THE BBC runs a contention called “Women’s Footballer of the Year”.
In drafting up a shortlist, they person 1 job. And that’s to prime a pistillate who plays football.
Doesn’t dependable terribly onerous, does it? Plenty of women astir who play football, aren’t there?
But the BBC couldn’t rather negociate that task. Because connected the shortlist was the Zambian subordinate Barbra Banda.
Barbra surely plays football. And erstwhile up against women, is alternatively good. Trouble is, Babs ain’t what you oregon I would telephone a woman.
Instead, Babs is alternatively person to what you oregon I would telephone a bloke.

Banda plays for the Zambian nationalist team. However, the subordinate was withdrawn from the 2022 African Cup of Nations. Because it was claimed she — oregon possibly much decently helium — did not conscionable the sex verification criteria.
There are tons of things which mightiness beryllium liable for that, specified arsenic having antheral levels of testosterone. Or mostly having a antheral physique.
But the BBC was blessed to fto Banda beryllium named Women’s Footballer of the Year. Probably, knowing the BBC, adjacent happier than if Barbra had really been a, you know, young lady.
They similar to marque a progressive governmental constituent astatine the BBC.
Needless to accidental determination were howls of outrage from wrong the game. And plentifulness much extracurricular it.
Largely from women who judge that it’s lone just to fto women vie against different women. Rather than against men who are calved stronger and faster.
Harry Potter writer JK Rowling, for example, had this to say: “Presumably the BBC decided this was much clip businesslike than going doorway to doorway to spit straight successful women’s faces.”
Ouch! But she’s right, isn’t she? Because the enactment of Banda is an insult not lone to women footballers, but to each women.
Deranged argument
Right present women’s athletics is successful an implicit situation — each due to the fact that of the counter-rational and genuinely idiotic insistence that blokes who accidental they are women but are really men should beryllium allowed to vie against women.
It’s taken years for women’s athletics to beryllium taken arsenic earnestly arsenic men’s sport. And now, suddenly, conscionable arsenic women’s shot has truly taken off, conjecture what?
The men-women radical are inveigling their mode in.
It’s not conscionable football, of course. A caller United Nations study suggested that transgender athletes person taken a full of 900 medals distant from existent women crossed 29 antithetic sporting disciplines.
That’s kinda shocking. And remember, this study was from the UN which is astir arsenic progressive arsenic it gets.
I thought this conflict was good connected the mode to being won. More and much sports bodies are outlawing transgender competitors having antecedently allowed this fraud.
Everywhere, the deranged statement that insists blokes who accidental they are women truly are women is successful accelerated retreat.
Common consciousness has been allowed backmost into the argument.
But not astatine the BBC, of course. They are determined to transportation connected flying the banner for a origin which adjacent immoderate of the transgender activists person fixed up on.
One day, not excessively acold down the line, this past decennary volition beryllium regarded arsenic being truly very, precise odd.
The obsession with sex politics. The wide determination not to let sanity to person its say.
But erstwhile Barbra picks up the award, 90 per cent of those watching volition cognize the truth. That the grant should truly person gone to a WOMAN.
ALERTS OFTEN HOT AIR
WHY did Storm Bert origin truthful overmuch harm to the country?
Hundreds and hundreds of homes underwater. Communities evacuated.
There person been complaints that determination were not capable aboriginal warnings.
But the Met Office said: “Storm Bert was good forecast, 48 hours successful advance, with a fig of warnings successful spot up of the strategy reaching the UK.”
So what went wrong, then? Here’s my guess. It’s astir the lad who cried wolf.
You cognize the story. EVERY weather beforehand which approaches the UK gets the aforesaid treatment. With the forecasters shrieking astatine america “STAY INSIDE!”
In lawsuit we are burnt to death. Or drown. Or person our testicles frozen disconnected successful a snowstorm. And 9 times retired of 10 there’s nary occupation astatine all.
So erstwhile they warned america astir Bert, we conscionable thought: “Yeah, yeah. Same ol’ aforesaid ol’.”
CUT PEP LOOKS HELLISH
WHAT the hellhole has happened to Pep Guardiola?
He looks similar he’s conscionable done 10 rounds with a Tasmanian devil. Scratches and gouges each implicit his look and head.
Manchester City mislaid 5 games connected the trot. And Pep made a remark astir self-harming.
The astir apt mentation is that Pep was acceptable upon by furious Satanic imps due to the fact that helium had reneged connected a woody with their boss.
I can’t beryllium it, it’s conscionable a guess.

We cognize who the perpetrators are. Here, conscionable arsenic successful France and Belgium and Germany.
But for immoderate crushed we’re frightened to telephone it out.
It’s clip we started telling the information astir these horrible racist attacks.
