  1. Is she possibly taking a swipe at Trump for his comments at the NABJ conference ?
  2. Allegations, suppositions, and conjecture presented as fact to the gullible.
  3. But how would you know the facts were FACTS ? How can you trust the MSM or the apparatus of the Deep State ?
  4. SOG; without quoting your entire post, some points in response; I have no objection to 20mph where appropriate, such as schools during term time, but the Welsh approach is far too heavy handed. I know from experience how some posters detect blood in the water and swarm like sharks, but I don't let the issue persist in bothering me. Sometimes grown men feel the need to revert to school playground behaviours, historically this would have been between 14:00 and 18:00 on Saturday afternoons, but the anonymity afforded by the Internet has extended their playtime. They are anonymous keyboard warriors, many miles away, and even if I did bump into them at a match we wouldn't identify as our forum IDs, so wouldn't know any better. Yes, cyclists have to be aware of pedestrians and ride appropriately, that it the Law. However, pedestrians also have a duty of care, both to themselves and others, and should demonstrate a degree of road sense, in particular crossing at the indicated and provided points on the road. I ride according to the road conditions, and never on the pavement, which is illegal, so hopefully present no threat to sensible pedestrians. I have as much right to be doing 24mph on my bike as a car has of doing 30, the problem is people randomly crossing the road who are either oblivious to cyclists at all, or fail to realise that we don't all poodle along at the speed of granny out on her old Raleigh shopper. I agree about electric cars, their lack of noise is as much a danger to cyclists as to foot traffic, as you are much less aware of what is approaching behind you. Hearing is very important to your situational awareness when riding.
  5. This is all getting a bit Professor Higgins;
  6. No ? Fuck ! And there's me with a biology degree.
  7. Nature is not cut and dried when it comes to gender; turtle and alligator eggs hatch male or female young depending on the incubation temperature, some frogs, crabs, and fish can change gender depending on environmental factors. What we do not know in this case is how Khalif presents morphologically, but it can be assumed that she appears to all intents and purposes to be female. There are other biological signals, such as menstruation, that would add weight to an argument, but that is unlikely to ever become public.
  8. https://embryo.asu.edu/pages/biological-sex-and-gender-united-states "A person’s biological sex usually refers to their status as female or male depending on their chromosomes, reproductive organs, and other characteristics. Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA, or molecules that contain the genetic instructions for the development and functioning of all living things. Humans typically have forty-six chromosomes. Two of those are sex chromosomes that contain instructions for the development and functioning of characteristics related to biological sex, such as reproductive organs. There are two kinds of human sex chromosomes, X and Y. Individuals identified as males tend to have one X and one Y chromosome, while those identified as females tend to have two X chromosomes. However, other people are born with other chromosome combinations, such as XXY, that lead them to develop a mix of characteristics. People who fit that description are often referred to as intersex, a category for people whose bodies do not conform with stereotypical expectations of males or females at birth."
  9. No. Someone with XY chromosomes AND the appropriate morphological attributes and genitalia is "biologically" male.
  10. And Farage is making the most of it.
  11. Surely you can't be referring to "the party of law and ordet' ?
  12. Islam does not instruct it's followers to murder 9 year old girls.
  13. Should she be competing as a male athlete ? Presumably, after all the medical tests it has been established that Khalif at least exhibits all the external physical attributes of a female. Would it be appropriate to force her to use male changing rooms and compete as such ? How would male competitors feel ?
  14. Is this therefore a genuine case of a "man" having a cervix ?
  15. They don't consider the facts, they see a bollocks post on SM telling them what they want to hear and are immediately triggered.
  16. A Arma hat trick and 2 for BBD off the bench.
  17. Whichever one you're not on. We have managed plenty of civil wars in our history, all home grown and not directly or indirectly due to radicalised immigrants . Don't be such a hysterical big girl's blouse.
  18. Donnie not happy with today's prisoner swap with Russia;
  19. No, but I suspectr that it might be different because she isn't of Rwandan descent.
  20. What would you do with Lucy Letby's parents ?
  21. Can you sign "Operation Yewtree" ? ( Actually nothing, but anybody appearing on childrens' programs seems to be fair game for the poisonous whisperers ).
  22. Every bloody thread has you posting doom and gloom or predicatble lines of argument. Not every poster that disagrees with you is doing so because they are 'piling on', we are allowed to disagree with you, and possibly poke a little satirical response - a treatment that is not exclusively reserved for you. Lighten up a bit. As for the 20 mph limit, most roads that need them can't realistically be travelled much faster anyway, as they are residential streets with lines of parked cars or other restrictions. 20mph as a blanket limit, "Twenty's plenty", is not a global answer to anything. Traffic calming in appropriate places is far more effective. ( After all, in Wales the enforcement limit is generally 26mph, so what is the point or reducing the limit from 30 ? ). Lancashire County Council have tried to introduce a county wide 20mph policy, barring major trunk routes, and failed miserably. It might slightly reduce RTAs involving pedestrians, but it increases congestion and pollution, dramatically adds to journey times, and makes cycling and horse riding more dangerous because vehicles take 50% longer to pass them at 20 compared to 30, let alone cyclists going faster than motorised vehicles - speed limits don't apply for cyclists on public roads, I can quite easily maintain 24mph on my bike, so traffic travelling at 20 is actually getting in my way.
  23. Did they side with rioters or the victims of racism ?
