I don't see any foxes complaining. Have I missed something? Or is it a case of someone being offended on behalf of someone/something else. I remember presenter Trish telling off one of her panel for doing this.

Can we please stop including PETA stuff in “woke watch” - they’ve got a deliberate PR strategy of ridiculous stuff like this that has the sole intention of creating a media “lol are they mad?!!” nonsense. They’re also a bunch of c***s

Good morning, campers.

The BBC has revealed the names of the inspiring and influential women on the BBC 100 Women list for 2024. https://www.bbc.com/news/resources/idt- ... er-buttons

And there's some truly remarkable and inspiring women who have been named.

For instance, there's Brigitte Baptiste. Brigitte is a stunning and brave biologist, who explores the common patterns between biodiversity and gender identity. She uses a queer lens to analyse landscapes and species in a bid to expand the notion of "nature" to better protect ecosystems. Something which I'm sure we can all agree is worthwhile.

Here's Brigitte.

Got to love the people who do the “biodiversity and gender identity” stuff.
The entirety of this bloke’s research and “work” can be summarised thusly:
“Some animals change sex. This means that some men are women, but I won’t mention that humans are not one of the animals that can change sex, nor will I mention what constitutes sex change in the animals that can change sex. Also lionesses hunt, so maybe they’re men”

Surely not too different from the multiple common religious goal celebrations like pointing to the sky, or praying to allah or whatever.

Having fun while riding on a sleigh is indeed racist, not sure how anyone could argue otherwise.

I think it was expedient, to be honest. It was a college production and they've got more females than males on the acting course, plus the lead roles have to be shared around the kids so they can be assessed.

That said, it would have caused considerable fume in some quarters. I was more offended by the constant breaking into song and dance. The set was superb, but then it would be since Mrs Spike designed and built it.

Isn’t it more likely to cause fume in some quarters if, say, one were to post the headline that Scrooge is now a woman, and omit the contextual details that somewhat legitimise the decision?

Happy for Mx Scrooge, did any of the three ghosts let them know if discovering their true self would be life saving or not?

Good to see that the MP for Gaza was brave enough to speak up in the Commons and defend our right to f*ck and impregnate our first cousins.
