Caring about men and boys. Ben Bradley MP gave an excellent speech in the House of Commons, UK on International Men’s Day on the 19th November 2020. He compassionately discusses the negative impact on working class boys in particular and working class men in general, of working class values not being respected, indeed being identified as a phenomenon to ‘rectify’. He touches on a language issue, how  more and more phrases are coming into our language which seem designed to undermines men’s role and confidence.

And also, of course,  there’s a good guy of the week - a post office worker who helped in the process of a young girl giving up her dummy.
