The British policing system is increasingly seen as broken — caught between ideological pressures, a hostile media, disengaged politicians, and internal dysfunction.

With Dr. Rachel Taylor (Part 2)
The Black Spy Podcast, Season 20, Episode 0002
In this week's, episode 2, of The Black Spy Podcast, regarding the male menopause Dr. Rachel Taylor and Carlton King delve into this often-overlooked subject of the male menopause, or andropause.
As with last week the two explain why their forthcoming book on the issue, should be read by all men and their life partners as the male of our species reaches their 4 decade.
Their book highlights how the Andropause, characterized by a gradual decline in testosterone levels, can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, reduced libido, and cognitive changes. However, despite its significant impact on men's health, male menopause remains under-discussed in both media and society. While female menopause has garnered increasing attention and support, including workplace policies and public health initiatives, the male menopause is frequently dismissed or misunderstood.
The podcast discusses how this disparity may stem from societal expectations that men should remain stoic and unaffected by aging, leading many to suffer in silence.
In these episodes Dr Rachel and Carlton go on to discuss that the implications of unaddressed male menopause are particularly concerning when considering elderly male leaders in positions of power. Symptoms such as impaired decision-making, irritability, and decreased energy levels can affect leadership capabilities, potentially leading to detrimental outcomes in governance and policy-making. The gradual nature of testosterone decline means these changes can go unnoticed, further exacerbating the issue.
Dr. Taylor and King emphasize the need for increased awareness and open dialogue about male menopause. They advocate for comprehensive research and support systems to address this condition, highlighting the importance of recognizing andropause as a legitimate health concern.
By shedding light on this topic, their book and these episodes call for a reevaluation of how society perceives and supports men's health as they age.
In summary, The Black Spy Podcast brings critical attention to issues of the male menopause, challenging societal norms and advocating for greater recognition and support for aging men. The discussion underscores the potential risks of neglecting this issue, particularly among leaders, and calls for a more inclusive approach to health and aging.
