surrifox Posted 24 March 2022 Share Posted 24 March 2022 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60861793 only a matter of time before one of these catchpenny schemes went t**s up. Just about the worst value insurance contract you could ever envisage and must spend fortunes on their ubiquitous advertising campaigns. Still good job we've spent millions and millions of pounds on the FCA to keep them honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is easy to throw criticism at anyone who challenges it, but harder to actually explain how it is a good thing that a man who identifies as a woman should have the right to compete in women's sport, impacting women in any number of ways. Do you acknowledge the existence of trans people Jon? It's unclear to me if you are using "man who identifies as a woman" to refer to all transwomen or because you think (cis)male athletes would pretend to be trans to compete as women.

They get to identify as their gender and there’s no controversy around biology and genetics. Seems the most productive way of dealing with it, I don’t think it could be considered transphobic in the same way not having mixed men’s/women’s divisions isn’t sexist?

Countryfox Posted 24 March 2022 Author Share Posted 24 March 2022 Let’s not get too bogged down on what people decide what they want to be and just keep things simple by allowing anyone born one sex can compete against people born the same sex .. I’m not discriminating here .. maybe trans people would actually agree with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 25 March 2022 Share Posted 25 March 2022 this is the guys who replaced all their workers with foreign employees earning less than £2 an hr P&O Ferries: Not consulting on job cuts broke law, boss admits https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60862933 P&O Ferries boss Peter Hebblethwaite has admitted to MPs that a decision to sack 800 workers last week without notice broke the law. He said there was "absolutely no doubt" that under UK employment law the firm was required to consult unions before making the mass cuts. However, he said no union would have accepted the plan and it was easier to compensate workers "in full" instead. The P&O boss also said he would make the same decision again if he had to. what a vile scumbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zear0 Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 Wept. Sure his wife will claim it was just an "entanglement" between the two... Respect to Chris Rock for handling it as he did.

Sampson Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 The joke was pretty low, but no way deserves to be assaulted. Can’t believe Will Smith was allowed to stay and get his Oscar and not get kicked out at best, let alone arrested for assault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, can you imagine if the audience reacted like this to Ricky Gervais 😂 Chris Rock took it well. Comedy is always edgy; I’m assuming Will Smith was having a bad day.

Babylon Posted 28 March 2022 Share Posted 28 March 2022 I mean it's a pretty stupid joke taking the piss out of her hair when he has alopecia... but f****** hell. How can he be allowed to do that and just sit there, not only just sit there but then go and pick up an award. They've both come across as highly unlikeable over the last few years, so far up their own backside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comedy is always edgy; I’m assuming Will Smith was having a bad day. I think Chris was possibly going a little too far. Even when he looked at Jada and was appeared to not be amused he carried on. There was a point where Chris needed to stop and he didn't instead Will had to do it for him. Maybe for Will it would have been better for him and Jada to have just got up and left. Instead of walking up and hitting him one. Edited 28 March 2022 by Leicesterpool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
