Brilliant! Woman’s Hour is not about women anymore. Not since Jenni Murray & Jane Garvey left and who can blame them. Maya’s tweeted response to WH was brilliant too.

True story: My wife worked for the BBC on Parliament today as a script writer. Her scripts were often sent to and used by news24 and parliament today. Even back then I used to complain to her about the bias of the BBC (we're talking about circa 1997 to 2005 or 6) She has had scripts approved by woman's hour in the past. She no longer works for the BBC since about 2008 except freelance, but I honestly cannot stand hearing the BBC news. I even bought her some blue-tooth headphones so she can hear it but I cant. The fact is I'm one of those people who will get very upset if people such as Andrew Marr, a giant traitor, in my opinion (along with his producer), and ex-communist, are failing to ask the right questions, showing their negative communist bias. I would fly into a rage at times about the BBC. She seemed to think I was the one who was nuts, but then I asked her these simple questions: If the agenda of the BBC and all news media isnt biased how come all the news channels report on the same stories using the same biased language and the same traitorous inferences to imply the majority are somehow against British values? How come I'm wrong and the BBC is against me and always right when I know they are nothing but traitorous in their censorship of certain viewpoints. When did it become acceptable for newsreaders to air their views rather than report unbiased news? Even to this day she will not accept all my arguments but every year she at least gets a better quality set of headphones from me at christmas. I know well how the BBC operates and it really is worse than most people fear

I like this reply to @MForstater :

Zach Elliott @zaelefty

Excellent piece on the denial of biological sex by @nathankw

."If anyone ever finds a third sex it would be a discovery on a par with finding a new continent — with a guaranteed Nobel prize. Until you see those headlines, you can rest assured there are exactly two sexes."

Constantly amazed how existing law in place for women and children safeguarding and support are completely ignored as though they don’t exist or need enforcing. Obfuscation by denying reality or that sex and vulnerabilities such as childhood needs exist are just next level insanity. What won’t these men do and do for one another? Outright lawlessness and lack any boundaries, cowardice and enabling all hidden by censorious patriarchs and keeping women as second class citizens with no ability to access their legal and human rights just keeps on shocking. There’s no doubt this nasty, ignorant and disrespectful male imperative to be centred in all things and above all others, including gender quackery, is institutionalised. Justice, transparency and equality for women and children is miles away. Good luck for next week it’s obviously a worthy and interesting case meanwhile the basics in the Justice system and safeguarding for working class women and children (here at least) just isn’t occurring. It’s simply still easier to erase, silence, neglect and oppress rather than enforce law or resource women and children adequately. Disheartening this movement is necessary to simply prove women as a class actually exist.

I just found this site if anyone wants to challenge their rating of BBC as center, click on "disagree" then it will give you little blocks to rate it far left/left leaning/center/right leaning/ far right.... I think this is a cool site cause you can search an issue and it gives left/right/ and center views on the same issue, anyway, link:
