I am so, so angry - at the cheating piece of shit, at the IOC, at the BBC for hiding the facts of the case, at all the men out there defending the indefensible, at the handmaidens simping for them.
Someone make this horrible nightmare go away. Please.

I read this earlier. What an amazing woman. I'm definitely going to watch this when it comes out on Netflix next week.

It's great fun (we had a copy at home - had to rely on the school for Margueritte of Navarre's riposte, The Heptameron, which paints an altogether darker picture, unsurprisingly, because fun sex for men typically didn't end so well for the women).

Or in other words, her great-great-great-great grandmother was almost certainly raped by the plantation owner.

Yeah, I said that this morning.
I want to know which seats Labour won outright and which seats they only took because Reform split the Tory vote. (I know not all Reform voters were ex Tories, but it's going to be a pretty good approximation to first order.)

Well, since she's quite happy to go on the record and defend placing a rapist of children into a women's prison, I don't suppose for an instant she'll have a problem with 6'4" of hulking male forward snapping women's necks in the scrum.

Well I think Labour going with keeping the two child limit on child benefit tells you how they're going to go on pretty much all benefits - they're going to be ruthless bastards across the board.

They're not going to give a straight answer because the course of action they're going to go for is "replace sex with gender identity throughout all legislation - but don't tell the plebs you're doing it upfront."
