Excellent thread! Let’s ignore science, results and fairness and erase women’s sport. No. Let’s not.
Oh FFS.
Faux 'feminists' Bekker & Mumford are trying to get rid of women's sport.
'But if those [fairness & safety] are our chief concerns, then why do we divvy up athletes by gender?'
We don't.
We divvy up by sex.
Because: human sexual dimorphism.

Many underestimate the deep hatred of women by some men. And the contempt from the men who refuse to see it.

Not surprised that most people who protested to safeguard men having access to rooms where women and girls are naked were men. A bit surprised they didn't wear a mask though.

Amendment 40 to the Planning and Infrastructure Bill has been voted down.
Had it passed, it would have meant more precious wildlife would have retained existing protections.

In the next room is an enormous Menhir built into the fabric of the wall too. One pub - two standing stones.

The Government has tabled 67 last-minute amendments to the Planning & Infrastructure Bill.‼️
Rushed through with little scrutiny, it’s a shambolic way to reform the planning system.
It creates confusion, sidelines science and leaves nature dangerously exposed.

When our album Plumb was on the #mercuryprize list in 2012, we were only allocated two seats at the ceremony. Additional seats cost £400+VAT iirc so, just to have Kev and Andrew, our actual band members, at the table with us would have cost more than the entire recording budget for the album.

Private schools will be on holidays by then; but state schools won't be.
Chances of there being a crowd even approaching last year's? Between none and zero, I'd say!
