Gender again. Sorry!

"I know it happens in their workplace, they tell you."

Hearsay.

Also Julia "Rivers of blood was alright really wasn't it?" Hayley-Brewer is an absolute melt.

Was this the article they're banging on about?

That's fairly standard CPD stuff, not embedding a "woke" culture.

Graham lineham's new book is getting great reviews. Trans are having melt down

Willoughby, "what's wrong with these people"

They've got a sense of humour and huge dose of common sense

It's been endorsed by some fellow comedians, hardly "great reviews" from normal punters who've read it.

If Richard Ayoade likes it, I'm quite keen to read it.

Richard Ayoade is married to Laurence Fox's sister.

Richard Ayoade is married to Laurence Fox's sister.

And? Siblings are often quite different.

It's a fair point though. And it's not exactly like Ayoade's association with Linehan is exactly a secret. So why bring it up? Is there some Deep State conspiracy afoot here that we don't know about either?

Ayowade has known Linehan for years and owes a lot of his success to him. Presumably he knows Linehan's views on many things other than gender identity and does not judge him solely on that one issue.

I have friends and family with some views that I do not like but I try to take a broader view of them than just that one issue.

From what I can see Linehan is an ar*ehole in the way he puts over his opinions on this issue, but I know little about his views on many other important social or political issues. Possibly Ayoade does.

For some reason I can't edit my post, but by "it" I meant Ayoade's marriage, for clarity.

England's women's sea fishing team have refused to take part due to trans being allowed on their squad.

The last time they won a medal and trans was on their team all the other countries refused to talk to them .

Good on these English women for standing up for female only competition

Always good to watch you guys go off at the deep end.

It's hardly the deep end though is it, wondering what relevance Ayoade marriage to Laurence Fox's sister has to do with, well, anything really.

Spot on. The Firestarter case made clear that you could be a GC feminist but also that there was no carte blanche to do as you like.

JHB etc is part of an attempt to wind the clock back on recognition of minority rights.

If they're allowed to succeed on gender who do we think will be next?
