Glad to hear cricket has woken up a bit, shame they haven’t protected the non pro women’s game
Beyond their remit?
Possibly, but a lot of the regulations and guidelines do end up drifting downwards to the community game. I suspect the ICC decision will make the conversations easier.
Yeah, that's what I'm hoping but I was just pointing out that perhaps it is more a case of influencing rather than having complete sanction over the grass roots level, which must be helluva different in all the various cricket playing countries. Sadly this takes time which may come too late for many women.
Agreed. At least now any 'but you're blocking my path to the White Ferns! ' argument is taken out of play if we have to make any local level calls...

It's been in the works for a while. The EHRC Chair was installed by Liz Truss from. and is Badenoch's puppet
Should be interesting to watch this play out

The same UN that's yet to condemn Hamas? Does anyone give a flying fuck what the UN thinks?

The grown ups have entered the conversation in parliament today. Kemi Badenoch has been brilliant at the Despatch Box today, crystal clear, picked up the key issues, dealt brilliantly with questions. A good summary below:

@Dodge She's doing extremely well. Another example:

I love that.
I find it amazing that someone would make that statement and not know the occasion on which it was said.

Loved the "I'm not gay, but I want to marry Kemi." comment from a woman in the tweet replies

Great first comment on YouTube.
"So, just to be clear, it's unparliamentary to call someone a liar, but not unparliamentary to tell lies? The mind boggles!"
These are just a talking shop and a colossal waste of time and MONEY.

MP's can lie with impunity in the HoC with zero fear of libel and do so.
Remember the "Matt Hancock handed his Pub landlord a multi-million pound PPE Deal after secret WhatsApp messages" stories a few years back? Was exposed as as complete lie and made up story yet was repeatedly stated as fact in Parliament by Opposition MP's.

Speaking of brass, watch the last minute and a bit. Also notice how Rayner puts her face-mask on when she's caught out.

as much as i think the situation is ridiculous and applaud the women who've boycotted his team, the reality is that he has a point - the FA has created this situation by creating ridiculous rules that suggest there are situations in which men can play in women's football, and in his view, he's met those criteria. We should be shouting at the FA in this situation.
Does he/she have a point? People shouldn't be forced to play a game if they don't want to

You make some wild assumptions at times

Stumbled across this in my interwebbing while looking for gardening audio.
Petitions are addressed to the House of Representatives and ask that the House do something about a policy or law, or put right a local or private concern.
Not sure she presents her case as well as she could, but maybe it's a chance to do something more tangible about the creep of this idiocy than just whinge on here.
Any other literal Hitlers out there?
