ybe: ""What radicalized you" realizing Women have been menstruating for 300,000 years. The first sanitary pads appeared only in 1880. And it wasn't until 2023 that they were finally tested using actual blood, and surprise: turns out they don't work the way we thought. But strawberry Viagra exists, because apparently a bitter pill is just too much for men to deal with"
MAGA Life @MAGALife69420: "300,000 years waiting for a man to fix your problems and you STILL complain"

Meme - "The dating scene is far worse than most people realize. What a lot of these podcasts won't say is that men have legitimately given up. The reason they have given up is that women aren't fair anymore. They expect a lot and basically offer sex twice a month. It sounds harsh, but am I wrong? Unless you date a high school sweetheart or find someone at college, everything turns into a business deal, and all the single men I know want nothing to do with it. There's so much resentment toward women recently because men on a large scale have figured out American women aren't wives. They are career-driven, angry narcissists who think men owe them a lot just because they are women. It's just so tiring."
RossG @RossGSalvatore: "All movies and social media NEVER describe women's bad behavior of disrespect or cheating as BAD BEHAVIOR. NEVER EVER. Instead it's YAH, GO GIRL! Bad behavior, disrespect, hoeflation--are all encouraged as the way to act in life. How the hell did we even get here."

Them: Give me exact details and names and location or you’re lying.
And you wonder why women severely underreport rape."
jellybo on X - "Nigga that’s the basis of reporting any crime"

Raq on X - "What’s the point of dating anymore?  You find a man, you go on an amazing first date. He’s obsessed with you. You spend an extended period of time together without wanting to kill each other.  You start thinking this maybe could be something. So you tell him you like him, because honesty is the best policy, right?  WRONG you messed up already. He initially tells you he likes you too. Then it starts happening. He starts slowly pulling away.  Text messages happen a little more infrequently, you start calling and texting first. You call him out on pulling away, he says he’s “busy”   The man who was obsessed with you when he first met you (because you were out of his league) now has the power.  So eventually, you get annoyed and you send a paragraph telling him that you don’t want a penpal and you want to be treated correctly.  He replies I’m sorry, but doesn’t do anything to correct his behavior. No act in furtherance of his apology.  So it’s done, it’s over. Another one bites the dust.  A tale as old as time"
Westside L.A. Guy on X - "Here’s what happened. She had sex with a guy of higher sexual market value than her & is shocked that he won’t commit. The guy simply has better options than her. She can easily get commitment from a man of similar sexual market value but her delusion won’t let her."

We are married for 4 years and we never had a reason to quarrel or argue, most times I bring up baseless argument so we could just raise our voice yet he will find a way to avoid it. I know issues makes marriage stronger but I have never had any reason to at least act upset and have him beg and pet me. It's seriously eating me up, this man is too peaceful and quiet for my liking and I on the other hand is stubborn Please, how do I spice up my marriage and how do I get this man to at least raise his voice at me little. I want him to at least get angry once. This sound funny buts it's really bothering me. I am bored in this marriage."
Women love drama

Karen Eggleson on X - "I find it funny that a woman who has sex with different men is called a slut, but a man who has sex with different women is not. How come?"
Adriana Flowers 🌸 on X - "This is something that you will hear a lot from women. They complain about how only women are shamed for being promiscuous while men that do the same are not.   First of all, these women do not actually think there’s anything wrong with sleeping around. They just don’t like that women specifically get more shame for it than men. If no one was shamed they would love it.   Second of all, women create this double standard, yes. Ignore all the virtue signaling from most women that say they are grossed out by manwhores. Place a hot manwhore in front of them that wants them and all the “grossness” will disappear from their bodies. (These aren’t virginal women that complain about the double standard btw.)  The reality is that women simply do not find sexual immorality in general appalling. They think it’s ok when women do it, they think it’s ok when men do it (hence why they use incel as an insult for men, they hate men that aren’t being sexually immoral). The slut shaming tends to come from men and a minority of women. But who is shaming the minority of promiscuous men that are running through most women? No one.  And so the double standard is born. Mind you, women benefit from double standards all the time. They just don’t like double standards that don’t benefit them."
Right_in_the_middle on X - "It might be unfair, but the reality is that the characteristics that map onto highly promiscuous men make them highly desirable: charming, confident, attractive, intelligent, witty, successful, and so on.  Granted, a man with these characteristics who chooses not to be promiscuous is going to be perceived as the most valuable of men.  Whereas the trait that maps onto promiscuous women, or is necessary for promiscuity, is simply willingness.  So either women have to treat male promiscuity as a real negative that outweighs those traits, or men with those traits will keep being rewarded for not choosing exclusivity.  Fair, unfair, sex differences… it doesn’t matter. It’s just reality. Better to lay out the facts so the issue can be addressed."

6igantuar on X - "The vast majority of spiked drinks are actually just women that drank too much and claim their drink was spiked to avoid accountability. It’s nowhere near as common as women make out."
Bethany Cherisse on X - "I literally had a female friend in my early 20s who OD'd and nearly died on the nightclub floor in front of me. Once they brought her back around, she proceeded to insist to security, paramedics and our entire friend group that she was certain her drink had been "spiked". She even pointed out the guy she thought it was.  None of us believed her. Why would we? Every single one of us had seen her popping MDMA pills all night like it was candy. She just didn't want to admit that, so it was easier to rely on the old "I didn't put myself at risk a man slipped something in my drink and he's the one at fault."  Happens all the time."
Accountability is misogyny

The Robber Baron on X - "I had no idea. 70% of divorces are initiated by women; that jumps to 90% for college educated women.  I have a few male friends who are going through separations that are stunning.  Good dads, good husbands, nothing major wrong.  Toxic femininity is a thing"
Autumn Christian on X - "If you're married to someone who takes care of you, and is a good parent to your children, then you've won the game. There isn't anything out there that you're missing. You've already found what you're supposed to find.  So many people ruin their lives with a vague sense of dissatisfaction that is entirely constructed within their own minds. You're not going to find the answer by separating from your spouse, ruining your children's lives, partying, sleeping with strangers, "finding yourself" by taking a plane staring into the dead gas lamp sky of a thousand cities that all look the same in the heat of your misguided misery. I've blown my life enough to know that I'm skillful enough to recreate my own personal hell no matter the circumstances.  Stop trying to find the answer by running away. It's time to stay. Stay. You need to love harder. Explore what you already possess. Possess more only to give and enrich the life you currently have. Take responsibility for something important to you. Start a business. Take care of a relative. Be a better friend. Be a better parent. Create something beautiful. Love some more. Everything else is a dead end."

🦢 on X - "I divorced my husband because I was sick one weekend and asked my husband to pick up my medication on his way home. He said he would. When he arrived, he had takeaway for himself, a new video game, and a bag of snacks. No medication. When I asked him about it, he said, “I forgot.” Then he opened his food and asked if I wanted some. That was the moment I realized he could remember everything that made his own day easier, but somehow forgot the one thing I actually needed."
Clearly this has nothing to do with feminism radicalising young women into hating men (which we can see from the recent New Statesmen survey) and using every minor grievance as an excuse to justify divorce, and their grandmothers only stayed with their husbands because they couldn't leave

Then the coach stopped holding her.  So when she tried the backflip again, yeah, the girl fell, her head hit the ground, her neck snapped."

Lisa Britton on X - "All we hear all day every day is how men should “be better.” But the moment you mention how women could “be better” too, the internet breaks and there’s a wave of rage.  I got a heavy round of insults this afternoon for simply saying we should have a conversation about how, in many ways, women need to take accountability for their actions.  Fortunately, I’m used to insults. You’re not going to shame me into silence! Yes… Women can “be better” too, and it’s about time we had that conversation!"

Emily Jashinsky on X - "Consensual hookup culture often feels predatory to women because... it is. It preys on women's desire for monogamy and coupling and love, which many believe there's a chance of receiving even after casual sex. Frat bros around America are indebted to Alex Cooper for trying to convince so many women they can and should have sex like men. It's led to men having a lot more casual sex because women choose to have it. That norm is great for dudes, but women often end up feeling preyed upon and exploited because they experience sex differently and just can't — on average — have casual hookups so easily.   Cooper preyed on women to make millions by convincing them it was normal to see sex more like men see it. Men who mislead women into having casual sex by dangling the prospect of monogamy prey on women. It doesn't mean women are helpless! And it doesn't mean non-consensual sex is anything short of horrifying and criminal. It just means there's a predatory culture swirling around even consensual hookups too, and it's really dangerous for women."
True Discipline on X - "It isn't any more predatory than the norm of men paying for dates. Sometimes you make an investment and don't get anything in return..."
Thread by @olivertraldi on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "It is hard to know in what sense it could be "predatory". There's no information gap - it's not as though men somehow know something about women's future experiences that women themselves don't know. Another example of how talk around this issue really confuses me.  When we talk about "norms", people often act as though they can be changed from on high by some authority, or alternately as though no one has control over them at all, like the weather. But norms emerge from different people making independent choices, which turn into rules. I'm also a bit skeptical of the notion that young women are really wholly tricked - as though they've never before encountered this idea of differences in sexual experience. Men and women treating sex differently is all over literature, television, movies. It's not some epiphany. In the roots-of-wokeness debate Park MacDougald coined the phrase "demand problem" to explain why the notion that people got tricked by Foucault or critical race theory or whatever wasn't sufficient to explain the rise of wokeness. The tricking itself requires an explanation."
Feminism tells them that men and women are the same, so

Benjamin Ryan on X - "Research suggests that, contrary to Jashinsky's claims that Alex Cooper has unleashed a tragic libertine culture of empty hookups, casual sex among young people has actually declined in recent years.   Sex in general, whether it leads to love or is the product of it, has been on the decline, much to the alarm of people who see warning signs left and right that people are isolating themselves in the iPhone age.  Meanwhile, a major problem in the discourse about the Cornell 7/Jane Doe case is that many people are allowing how they feel about the story and how it has been told one way or another to override what we know about it. Similarly, just because it feels like empty sex must be on the rise doesn't mean that we know it to be true.  In short, we need fewer vibes, more reason. Less art, more matter."

The unspoken truth: Toxic women destroy good men - "There are women who wreck their own relationships and marriages. And you know how it begins? Not even acknowledging that she made a mistake and never saying sorry...   Emotionally reactive behavior in a woman feels extremely unsafe to a man. When our emotional reactions are out of control, and we start yelling at and attacking a man, many men will begin to shut down.   This shut down often causes us women to become even more emotionally reactive. Since we are not getting the response from him that we want, we yell louder and push even harder. Our words cut deeper. He feels even more unsafe, and he will eventually completely shut down and pull away.  We need to take responsibility for and learn to regulate our emotions. Again, communication of feelings needs to come from a place of vulnerability, not from a place where we yell at and attack him.  Genuine relationships are based on authentic connection with another person, not based on trying to get something from someone. When our goal is to get something, instead of to connect, we are using and objectifying the other person...   The foundation of a relationship is trust and safety. This foundation is established and maintained when both parties demonstrate kindness, compassion, and respect, along with a healthy dose of grace and forgiveness."

S'pore woman says social media manager put up LinkedIn post about meeting 'Piyush Gupta' in Bali, demanded S$5,000 to remove it - "Janney Hujic has been in the news cycle after purportedly posting a picture of "Piyush Gupta", which turned out to be not Piyush Gupta... Hujic clarified that it was her freelance social media manager who had posted it.  She told 8world that the freelancer, who is based in the Philippines, posted false content without her permission to attract traffic, and then "blackmailed" her for S$5,000 based on the number of likes.  The freelance social media manager even changed the password to prevent Hujic from logging into her account.  Hujic said she was on a cave exploration trip in Vietnam and had no internet access... The social media manager was paid a dollar for every like a post received, and was added in a group chat where she shares photos with friends.   Her account of the meeting in early May to 8World tallied with the man she took a picture with, Kumar H Subramaniam. Hujic said she had approached him, been told he wasn't Piyush, and had asked for a photo that she could share with her friends as a joke.  She later sent the photo to the group chat and posted it on Instagram, apparently jokingly writing: "Oh my, it's him."  She also showed 8world her Instagram stories as evidence.  According to Hujic, she speculated that the social media manager had chosen the time when Hujic was on a cave exploration trip, and offline, to put up the LinkedIn post for likes... According to messages between her partner and the social media manager shown to 8world, the social media manager apparently demanded S$5,000 to delete the post.  The message read: "Post has over 6k engagement. Pay me 5k SGD and I take down."Her partner reportedly paid the manager, but Hujic is still unable to access her accounts."

Meme - RoRo Marrelli: "I found my girlfriend's Only Fans. So I created an account using her dad's name and picture and tipped her very nicely with her own money. Now she won't answer her dads calls and he don't know why. This is how you know she's not a Bama fan."
"Here's an update: she's been upset but when I ask her what's wrong she says nothing is wrong. But we all know what NOTHING IS WRONG means lol. So there we were, last night. I was hitting it from the back and I said who's your daddy. Today she asked me not to say that again. So later on left the house as I normally do and when I signed into this evenings OF show she said she is going to be quitting her OF due to a career change and she won't have time anymore. Modern Problems require modern solutions."

Explaining the Cornell Seven and Jane Doe

Alex Knepper | Facebook

The Cornell case is a fabulous reminder of why I do not trust one syllable written by the mainstream press about sex-crime accusations. Very little about how this case was originally presented seems to hold up to scrutiny -- except maybe the original decisions of the university and the police.

 

I've waited a few days to comment on this tinderbox of a story because I wanted enough facts came out to form a coherent judgment. It's inevitable that any attempt to have a rational discussion about this topic -- ie, any discussion that does anything other than take the accuser totally at face-value -- will attract a swarm of moralizing crusaders chanting 'rape apology'. It's exactly like when one wants to argue with an evangelical crank who only knows how to call pro-choicers 'baby-killers' or trans people 'groomers': a total atrophy of logical thinking -- a terminal addiction to sloganeering. It's just how mobs function: thinking is displaced by incantation and indignation. They think the intensity of their convictions is proof they are right.

 

Trauma feminists are the religious right of the Democratic Party: totally impervious to evidence-based arguments, addicted to berserk moralizing, incomprehensibly dogmatic -- and always reliable for a good old-fashioned electoral self-harm mission, like when they led us on a wild goose chase against Brett Kavanaugh and ended up creating a situation where Republicans actually gained in the Senate during Trump's first term. Just as the religious right won't stop until they've recreated the Republican Party in the image of huckster televangelism, the trauma feminists won't stop until they've recreated the Democratic Party in the image of an all-female group therapy session. Their latest mission: affirming our God-given right to regret-free drug-fueled orgies.

 

The story as originally presented was this: a woman casually looks to spend a fun night hanging out with her friends, who happen to be members of a fraternity. But those so-called 'friends' have set her up. Once this Sandra Dee-style naïf was in the clutches of these predators, she was forced to consume illegal drugs, then subjected to a brutal gang rape at the hands of at least seven men, one of whom texted the rest of the frat, summoning them with their code word for an active rape. After this attack, she reported being gang-raped by these men to the university. But despite her abject terror of these woman-hunting men, only two were expelled from campus, with the others who gang-raped her only made to write essays, and no criminal charges were filed owing to a police culture that protects rapists and has contempt for women and their bodies. Once again, the reality of rape culture on university campuses -- and among men -- has been exposed. This would all be quite horrific, if it were to have happened exactly as reported.

 

Whatever happened that night, it's pretty clear by now that little about it aligns with this version of events -- and that there is not an unambiguous need for criminal charges.

 

This woman actually reports in her 2024 account that she went to the frat house specifically to participate in a drug-fueled orgy. She was not forced to use ketamine: everyone in the room was using drugs and drinking alcohol, including all of the men. She reports having consented to sex with multiple men, and taking the drugs of her own accord. (Why does being intoxicated render her incapable of consent but not the men?) As the night goes on, three other men enter the room, and when she tells them to go away...they listen to her. 'Free pussy' seems to be understood to be about a woman who has volunteered for anonymous group sex because she enjoys it -- and the men who came to the room appear, by her own testimony, to have honored her No when they found out she wasn't enjoying herself anymore. The other men continue their activity, and she starts becoming very uncomfortable as she's increasingly overwhelmed, but everyone is too intoxicated to process anyone else's intentions by this point. She reports at this point feeling certain she was being raped, and says that her thought at the time was that the best course of action would be to snort more ketamine off of one of the men's genitals, reasoning that if she did more drugs, maybe she'd pass out, and then if they continued to violate her when she was unconscious, she could charge them with rape. (Huh?) She actually, astonishingly, adds that she would be up for doing it all over again, except without so much drug use. (What!?) She texts one of the men later that the situation got out of hand and that she felt very uncomfortable, which leads the frat to disinvite her from the next house party, which she was eager to attend. (Huh?) Meanwhile, she wrestles with moral guilt about having volunteered to be the sexual plaything for an orgy in the first place, lamenting to a sorority sister that the awful rumors about her are true; that she is indeed a słüť.

 

It sure looks to me that what happened is something more like one of the natural risks of volunteering to participate in drug-fueled orgies. It reminds me of one of the times I went to the house of a guy I met on Grindr. He and his friend were both already drunk when I got there. It didn't take him long to start smacking me in the face, which I'd never consented to; my flavor of submission doesn't entail an enjoyment of pain, but his flavor of dominance apparently entailed inflicting it. I told him to stop. He didn't listen. I tell him to stop again. Still doesn't listen. Finally, I have to yell at him. After a few minutes, it sinks in that this guy is in fact a total stranger, he's too drunk to process what I'm saying, and he's already been violent toward me without my consent: I really don't know what's going to happen if I stick around. So: I left! (Imagine that!) I *did feel uncomfortable -- both in the middle of the incident, and afterward. But I told myself: that's part of the risk you take when you go to a drunk stranger's house, take off your clothes, and invite sexual activity! It would be profoundly ridiculous of me to do anything other than brush it off of my shoulder. If I can't handle a situation like that, then drug-fueled hook-ups might not be for me! These trauma feminists wouldn't cut it as gay men, I can tell you that.

 

But this woman seems to have instead felt ashamed of herself afterward. A quote from Nietzsche comes to mind: 'Memory says 'I have done that.' Pride says 'I could not have done that.' Eventually, memory yields." The only one sļúț-shaming this woman was she herself: she seems to have been disgusted with herself for being the kind of person who found pleasure in snorting drugs off of a guy's genitals while other men watched, and for getting herself sloshed enough that she couldn't coherently communicate her desires to other people sloshed out of their minds. Over time, encouraged by ideologues online -- she reports this internet activity herself; it is not my speculation -- she found it easier to accept that she was a victim of other people rather than her own poor judgment.

 

Hence the incoherence: I consented multiple times -- no, I am 100% sure I was raped. I am terrified of these men -- no, I want to go back to party naked with them again. They should be prosecuted -- no, nothing they did was illegal. I am certain of this -- no, I actually was so intoxicated that everything is blurry. I was coerced to use drugs -- no, I went there already knowing I'd be using drugs and actively wanted to keep using even as I felt violated. I was drugged by predatory men -- no, all of us were using the same drugs and they were as intoxicated as I was.

 

What jury would possibly convict based on such an ambiguous collection of statements? You can't run a steamroller over people's lives with such absurdly contradictory evidence. It is simply impossible to determine what really happened that night, through multiple layers of heavy intoxication and rapid-cycling apparent affirmations of and apparent withdrawal of consent. The whole episode was about as hedonistic and 'immoral' as it gets, with extremely poor judgment shown by everyone involved: hence the two expulsions and the closing of the frat chapter by Cornell in response to the incident -- a response that looks vastly more reasonable now that we have more context. The university clearly felt that the young men behaved recklessly by allowing drug-fueled orgies to begin with, and reasoned that closing the frat down and expelling two of the main participants was sufficient. That's not exactly a light punishment for reckless and illegal conduct, actually.

 

It sounds like the woman *was extremely uncomfortable by the end of the night -- and that the men didn't realize it at the time, and agreed with her after listening to her that the way it unfolded was regrettable. One apologized. That's why they refused to let her come to the next party, even though she *wanted to get drunk and naked with her apparent rapists again, the next week.

 

Her regret points us to the reality that serious discomfort is a major risk when you place yourself in a situation like that -- where communication becomes extremely compromised. As I discovered myself, there's no foolproof way to know things will go exactly as-planned when you're naked and intoxicated with horny strangers. There is no God-given right to comfortable, risk-free drug-fueled orgies. If you're too fragile to process that sort of discomfort, an easy way to avoid it is to not snort illegal drugs after taking all of your clothes off and instructing a group of men to use your body for their pleasure. Again: the idea of a gay man acting traumatized by this belongs in comedy.

 

The woman and her male lawyer certainly know how the mainstream media works when it comes to sex crimes. From the Duke Lacrosse case to the Michael Jackson trial, from the Rolling Stone UVa episode to the Jay-Z accuser, from Graham Platner to Al Franken: the press reports one-sided sensational accusations at face value, no regard is given to any potential defense, nobody cares what the accused have to say for themselves, anyone asking for evidence is tagged as an apologist for whatever the accused is said to have done, and no accountability ever takes place among those who ended up exposed as having been willing to destroy the lives of innocent men in the name of a moral crusade: again, very much like the religious right in its manic quest for sexual purity. The holiness of their motives is supposed to serve as a substitute for evidence. But we still don't know who 'Jackie' from UVa is. The woman who falsely accused the Duke Lacrosse players, Crystal Mangum, was never charged. Accountability is only for men, apparently. Where else in life do we allow such asymmetry of information?

 

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has decided to do a complete circumvention of the ordinary legal process by presupposing the guilt of the accused, appointing as a special prosecutor Attorney General Letitia James, who referred to the accuser as a victim and a survivor, indicating that she's already made up her mind about what happened and has already concluded Cornell in the 2020s is a hotbed of misogyny and sexual predation. In what other legal context would this be considered appropriate?

 

Alright, bring it on: let's see if anyone cares to argue against me using evidence rather than by calling me a rape apologist. As a gay guy who knows what these situations are like, I am immune to the slings of 'incel' and accusations of trying to justify my way with women, so good luck trying that one. Can't wait to see how many people try it, anyway. Here's a tip for debating with me: I am receptive to evidence-based arguments, but not to moralizing and shaming. If you didn't learn that about me when I was standing nearly alone in defense of Graham Platner, you'll never learn. Sex crimes are the defining moral panic of our time, and if I am the only person in the Democratic Party willing to say so without fear, so be it: one person with the truth has the edge over a million members of an angry mob armed with nothing with taunts to intimidate and shame.

Links - 20th October 2026 (Cornell "Rape")

CBS Mornings on X - "If Jane Doe’s case against seven members of a Cornell University fraternity goes to trial, prosecutors will show “a mosaic,” that may include the text messages Doe sent to at least two of the fraternity members accused of sexual assault, CBS News legal analyst @CarolinePolisi says. Polisi breaks down the “textbook trauma response” Doe exhibited in some of those text messages, and what could come next as the legal process continues to play out."
Phil Holloway ✈️ on X - "I’ve personally handled countless cases of SA in various roles in the justice system. There is no such thing as a “textbook trauma response”. This is made up wording that serves as a euphemism for prior inconsistent statements"

Rich Lowry on X - "Even if you disregard all the initial text messages, you still have Jane Doe’s sworn statement *a month later* when she’s had time to process what happened and decided it was very bad, and her detailed account of the night still doesn’t include anything that constitutes sexual assault—this is the ultimate flaw in the case and most media coverage and advocacy pretend that it doesn’t exist. You can assume everything in that statement is truthful and correct, and you still don’t get a rape case."

OutspokenSamantha on X - "Jane Doe: I had sex with several men at once!
Feminists: You go girl!
Jane Doe: But I'm ashamed...
Feminists: You were raped!!"

Liz Wheeler on X - "She read on forums that she was a slut and felt ashamed. Then someone on the forum suggested she consider it sexual assault and report it. Then she was disinvited from the frat Halloween party. So, she was ashamed (she should be). She felt violated (she was, even if she consented). She was mad (about being disinvited to the party). This is key— She’s also dumb because she had zero knowledge of the definition of rape when she went to police. Regret over your horrendous behavior is not rape. She’s a double dose of dumb actually, because apparently she told police accurately about what happened (not rape, she consented), which demonstrates that her claim of rape is false. But she’s been raised in a culture where it’s only a baby if you want it to be, and boys can be girls if they feel like it, so why shouldn’t she think it’s rape if she’s decided it’s rape? Leftist ideology at work. Instead of taking responsibility for her horrendous behavior, she wants to celebrate herself as a victim. In other words, she’s being nasty and vindictive trying to whitewash her shame with false allegations. But the real story here is deep down EVERYONE involved and everyone who’s now following this case recognizes that what happened was disgusting, immoral, and sexually deviant. Which means we as a society actually do recognize that sex isn’t just a handshake, and the morality of sex can’t be reduced to just consent. God was right all along. Imagine that. Sex is holy and belongs within marriage. Otherwise, sexual depravity reigns and everyone is hurt. She should go to confession not the police station."

Thread by @JonathanTurley on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "Michael S. Roth, the president of Wesleyan University, is calling for fraternities to be forced to admit women to change the culture. It is a call that is feeding a familiar mob forming over a case before any charges or evidence is established. Many politicians, pundits, and professors are replicating what occurred in the Duke controversy and refusing to wait for any charges, let alone a conviction, in the alleged Cornell rape case. Roth notably does not call for the compelled admission of men into sororities. It is the type of virtue-signaling move that Roth has made into a virtual signature of his tenure at Wesleyan. Calling neutrality “a retreat,” Roth previously led calls for universities to reject “institutional neutrality” and officially support Kamala Harris."

Willis Eschenbach on X - "Folks keep telling us we're supposed to "believe all women". Here is what Jane Doe told the DA in a sworn statement under penalty of perjury, immediately after the Cornell incident.
"Jane Doe’s sworn statement in November of 2024 did not allege that she was drugged against her will or gang raped. On the contrary, Jane Doe’s statement described her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual. My office obviously did not and could not have based our November 2024 decision on the allegations in a civil lawsuit that would not be filed until nearly two years later. Furthermore, I have never been contacted by Jane Doe’s attorneys. Not to inform me the original statement was inaccurate and not to ask me to reconsider our decision. Rather, I reached out to Jane Doe’s attorneys after the lawsuit was filed to understand the discrepancy between the original statement and the lawsuit’s allegations and the proper path forward in light of the lawsuit’s allegations."
The DA goes on to say:
"Jane Doe provided a six-page, single spaced, typewritten statement to the Cornell University Police Department. Jane Doe made more than twenty hand-written notations to the six-page document. The signature page of the statement contains the following language: “I have read this statement consisting of 6 pages and the facts contained herein are true and correct. I understand that making a false written statement is punishable as a class A Misdemeanor pursuant to §210.45 of the Penal Law of the State of New York.” As I explain further below, the statement – especially as it relates to the legal definition of “lack of consent” – provides a different narrative and set of facts of the events of October 19, 2024 than those alleged in the lawsuit."
OK, I believe her sworn statement … what's next? I see that Governor Hochul has decided the boys are guilty. She makes the following false claim:
"She spoke to the police. She sat for hours and told them exactly what happened to her. And according to new reports, she could not have been clearer that she was 100% confident that she had been raped. Yet, shockingly, those words never made it into the account that the Cornell police sent to prosecutors."
That is a FLAT-OUT LIE. Jane Doe signed a six-page document after making a number of hand-written notations on it and she NEVER said she was raped, much less that she was 100% confident about it. In any case, Gov. Hochul has appointed Letitia James as Special Persecutor to handle the case … so I figure it's only a matter of time until she indicts Trump as a co-conspirator. "Believe all women", indeed …"
The same people who demand "due process" for illegal immigrants, i.e. get endless appeals even though it's been proven that they have no right to be in the country, demand that the Cornell Seven be jailed without a trial despite no evidence they did anything legally wrong. Left wingers are hypocrites

Links - 19th October 2026 (2 - Brexit)

Farage: Burnham reopening Brexit debate is gift for Reform - "Nigel Farage has said Andy Burnham has given him a “gift” in reopening the Brexit debate.  The Reform UK leader said a referendum on rejoining the EU would “bitterly” divide the country, and accused the Prime Minister of contradicting his own plans for devolution.  It comes after Mr Burnham said a second Brexit referendum was a possibility as part of his review of Britain’s relationship with the EU... Mr Burnham, who until June was the mayor of Greater Manchester, previously promised to “rewire the state” by moving power away from London.  The Reform leader said: “This is the pro-devolution prime minister…to even consider rejoining the single market, the customs union, let alone the European Union itself, is the opposite of devolution.  “A massive transfer of huge powers up to an authority, whereby there’s nothing Parliament could do to change any of it.  “So I find the whole thing totally contradictory.” When Mr Burnham stood in the Makerfield by-election that propelled his return to Parliament, he promised not to “rerun” Brexit arguments and said he was “not proposing that the UK considers rejoining the EU”.  The Prime Minister’s constituency of Makerfield voted overwhelmingly to leave the EU in 2016, at 65 per cent. Other parts of the Red Wall – historically a cluster of Northern Labour-voting, working-class constituencies – voted in favour of Brexit, with 59.2 per cent in the West Midlands and 58 per cent in the North East opting out of the EU."

Rachel Gilmour, MP for Tiverton & Minehead on X - "From today, EU citizens have a legal right to know when they're talking to a bot or looking at a deepfake, backed by fines of up to €15m. Thanks to Brexit, we're missing out on this protection."
Pro EU people think national legislatures are unable to introduce their own legislation. This is without even getting into whether it's a good idea

Brexit was supposed to limit immigration – it did the opposite - "Why, having promised more control over immigration, did net migration rise so much, an episode now sometimes described as the Boriswave. A small part was a bounce-back from the pandemic, but most of it was a result of policy decisions by the government and others.  First, the government opened new humanitarian routes for Ukrainians fleeing the war there and for some Hong Kongers in response to the new national security law there which was felt to violate earlier agreements between the UK and China. These actions were unconnected to Brexit and were broadly politically popular. But the government also made a number of other changes to work and student migration visas which led to a very large increase in numbers.        It made care workers eligible for work visas, with numbers issued far exceeding predictions. The implementation of this visa was incredibly poor: for example, 275 visas were issued to a care home that did not exist and 1,234 visas issued to a firm that had only four employees. In 2023 over 100,000 visas for care workers were granted.  The skilled worker visa was extended to medium-skill jobs (as recommended by the Migration Advisory Committee – full disclosure, I was Chair at the time), but the government also decided that jobs deemed to be in shortage should have lower minimum salaries for visas, in some cases only slightly above the minimum wage. From an economist’s perspective, responding to a shortage in workers by lowering wages was a bizarre decision.  At arm’s length from the government, NHS England decided to incentivise the hiring of migrant nurses by giving hospitals more money (£7,000) if they hired a migrant than a British nurse. I think the cash was meant to compensate for the extra cost of overseas recruitment, but it may have over-compensated, as over 60,000 visas for migrant nurses were issued over the years 2021-23. In total 337,000 work visas were issued in 2023 to people overseas, who brought with them 279,000 dependents.  On student migration, the government introduced the Graduate Visa, giving all international graduates and their dependents an unconditional right to work in the UK for two years after course completion. They chose to ignore the MACs previous advice to be cautious about this because of the potential to create a demand for degrees (especially short Master’s degrees) that was based not just on the value of the qualification but on the subsequent temporary right to work in the UK (note: I was Chair when that report was written so might be biased). The results were predictable – an explosion in student numbers, concentrated in less selective universities, in one-year Master’s course, with more dependents. In 2022 and 2023, over 900,000 student visas were issued together with 275,000 visas for their dependents (for context, in 2019 there were 270,000 visas with 16,000 dependents). Each of these liberalisations to the managed part of migration may have made some sense taken individually but taken together, they added up to a level of migration which meant that the UK’s population grew at the fastest rate in more than a century. So why did this happen when more control had been promised?   Part of the reason may have been the pandemic. Coming out of the pandemic vacancies were very high, the media was full of stories about terrible labour shortages and employers in many countries (not just the UK) used the opportunity to push for more liberal immigration policies. But more than that, I think the UK government at the time was simply incompetent. Within government the usual dynamic is that some departments push (backed by industry lobbies) for more liberal migration policies, and the Home Office pushes back. But some of the home secretaries at the time talked tough about immigration in public but simply did not do the day job. And the Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, was hardly renowned for his attention to detail. So a raft of policies, many now partially or wholly reversed, followed.   But there was one other part of migration that was also rising at this time – asylum claims including those crossing the English Channel in small boats. Asylum claims rose from about 40,000 a year pre-pandemic to 100,000 afterwards. The number of people arriving by small boat crossings rose from 1,800 in 2019 to peak at over 45,000 in 2022 (in 2025 there were 41,000). Although a rise in Channel crossings would likely have occurred even if the UK had stayed in the EU, Brexit probably reduced control over this type of migration. With Brexit, the UK lost access to the Dublin convention on returns (imperfect though it was), cooperation with European countries was no longer automatic, and, perhaps most importantly, the UK lost access to databases about past claims and criminality of those claiming asylum in the UK. Brexit has made the UK an appeals court for some asylum-seekers in the EU whose claims failed – though we lack good data on how many.  And here perhaps is the greatest irony. Brexit ended free movement with the EU giving the UK more control over work, family and student migration even if its government has not chosen to exercise much control at times. But Brexit has given the UK less control over asylum and unauthorised migration, the types of migration that trouble voters the most."
UK. Time to call Brexiteers racist for wanting to reduce white EU migration and ramp up brown and black non-EU migration

I have no Brexit regrets, and nor should you - "So had it all been for nothing? I never once doubted the common sense of the electorate if they were given the facts. Yes, they might think that Brexit had been a failure. But did they really want to return to the EU? Would they embrace free movement once more, including an almost indefinite number of non-European migrants legalised by various EU states? Would they welcome the euro? Would they happily resume paying a budgetary contribution perhaps now amounting to £1,000 per family? Would they allow the EU again to make British laws, and impose damaging restrictions on industry, agriculture and science?  These questions the EU lobbies avoided, but I was quite sure what the public’s answers would be. An opinion poll this month confirmed it: only 27 per cent would be willing to give up rule-making powers in return for greater single-market access. Many people have a stake in Brexit’s failure: nationalists wanting to break up the Union, diehard Rejoiners, culture-war activists portraying British history as hateful, and Labour politicians eager to make Brexit the excuse for the damage done by their own energy and tax policies. They may still manage to tie us to an increasingly troubled EU.  Yet in reality, the anti-Brexit case is increasingly discredited. None of the predictions of disaster made by Project Fear have come true. Even though pro-EU voices and the Labour Government still keep repeating that the economy has been devastated by Brexit, their arguments are not persuasive. Most European countries have suffered similar and sometimes worse problems, and the electorate is seeing this. Total trade with the EU (imports and exports) to a great extent recovered after short-term disruption, and ending the contribution to the EU budget compensates for any overall loss. The UK remains the most popular destination for foreign investment. Our advanced technology sector is third in the world (behind the USA and China) and was recently estimated to be worth more than double that of Germany and three times that of France, hampered by EU restrictions. Predictions that Brexit would make the UK friendless and marginal were disproved by its help to Ukraine, by its rapid negotiation of commercial treaties with the Trans-Pacific Partnership, and by the strategic AUKUS pact. Above all, Brexit has given us back the power, and the obligation, to govern ourselves, just like the Japanese, the New Zealanders, the Swiss, the Norwegians and indeed most peoples in the democratic world. That so many found this a daunting prospect shows how debilitating EU membership had been for our system of government, and also how little confidence Rejoiners have in their own people... Brexit proved that our democratic instinct is still alive."

How Britain can finally make Brexit a success - "The truth is that it is impossible to assess precisely what the impact of Brexit has been because so many other things have been going on at the same time: Covid and the associated lockdowns, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the spike in inflation and interest rates, a major hit to the aerospace and automotive industries; a four year period of uncertainty about whether the UK would eventually leave the EU and on what terms; and a period of acute political uncertainty which culminated in the election of a Labour government for the first time for 14 years.  A simpler guide is provided by looking at how the UK economy has performed relative to its neighbours. It hasn’t done outstandingly well, of course, and this is one in the eye for uber-optimistic Brexiteers who believed that we only had to leave the EU for prosperity to descend upon us like manna from heaven. But equally our performance has been incomparably better than what was envisaged by the Treasury and other uber-pessimists.  Indeed, the UK economy has grown at about the same rate as France, and much faster than Italy, Germany and Japan. Admittedly, in per capita terms, its relative performance comes out a bit worse. But it has still done better than Canada and Germany. In practice, although I reckon that the damage was probably relatively minor, I suspect that Brexit has delivered some sort of blow to UK GDP. After all, we knew that Brexit would make trade with the EU more difficult, with more bureaucracy and delays at the border. Potentially offsetting this, there were gains to be had from free trade agreements (FTAs) with countries around the world, from the saving of contributions to the EU budget, and from a wave of deregulation.  We have been fairly successful in securing FTAs, although their impact is unlikely to be huge. More concretely, we have saved our annual contributions to the EU budget, amounting to about 0.5pc of UK GDP, and this number will increase.  The greatest failure, however, is that we have not deregulated. On the contrary, even under the last Conservative government, never mind the present Labour one, new regulations have continued to spew. One area where being outside the EU has brought regulatory advantage is artificial intelligence (AI)... If current trends persist and the UK continues to be a major force in AI while most of the EU languishes, then all those people currently saying that Brexit was a disaster will have to eat their words."
Left wingers want to regulate AI till it doesn't exist, so good luck

World Economic Forum ‘rigged data’ to make Brexit look like failure - "Klaus Schwab, the face of the Davos conference in Switzerland for years, allegedly intervened in the WEF’s annual Global Competitiveness Report, which ranks countries on productivity and long-term prosperity.  In the 2017/2018 report, the UK’s ranking improved from seventh to fourth after a change in methodology.  But Mr Schwab, 87, wrote to staff that the UK “must not see any improvement”, as otherwise it would be “exploited by the Brexit camp”.  The final report published in 2017 showed the UK had dropped one place to eighth... Allegations that Mr Schwab ordered the figures to be changed were made in an internal WEF investigation, launched after a whistleblower accused him of misusing funds, making suggestive remarks to younger staff, and manipulating research.  Switzerland’s SonntagsZeitung newspaper obtained some of the preliminary findings... During the preparation of the same report, according to the investigation, Mr Schwab allegedly ensured that India did not drop 20 places in the ranking.  He was hoping to convince Narendra Modi, India’s prime minister, to join the conference in the Swiss Alpine ski resort, which is attended by about 60 world leaders every year... The investigation carried out by Homburger, the law firm, also looked into some £836,000 in expenses submitted by Schwab and his wife Hilde. SonntagsZeitung reported the expenses allegedly lacked sufficient links to WEF activities.  It is also alleged Mr Schwab sent suggestive emails and had “embarrassing interactions” with younger WEF staff. The final results of the investigation have not yet been published... Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, told The Telegraph: “Every conspiracy theory about Klaus Schwab now turns out to be true. He is a dangerous globalist manipulator.”  Richard Tice, deputy leader, added: “No surprise the globalist WEF appears to have distorted facts to prevent sovereignty and independence being seen as a good thing. They are a dreadful organisation that Reform will have nothing to do with.” Lord Frost negotiated the Brexit deal that took the UK out of the EU when Boris Johnson was prime minister.  He said: “It’s rare we get such clear direct evidence of the global establishment’s hostility to Brexit. Schwab’s alleged deliberate downgrading of Brexit Britain in his Global Competitiveness Report, directly contrary to the actual evidence, shows how deeply embedded distrust of national independence is, and how determined so many people are to suppress any discussion of its benefits.”  He added: “Labour’s continued denunciation of our trade agreement with the EU, and their refusal to acknowledge that their trade deals with India and the US would have been impossible without it, are the direct descendants of Schwab’s censorship: ideology before evidence, belief before fact.”... The term “Davos Man” was coined 20 years ago by political scientist Samuel P Huntington to describe an elite who “have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past.”"

Starmer to bring back 76 EU laws - "Sir Keir Starmer is set to bring 76 European Union directives back on to the UK statute book as the Government seeks closer alignment to the single market.  The Prime Minister will introduce new legislation in the King’s Speech in May to allow Labour to transfer swathes of European regulation covering the agriculture and food sectors."

Starmer’s ‘Brexit betrayal’ after handing Gibraltar border controls to EU - "Sir Keir Starmer has agreed a Brexit deal that hands control of Gibraltar’s border to the EU.  The Prime Minister was accused of plotting to undo Brexit after negotiations to keep the border with Spain open finally ended after almost four years.  Under the terms of the deal, Spanish border guards will have the final say on whether a UK citizen can enter the British Overseas Territory."

Brexit was not an economic catastrophe. Here’s the proof - "Since 2007, UK productivity has been broadly flat, breaking a more than 200-year history of productivity improving every decade. This catastrophically poor performance is, from the evidence, nothing to do with our membership or otherwise of the EU, and everything to do with poor government policies from 2008.  The Government has damaged our largest and most productive sector, financial services, by increasing taxes and adding layers of onerous regulation. In addition, governments have disincentivised entrepreneurial enterprise and investment with increasingly intrusive regulation, together with a large influx of cheap labour both before and after Brexit. From an economic perspective, both the political and managerial classes have got the EU completely wrong.  The EU is a large, protective trading bloc, erecting high barriers to trade with outsiders by a combination of explicit tariffs and very high regulatory compliance requirements. Until 2020, the UK was an insider, and now we are an outsider."

Brexit causes tumble dryer shortage in Northern Ireland - "Shoppers wanting a tumble dryer in Northern Ireland have been left high and dry after new EU rules restricted what can be sold.  Under the Windsor Framework, Northern Ireland follows hundreds of EU rules that the rest of the UK does not have to abide by.  Laws in Northern Ireland were changed earlier this year to align with the EU’s eco-design and energy labelling regulations, which are meant to make appliances easier to recycle and more green.  That means Northern Irish consumers cannot buy certain types of condenser tumble dryers and will be forced to purchase more energy-efficient models, such as those with a heat pump... Mr Allister said that the Brexit deal was designed “for the purpose of breaking up the UK economy and forming an all-Ireland economy.”"

The UK is now a sectarian state - spiked - "People who blame Brexit for everything assume that everything in the world was going swimmingly until Britain voted to leave the European Union in 2016 – or until we left officially in January 2020. Just as ignorantly, they think the rest of the world has blossomed since then, while the UK alone has been plunged into poverty and financial distress. But things were never fine here, and things everywhere else have continued to get worse. It’s not just that our current problems have plenty to do with Labour’s decision to torpedo the economy with tax hikes – the fortunes of European countries have hardly ever been worse, either. France is in an even more precipitous state of political turmoil than we are, while Germany is experiencing its longest economic slump since 1871. Their respective crises are clearly nothing to do with Brexit, and instead owe far more to the effects of the Covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The bogus conjecture that Brexit is to blame for the UK’s weak economy has its origins in a prediction made in October 2021, when Richard Hughes, then chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility, said that Brexit ‘would reduce our long-run GDP by around four per cent’. That qualified prognostication is still routinely regurgitated as a fact. Only this month, a letter in The Times repeated that ‘as a direct result of our leaving the European Union’ there had been a fall in the United Kingdom’s GDP by four per cent. Not content to spread their own ‘misinformation’, EU diehards and a grasping Labour government are now reduced to quoting prophecies from yesterday’s soothsayers."

Europe is becoming a Remainer fever dream - "Andrej Babiš, squillionaire agri-business tycoon and former prime minister, has clinched a coalition between his ANO movement, the motorists party Motoristé sobě, which translates roughly as Motorists for Themselves (love the name, guys), and the far-Right Freedom and Direct Democracy party. Together they now control 108 seats in the 200 seat lower house.  This is not a simple tyre refit. It is a complete engine replacement for Czech politics. The resulting programme appears to be a blend of screw Ukraine, protect borders, cherish spark plugs, and give the European Commission palpitations. What does this mean for Czechia? Should we even worry? They are, after all, allowed to vote for who they like. And Eastern Europe right now is entitled to look at Western European management of, say, migration, and think: Pfff.  However, this does affect us, deeply. And here’s how: this is yet another EU country shifting further to the Right – but this huge tectonic movement has yet to register on British political radars.  As we all know, ever since June 2016 British politics has been painfully divided between Leavers and Remainers. Generally, the Remainers are on the centre/centre-Left, from Starmer down. Most of them are desperate to rejoin the EU. And they will try soon enough. But what happens when they finally realise that the cosy, social democratic, solar-power-loving EU that we exited has gone, and the hard-Right is in or sharing power in Hungary, Italy, Belgium, Finland, Slovakia, Bulgaria? And they might soon be joined by Germany, France, and others? Put it another way, what will happen to the fey, earnest EU flag wavers at the Last Night of the Proms, when that sweet circle of EU stars has a big nasty imperial eagle in the middle?"

Immigration is to blame for Britain’s productivity woes, not Brexit - "the OBR has been consistent with its analysis of Brexit’s impact since 2016. Imbedded into its forecasts for years has been the suggestion that it would reduce productivity by 4pc and trade intensity by 15pc relative to remaining a EU country. They also believe that most of this productivity impact has already happened. It would take a lot to say they had underestimated this impact in any meaningful way... Business investment is key driver of productivity. And there’s not much in the recent figures to suggest a change is needed, given that business investment rose through 2023 and early 2024 before weakening again.  And the OBR already includes this weaker business investment in its current forecast. They could reduce this still further, but it is hard to see how they can do so because of Brexit when business investment has been low by international standards for a long time.  The truth is that Britain’s productivity problems predate Brexit by years. Productivity growth collapsed after the 2008 financial crisis and has never recovered. There was no sudden or dramatic fall after the 2016 referendum. Instead, we just saw a continuation of the long period of weak productivity growth that has sadly been a defining feature of our economy.  Then there’s immigration. It is this, and not Brexit, that has really confounded things.  High levels of net migration have meant that firms could do without investing in either training or productivity enhancing technology. As such productivity per worker has grown slowly. Brexit hasn’t made that any worse. While workplace investment in training has continued to fall, this decline has been persistent for more than a decade and definitely not caused by Brexit... The OBR has also promised to look at Labour’s Employment Rights Bill next month, something they say will most likely have a “net negative” impact on productivity."

Thread by @admcollingwood on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "We underestimate the power of this. A certain class of Britons -- the sort who Orwell said would feel more embarrassed to stand for the national anthem than to steal from the church poor box -- did not like being or feeling English, but still needed to feel part of something bigger than themselves (man cannot live by bread alone). The EU gave them the opportunity to feel part of a grand and noble project that rose above pretty and abhorrent nationalism, while enjoying a facsimile of patriotism. Given they had always preferred European cultures to English (per Orwell, it was easy enough to do. Brexit took that away. Now, every passport queue is a reminder that they're no longer 'citizens of Europe.' To imagine this pain, think how you'd feel if Britain was conquered and colonised."

The EU is no friend of working people - "[The EU] inflicted crippling austerity on a desperate Greek economy, cutting public services and ruining lives. At the peak of the Greek crisis, more than one in four people were unemployed. And all this was done over the heads of the Greek people, who explicitly voted against the EU’s outrageous bailout terms in 2015, only to have an even worse deal thrust on them by Brussels.  It’s the same EU that limits state aid and the ability of national governments to intervene in their own economies. This ties their hands when trying to rescue failing industries and save livelihoods.  It’s the same EU that repeatedly sides with big business over small firms, putting the fate of millions of workers in the hands of the super-rich.  And, most importantly, it’s the same EU that denies individual countries – and therefore their voters – the right to decide what rights their workers must have. This is where the heart of the problem lies. From the Remainer perspective, it is better for the EU to dictate our working conditions from on high than it is for workers in our own country to determine them for themselves.  Diehard Remainers claim to be protecting the rights of the working class. But, in truth, they do not trust the public to elect the right government. It is in part for this reason that supposed left-wing ‘Eurosceptics’ ended up backing the EU when push came to shove. For them, we could not risk leaving the EU while the Tories were in power. They reduced a generation-defining decision to the question of which party was in power at that particular moment.  These leftish Remainers prefer to outsource important political decisions to Brussels, where they are protected from interference by the masses. In the name of prioritising workers’ rights, they would deny those same workers the right to decide their own political futures. They think they are keeping workers safe from a rapacious Tory government, but they are really just trying to keep them safe from themselves.   This points to one of the key problems with the contemporary left: it sees working-class people as victims rather than agents who are capable of forging their own futures. It offers high spending on public services, but very little that will empower the working class as citizens of a democracy. There is also a strange tendency among Remainers to treat the EU as the source of all goodness. But many of our most valuable rights were not won by the EU, but rather by the determination of the British working class and the labour movement."
