Dear All
This is a old interview from Channel 4 which Jordan Peterson debates Cathy Newman on the gender pay gap, campus protests and postmodernism. If you are looking for a battle of wits, this is classic, get the tea and biscuits out and settle in for a rip roaring 30 minutes of drama.

I note his comment on loud trans. folk and it made we wonder if the present deluge of support they are receiving from Nicola Sturgeon is aimed at placating trans. folk or, in fact, aimed at placating the Green Party at Holyrood in time for a VoNC.
Anyway, just sit back in your chair and absorb all the noise and any criticism that goes with it. If it's their worry, then keep it that way and let them worry. Just the type of advice needed at the moment.
I'm intrigued about these 'malicious prosecutions' that are cropping-up in Scotland all of a sudden.
There was the malicious prosecution of the Duff and Phelps Directors, then Mark Hirst (a critic of the SNP leadership), and possibly Alex Salmond and Craig Murray to come (other critics of the SNP leaedership).
The financial cost of these cases could exceed £100m and the reputational damage for a counbtry like Scotland is considerable.
Most countries would consider this a disgrace. Not so Scotland. Who pays? It does seem to me that no-one pays.
Isn't it also worrying that in Scotland we have to discuss this on a website and that none of our newspapers have the gumption to do it?
It would seen to me that information has been redacted from the Fabiani Inquiry because if it were to be released to the public, then Scots would be asking why Alex Salmond endured a trial where information thought by his legal team to be essential for his defence was withheld by the Scottish Government.
Who was doing that?
Was it some conspiracy between Nicola Sturgeon and James Wolffe to put a man in jail?
What are the consequences for the Nicola Sturgeon and James Wolffe and why should they be able to avoid scrutiny for possible crimes that would attract a long jail term anywhere else in the world?
I can see this ending badly for Nicola Sturgeon and James Wolffe. Their corruption is having serious consequences for people. Newspapers like The Spectator don't give a fuck about Sturgeon and Wolffe and they are re-printing all the evidence that the Scottish public is being denied.
It appears that the Scottish Government is issuing injunctions in Scotland, but not in England where folk will rightly fight back.
And what of our MSP's. Are they still saying: 'Well, if our Lord Advocate is saying that then it must be right. Our Lord Advocate cannot be bent, can he?' Well, I think that they are still saying that....it makes you wonder why we call them parliamentarians, doesn't it. Are they really parliamentarians or are they jumped-up councillors instead?
Anyway, it looks to me as if Peter Murrell is being offered-up as the sacrificial lamb and he will have his throat cut by the incisive Jackie Baillie on Monday.
Will that be enough? Well, it will be enough for Jackie Baillie and Linda Fabiani. Those looking-on from outside Scotland, Andrew Neil for example and Jacob Rees Mogg, will not be satisfied with that, nor should they be.
Something tells me that in 2-3 weeks time, Scottish politics and our delinquent legal profession will be re-set and that will be great news for all of us. We're paying top money for fuck-all here.
Please don't publish this - Back in 2014, a new school was going to be built in Aberdeen; nothing new there; a dozen or more are built each year in Scotland.
The school was to be in a waterlogged bog of a site. Everyone was told to 'be careful' when designing and building this school by Fairhurst, the company of soil experts, based in Aberdeen, who had the job of advising everyone.
The contractor was Ogilvie Construction, a top-ten company who had built many schools before and who had a pretty good record.
Ogilve appointed a Project Manager who had just returned from overseas; he had experience of building schools and experience of difficult ground conditions before.
Fairhurst recommended special foundation, a piled foundation, Ogilvie said that was too expensive and o another solution was found that everyone agreed with and that meant that piles were not required.
The Project Manager went on holiday in July 2014 and others at Ogilvie Construction took over for a couple of weeks.
When the Project Manager returned he discovered that they had carried-out work which meant that the foundation solution would no longer work. He said: 'we'll need to correct that and it will cost a couple of hundred thousand pounds'. It was easier for Ogilvie to just sack the Project Manager and carry-on as if nothing had happened and so that's what they did.
The Project Manager gave Ogilvie Construction a month to sort it out or he was going to report it to Aberdeen City Council. They didn't sort it out and so he reported it to the Council, their legal team Harper Macleod, Hub and to the Scottish Government.
No-one di anything and the school has started to sink into the mud.
Can it be saved? Some say 'yes' and other say 'no'.
Cost of this fuck-up? - £30m
Those that are responsible for this have all kept their jobs or been promoted - Euan Couperwhite, Jonathan Moore of the Scottish Government and Bruce Caldow of Harper Macleod.
There's pressure on them now, but only now after 7-years.
An example of how incestuous the relationship is in Scotland between Holyrood and the legal profession.
Sadly, in this interview, she is the personification here of a chocolate fireguard.
Maybe she's got a better reputation elsewhere, but this is a car crash of an interview for her.
