Yes, since you ask, I am also intolerant of these culture warriors like the raving loonies pictured on this thread calling for decapitation of people with different views.

No, but just because I'm not involved with women's sport doesn't mean I don't need to care if it's ruined by unfair competition.

Since you ask, I am intolerant of people who want women's sports to be opened up to let in biological males, and I am intolerant of those who say that gender and sex are entirely different things before complaining that gender and sex should not have different rules. I am also intolerant of...

The problem is that the small number of people who are affected because they have dysphoria are being swamped by the larger number who want to believe that any male can become female just by saying so. If the latter group, who have demands that many of us find impossible to tolerate, would shut...

The bigger problem isn't down to recognition of the difference between gender and biological sex. It's down to what the laws and customs should be in respect to both. As I see it, there are two logical possibilities to this conundrum - I make no comment as to which is right. 1. That there is...

Dividends are taxed at a lower rate (because they are out of taxed income, as above) but rental profits are taxed at the same rate as earned income. On £64,747, the income tax due would be nothing on the first £12,570, then 20% on the next £37,700, and 40% on the rest - total £13,323 by my...

The reason dividends have always been taxed at lower rates than earned income is because dividends are paid out of profits which have already been taxed. If a limited company pays its director £1m salary, it pays £250k less tax because salary is a deductible expense from profit. The director...

I haven't got 15 minutes to listen to him, so can anyone explain how (to the Britain's richest billionaires for example) if the Hinduja brothers leave the country, how can we tax their holdings in overseas companies? I get that we can tax companies that are on the London Stock Exchange for as...

Perhaps if everyone collected forty or fifty random pointless cards and kept them in their wallet - with the actual credit card somewhere else - the stewards would get the message? (For added mischief making, a few hundred people could report missing credit cards after the search, only to...

Why would you bother to read a reply to a post that you haven't even read? I said, quote, "Ten years ago, if someone came into a women's changing room and exposed his (or her) penis at the women in there, he would have been removed and probably arrested. Now if he (or she) exposes his penis to...

There's no logic to whether bottle tops are allowed. For example, Burnley allow bottle tops, Accrington Stanley don't.

The men in women's sports should never have been an issue and shouldn't be an issue going forward. All but the most fanatical recognise that there are still essentially two sexes, which used to be called male and female. The change of definition of the words male and female has not changed...

The number of times up to now that a predatory man has taken advantage of his right to enter women's toilets, is few. Because he hasn't had that right, obviously. How many would take advantage of it if it became an unchallengeable right, I don't know. But giving them that right would...

Under the rules as they have been for donkey's years, if a woman or girl were to walk into the women's toilets and a predatory male were to follow her in, then she or any person outside the toilets could tell the bloke to sling his hook. He would have self-identified as a weirdo and possibly a...

It could indeed. Cases like the patient referred to earlier complaining because the nurse fitting him with a male catheter calling him a man - that's the sort of thing you have in mind? Also the ones who insist that a simple declaration of femaleness should be enough to enable a (traditionally...
