Rather than call time on boys being part of a girls’ organisation - which was never supposed to happen - Guardian columnist Zoe Williams suggests the 'obvious solution' was a name change. 🙄

You can’t simply rename it and carry on as before. Changing that purpose would require formal processes, consultation, and potentially regulatory approval.
In other words - not a quick fix. Not a rebrand.

Olympics to announce transgender ban in all women’s sport. The female category to be returned to females at the Olympics. This must also happen at grass roots & recreational. Sex based protected cannot only be for the top 1% telegraph.co.uk/gift/4166318ea…

@daverich1 So any Jew in Britain can pull any insurance scam they want and it's antisemitic to investigate them?

Green Party proposals to scrap exams show how out of touch they are with the lives of the people they claim to care about. Good results remain the single best way for kids from deprived backgrounds to improve their lots. My @MailOnlineScot column: dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…
