I think “don’t wear huge fake boobs to work” is just one of those expectations that up to now has seemed so obvious nobody has ever thought to actually spell it out
I’ve now been contacted by numerous people about the ‘Boob Man of Oxford’.
Those who work or study at Oxford have asked for anonymity, so I can’t share identifying details. But some common themes have emerged:
- Unsurprisingly, women describe feeling uncomfortable about a male lecturer wearing what appear to be oversized prosthetic breasts in their place of work or study
- Some question whether there is a sexual element or whether it is a ‘power play’. These are their concerns, rather than established explanations for his behaviour - but are legitimate concerns nonetheless
- They say they’re afraid to raise concerns because he is surrounded by ‘allies’, including staff, who defend his appearance as 'self-expression'
One source has even wondered whether this is an elaborate stunt to embarrass the university - along the lines of Josh Seiter, who pretended to be a trans woman as an 'experiment'. Another source says this has been going on for three years - which does seem a long time to keep up the act.
There is interest in covering this in the mainstream press. What would help now is more documentary evidence: complaint letters, responses or correspondence showing how concerns have been handled.
My inbox is open: [email protected]. Happy to have a confidential chat about any aspect of this. All messages treated in confidence.
Irrespective of the data set, you're quibbling about it being either x20 or x8.
Is this really an argument you wish to make?
Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, claims that Afghans are over 20 times more likely to commit sex crimes than Britons in England and Wales. Our analysis suggests this is a wild exaggeration. But the numbers are hardly reassuring bit.ly/3WcGV3r

Best anecdote in Carol Thatcher's book about her father is when Sir Denis boarded a train at Paddington in which the only empty compartment was reserved for Rosewood Psychiatric Hospital.
Denis travelled alone and in comfort as far as Reading when "all these chaps piled in", accompanied by a male nurse, who counted them before the train moved off.
'One, two, three, four ... who are you?"
"I'm the Prime Minister's husband."
"Six, seven, eight, nine..."
They did the meme. Again.

I mean why bother vetting for a job like National Security Advisor?
Jonathan Powell was not vetted before being appointed National Security Adviser, we can report.

Cette romantisation obsessionnelle de la criminalité m’écœure. Cette manie de trouver à chaque crime une excuse sociologique, comme si la misère conférait au criminel une quelconque noblesse, relève d’une véritable complaisance morale. C’est vraiment un fléau universel.

The Iranian govt has executed over 2,000 people in the past 12 months and 9 of them were public (this does not include the tens of thousands of young people murdered for daring to protest).
As far as I can see, the highly principled Jeremy Corbyn couldn’t bring himself to protest or even complain about a single one of them.
Televising a public execution is beyond disgusting and barbaric. The death penalty should not exist, let alone be a live-streamed spectacle.
This is a grotesque violation of human dignity. We must oppose this - and the death penalty - everywhere.
