It's ridiculous, and all the more confusing after the way they went after the South African semenya in the name of fairness

Similar thoughts to me.
The testosterone is an interesting one though. Still think it’s an unfair advantage myself

Not her fault though.
Remember when oscar pistorius had his fight to be able to compete in the olympics? He met qualifying criteria and they set out conditions in terms of 'fairness ' linked to his running blades.
I've mixed feelings on it.

Still an unfair decision.

Her inclusion is based on a measure of testosterone levels. She meets the criteria so is allowed to compete. Other factors like muscle and bone density that are generally higher in men aren't factors in the decision process.

Transgender New Zealand weightlifter will be now competing in the Olympic Games, Dave Jane says it’s fair, ffs 
Each to their own of course but it obviously won’t be at an advantage over the other female competitors 
Saying that, I’m guessing they have been competing in the shotput for years

Yep, they all sensationalise it to suit their agenda but the mail is so cringeworthy sometimes it’s amusing.
Seen a Scottish player tested positive 3 days after the England match, so that’s at least 23 people that must have it if it’s as infectious as we’re told?
Australia who have apparently done fantastically well with covid have jabbed 3% of the population. AZ vaccine is all that’s available really and it’s only for those over 60 or aboriginals/islanders... basically if you’re no use to us we’re using you as guinea pigs

I just laugh at the way they promote the percentage increase as it is more stunning, up 24% is more grabbing than up by 2,000 of 66,000,000.
We in Swale had 1 case on a day last week and the next day 5. So thats a 4 person increase or infection rate surging and galloping away at 400% increase, what grabs the headline more?
So apparently respiratory infections will increase in the winter, no **** sherlock  I can also predict that winter vomiting bug and colds will increase, along with slips and falls in the freezing weather

Don't take that as a dig, I'm only jesting

That's mainly down to a compliant client media who aren't really pushing this story. When Handjob went before the select committee the other week he was happy to say sCummings hadn't provided any evidence. Papers, BBC, and others all over it. Now he has - it's been pushed nowhere near as much.... as for the other thing Bob, it's Gammonbriton News for me. It has a clear agenda and there is ZERO balance there. Evidence? The way the oz trade deal is being heralded. Harrod's contributes as much to GDP as this does.....

Probably what a lot of what Cummings says is true but he's not being taken as seriously as he would like.
If he's that concerned why didn't he say something at the time, why wait until he quit/sacked, because it's all done in spite and dummy spitting. And from a man who told us he was only testing his eyesight.
Boris is Teflon, It will all blow over in time.
Anyone been watching GB News, what do you reckon? From the little bits I've seen it's not as right wing as I thought it would be, maybe I'm wrong?

So .... in light of Dominic Cummings' whatsapp revelation today, two things spring to mind
1 - how the hell did nobody twig early on that he was a Labour mole sent in to dismantle from the inside. I mean, just look at him!
2 - Regarding the Hancock comments, Boris must be furious. The first time he's actually been in touch with public opinion and he's forced to deny it....

So a 4 week delay is coming because of rising cases! People should stop testing and see what happens.......  
Little or no evidence to back this extra 4 week lock up.......Test events of over 50,000 people not wearing masks or social distancing produced 15 cases.........Complete madness! I refuse to wear ****ing mask anymore!!
