South Kesteven Council which broadly covers Bourne, Grantham & Stamford debated whether to replace the word Chairman with Presiding Person.

Thankfully it was rejected after the Labour & Independent Members said it would have promoted equality.

Is the World ever going to return to being sensible?

Using the word chair indicates some superiority so that needs stamping on. :roll: :wink:

it all started before covid but has accelerated beyond all comprehension over the last couple of years. as Greyhoundend said that needs to be done and the majority of us should stand up and be counted. doubt it would get much coverage from the MSM especially the bbc.

the words madam chairman has been used since as long as i can remember. think the women who held that position were proud to be voted as chairman in the days when it wasn,t just a box ticking exercise. again the labour party manages to shoot itself in the foot again. when will they realise that a party cannot get into power with the minorities vote without appealing to the majority of us.

For quite some time been I have been outraged by the name of the breed of dog "Doberman". Surely that is blatant misogynism. Obviously "Doberperson" would sound a little silly but perhaps the name could be changed all together in order to avoid causing offense.

If there was a lot of them was it a mass debate?

Talking on Monday to a friend who’s taking flying lessons and for some reason the theory side was mentioned and he asked me about map reading and plotting a course and I said I’ve done if for ships but not aircraft, he then mentioned the phonetic alphabet and said the present Z for Zulu was a problem as some people were complaining it was racist.

1. How?

2. Are some people so lost for something to do they go around looking for things like this to whine about, they should be sectioned.

3. So what about Charlie…India… Juliet…. Mike….Oscar….. Papa….. Romeo….Victor…..Whiskey and worst of all ….Yankee.
Alternately they could be ….Climate… Insulation…Juicing….Muesli….Oilban….Plants…..Rain Forest…..Vegan….Woke and Yoghurt.

Any alternative’s…?

you know why they gave that to a man just to promote their made up facts that other people other than women have periods. we could be seeing similar in football where clubs appoint one as there are a lot of premier league fans give the impression of a lady part that needs a tampax.

Yes this could be tied in with replacing Charlie in the phonetic language with James Hunt as in cockney rhyme.

I do like the comment though that this chap is wearing a blood red t-shirt.

Hope he’s not a ‘Dear Leader’ like North Korea.

Thing is now, if somebody says they’re gay now, people don’t care, it’s just accepted.
But surely when people say that it means you’ve arrived, your as boring as everyone else, so why this emphasis all the time on someone’s sexuality, unless you want everyone on society to approve, which is wishing for the moon I’m afraid.

Early last Saturday morning (2.00am) 2 young Lincolnshire WPC's jumped into the sea at Skegness to save a drowning woman.

Not much said about that though.

I sometimes think the Police cannot do right from wrong in some people's opinion.

not that many years ago if you found out that someone was gay or they told you themselves it was regarded as being so what. now its become a fashion as much as a life choice but the fast majority of the population will not take up the new fashion. seems the whole country embraces minority groups of everything and dare you criticise them, yes at your peril. wonder if nonces will be the next group we,ll have to kneel or dance with and the word nonse or any other derogatory word about em will go the same way as the N word or calling someone a puff or dyke.

That’ll be because the media weren’t interested in it sadly, so won’t have pushed it, whereas these tedious parade poses seem to go down a treat with the media.

it aint news anymore but a slant on it to suit the agenda of the media to brainwash folk. a government or a financial backers play toy. thing is covid showed it worked on the majority.
