Since it’s only a fun run, why are men so keen on cheating by entering the women’s category? It’s just a bit of fun.

I’ll say this again very slowly for those struggling to read English. I want everyone to do sport, & be welcome, but I want female sports categories, which are affected by biological sex advantages to be sex based categories. Or in the case of fun runs if no element of competition, remove all categories & places. Nothing more nothing less. Not rocket science, not exclusionary, unless you count the over 1000 medals lost in major events so far, won by males in sport for women of course!





BREAKING: Enoch Burke to face THIRD Disciplinary Appeal Panel after High Court refuses to halt proceedings Teacher Enoch Burke has spent over 650 days in prison after refusing to refer to a male student using the “they” pronoun. On Wednesday of this week Enoch Burke sought an extension of time from the Court of Appeal to appeal the judgment of Judge Alexander Owens in 2023 upholding his suspension. This application follows serious developments in recent days, including a Department of Education statement issued in January this year that there is “no legal obligation” on schools to use “preferred pronouns” of students. In particular the Court of Appeal must address the issue of whether the instruction by Principal Niamh McShane to use the “they” pronoun for a male student was lawful. Today High Court Judge Micheal O’Connell (appointed in 2026) refused to grant an injunction restraining the Disciplinary Appeal Panel proceedings pending the outcome of the Court of Appeal case. Enoch Burke must now go before this panel while the key issue of his case — whether the instruction of Principal Niamh McShane to use the “they” pronoun for a male student was lawful — has not been ruled upon by the Court of Appeal. This is a travesty of justice.




BREAKING: Shocking scenes as Enoch Burke denied justice and forced out of Appeal Hearing by prison officers Enoch Burke’s mother Martina Burke and brother Dr Isaac Burke were also removed by police. At the start of the Disciplinary Appeal Panel hearing, which is by law an “informal” hearing, Enoch Burke objected to the presence of a top Employment Barrister as well as a Solicitor from a major Dublin law firm. Despite Enoch Burke’s repeated objections, the Chair of the Disciplinary Appeals Panel, Claire Callanan said to Mr Burke: “We may be wrong and you may be right but we are going ahead nonetheless.” Barrister Barra Faughnan BL and Solicitor Fiona Sheil of Mason Hayes & Curran Solicitors were acting for Wilson’s Hospital School at the hearing in Athlone today. The presence of lawyers at such an appeal is contrary to settled law and Department of Education procedures for dealing with appeals. Enoch Burke has now spent over 650 days behind bars after refusing to use they/them pronouns for a student. These are the third Disciplinary Appeal Panel proceedings in relation to Enoch Burke that have ended in shambles.

Just changed my gender on parkrun to female for the craic because @sharrond62 and her tin hat group hate it



I wrote this in @thetimes in 2022: “Rarely in politics is it easy to draw a direct line from a single policy decision to the harm it’s done, but in this case, it will be simple. If any woman or girl suffers voyeurism, sexual harassment, assault or rape in consequence of the Scottish government’s lax new rules, the blame will rest squarely with those at Holyrood who ignored safeguarding experts and women’s campaigners.” We knew women and girls were being placed in danger, we knew the Scottish government was planning to introduce measures that would make those dangers more acute, but women trying to make the government listen to their well-evidenced concerns were described by Sturgeon in her turgid memoir as ‘hysterical.’ thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…


There is one London borough that will be particularly painful to lose to the Greens for generations of politicians around Sir Keir Starmer This is how Labour's “Lambeth mafia” are bracing for defeat to the left twenty years on from a much-mythologised win
