Don't get out much these days. 9th decad, 2nd wave. Conducted 100s of funerals. Owe a lot to the NHS. Part-time cloud-spotter. Dendrophile. Suffolk 🇬🇧. Excuse typos.

That there was an excess of reporting on Farage and Reform, most of it unimportant.
They're certainly very effective attention-seekers, but boring.

Promotion is an activity that supports or encourages something.
The BBC has no reason to do that for Reform.
Yes, they got too much airtime, but I don't believe it did them much good.
It seems to have diminished.
I wrote and complained about it.
Did you?

You've failed to deal with the issue of fairness, not to mention cheating.
True hermaphrodites, like earthworms, can mate and reproduce with each other.
No mammals, including humans, can do this. It would mean having both eggs and sperm.
Some people may have mixed up tissue, but that's all.
Goodbye!

In tennis they play mixed doubles, that's one man and one woman on each side of the net. Is that what you were thinking of?
Then there's shooting, darts, chess, motor racing or rallying, husky racing, fishing, or anything where skill, not size or strength, is what matters.

I'm bored with this.

Since male athletes started calling themselves women they've been swimming, cycling, running playing team games as fake women. Some associations are putting a stop to that, such as in rugby. When these men competed with other men they were mediocre.
There's no such thing as a human hermaphrodite.

I don't see it that way. He and the stories about useless Reform councillors have served to raise awareness of his egotism and stupidity. It was heartening to see the audience's reaction to a Reform MP on Question Time the other week. He definitely wasn't popular.
And the Welsh rejected them.

The US constitution isn't relevant to fairness in sport and athletics.
Sex segregation is fair because men are stronger.
We're either male or female, irrespective of genetic errors affecting sexual development.
The most distinct difference is in the shape and size of the pelvis.

I did, sorry.

Yes, I know.

If and when the myth is destroyed, a lot of people will hope that others will forget that they were taken in, but that won't be possible for the young people who've been mentally and physically damaged by it, or for the parents who've agreed to it.
The BBC should be myth-busting.

I'm old and independent, no career or reputation to worry about, but activists have tried to shut me up, even to have me arrested for "hate speech". Doxxing, death threats, abuse, are bound to discourage dissent.
It's amazing that Emma Barnes got away with her Newsnight report, but she left the BBC.

Thanks for that.
As Maya pointed out in her GB News encounter with Tatchell, Sex Matters research shows that transgenderism isn't understood. That's no excuse for BBC staff though. They may have had "training" from Stonewall, which is essentially indoctrination, and even been "Champions".

Early days, perhaps?
Hoping the new DG and News CEO will have a list.

When I tead "DG" I think of Terry Wogan's teasing.
