What on earth are you talking about? Nowhere did I suggest that.

That's exactly what you suggested.

But I am also not in the top 0.1%; these guys will never be poor and will never need to worry about paying their bills, but they are worried about not accumulating even more.

What has being in the top 0.1% got to do with worrying about paying more tax than they are obliged to?

It's beyond idiocy to deport law abiding ones.

Give them a path towards legal status.

If they are in the country without legal status, then they are not law abiding.

They probably ran out of bail money.  Sooner or later, you run out of OPM.

 

Once the police started doing their job instead of bringing them cucumber sandwiches and arresting anyone who became angered by their selfish disruption, they folded pretty quickly.

I'm not sure the likes of Lucia and Cressida ever thought they'd see (or were cut out for) the inside of a jail cell.

Neither Epstein nor Giuffre died mysteriously.

 

They committed suicide. One was in prison, the other lost her children and was going through a divorce. Nothing mysterious at all.

 

Nutcases like Laura Loomer are claiming she got 'offed' don't jump on board with the crazies.

Nothing mysterious about Giuffre's suicide. She'd burnt all her bridges and had nowhere left to go. Karma caught up with her. Sad, but not mysterious. 

Diana's death wasn't really "mysterious" either. She got into the car of a drunk driver and didn't put on a seat belt.

I do think Epstein's "suicide" was shifty though. But that's probably for another thread. 

Just build some Thai style prisons. 50 to a cell. Sleep on the concrete floor. Bread and water twice a day.

We could keep illegal immigrants in there until they can pay for a flight home.

Sex for money is happening all the time in Thailand.

 

What if some girl later said I was raped.

 

(He only give me 500 if he give me 5000 I love him mak mak)

A bit unfair to compare Guiffre to Thai bargirls.

They don't fabricate stories years after the transaction is complete to ruin someone's life.

Aside from the character support/assassination flip-flop posts, the article says she was suffering from 'renal failure' - which I believe is stage 3 or 4 of kidney disease. If treated properly with dialysis, it should have extended her life by five-ten years or so (do we know when 'renal failure' was diagnosed)? If she was heavily overweight or obese (I recall she was just overweight), perhaps this was medically induced suicide. Still - three kids left behind. Sad for them

I'd be wary of the renal failure stories. She was lieing about the "terrible" car crash as recently as a few weeks ago.

To be honest I'm not sure I believe this story either until there is a verified report of her death. Could just be another stunt to get compensation, just like her sex trafficking stories.

#believeallwomen 

Very sad.

Her recent lies about the "4 days to live" traffic accident indicated she had continued serious mental health issues, following the plethora of lies about being trafficked to Prince Andrew.

My thoughts go out to her husband, children and all the other people negatively affected by her severe psychological issues.

, it's clear that the Brexit implemented by Johnson is not in the countries' best interests, so any sensible politician would take steps to rectify the situation.

Unless you export to the US of course. 

But hey, nobody does that right?

I did warn you.

 

It started with Sunak and will continue until the UK retakes its rightful place in the EU.

 

 

 

The EU will be gone within 10 years so they better hurry up.

I’d like to hear more of what you know about this ‘psychological element’ to sport and if you think it differs between men and women.

 

Care to share your knowledge on the matter?

Intelligence, ability to perform under pressure, concentration levels, confidence.

Take away the physical element and men still win. Chess is a good example. 

That's why you ladies need a separate category. Unless of course we get a new sport called gaslighting and getting the last word in an argument. Women could maybe compete in that.

Johnny, you obviously don't know much about F1. There are plenty of slow drivers plodding about at the back of the field on daddy's sponsorship cash. They're not there for their speed.

So there are no daughters of wealthy sponsors? Why aren't they plodding around? Fact is they cannot compete at the very highest level.

And your Ronnie Sullivan analogy is daft. 99% of male snooker professionals can't live with Ronnie. Does that mean they shouldn't be allowed to compete?

I'm saying the best male is far better than the best female. I bet anyone in the men's top 50 would easily beat that woman who made a 147 "in practice". Probably top 100. I remember in tennis the men's number 200 beat Serena Williams easily.

I actually agree with you in part about the designation of non-mixed sports but not for the reasons you quote. My worry is that mixed participation will dilute people's interest, not that women couldn't compete. If The Masters, say, was 50/50 men and women it wouldn't attract the same interest,  rightly or wrongly. That's just the way people are.  

Yes, they want to see the best of the best at The Masters. The creme de la creme. Not shoehorn in some women for the sake of it. If you want to watch women play they have the women's tour. But the standard is nowhere near.

From the OP:

 

“While transgender women can participate in the mass race as females, Brasher reiterated that only those assigned female at birth are eligible for the elite, championship, and good-for-age women’s events.”

 

 

Makes you wonder why he doesn't just do it across the board if he recognizes the unfairness of it at other levels. 

Seems like he is throwing his toys out of the pram. They are quitting X as well.  😆

I know what I mean. 

 

There have been women drivers competing in F1 since the 50s. They have had limited success because it has not been seen as a sport for women, so they haven't had the sponsorship needed but there is no reason why they can't rival the men in the future. 

They can't get sponsorship because they are not fast enough.

Similarly in snooker women compete on an equal basis and a Thai player has recently achieved the highest score of 147. No lack of co-ordination there. 

Impressive for a woman, but that wasn't even in competition.

Jackson Page just made 2 147s in the same match.

Ronnie O'Sullivan has 15 in competitons, including one in just over 5 minutes. 

Not even close to the same level.

I'm curious, are you opposed to biological women competing in men's sports?

 

 

Yes. Allowing women to participate just lowers the standard, it's a gimmick for the Woke lobby to salivate over and opens the door for men to compete in and ultimately dominate Women's sport. The categories exist for a reason and should remain separate.

How about fat people? 150kg+ events

I think Sumo wrestling takes care of that.

Biological females (sic) compete in the professional snooker, probably the sport most dependent on hand-eye co-ordination. 

 

Moreover biological females can compete in F1, without doubt the most physically demanding of all sports with massive G forces. 

 

 

 

Compete?

I think you mean "participate".
