It also did not broadcast US gymnast Simone Biles’ bronze-medal winning routine live on BBC1 this morning in favor of track cycling, choosing to show the event on its iPlayer and red button services.

I just got 30 days in FB jail for pointing out the obvious.
I posted the skit from the script THE LIFE OF BRIAN in which Stan wants to become Loretta and have babies.

I also posted a link to the You tube web site. Took them thirty days to catch me!

And here we see a group of relevant authorities, ready to take immediate action against those hateful free-thinkers.

Is that what they’re doing in England? The BBC will ‘report’ anyone who utters a discouraging word about this mad game of Make Believe? Who are they going to tattle to?
Boris? He’s kinda busy right now.

If someone could kindly send this to the BBC: If a human is born with a penis and testicles, he can't legitimately compete in ANYTHING as a woman. If such is his desire, he can report himself to the authorities as a predator or to a psychiatrist as mentally ill. These are the only two options.

It’s astounding that any media company in the western world would go down this path…

Trans activists are secretly relieved that this person crashed and burned. They need more time to soften the opposition before they go in to really take over women’s sports.

Let me get this straight: the trans-woman failed in the Olympics because she couldn’t present a proper snatch??

“Listen to this or you will be reported to the authorities” - of couse, the BBC is taxpayer funded.

Well, well. What to do?
