Ex-A - Is that real? If so it's just a matter of time before it's compulsory, at least for promotion!
As a child, my mum bought freshly-shot rabbit, and indeed we had to watch out for our teeth with the lead shot in the stew. Nowadays the very thought would arouse the ire of many different woke groups.
Some of the pies during the shooting season have to be eaten with a certain amount of care, which is not always easy after a few pints of Wadsworths 6X
That is Cheshire and she is married, to a man even.
Ahh! i see. I shoulda read wot it says on the tin.
I presumed it was the Lesbian murderer of the Brazilian dude wot was responsible for the rainbow nonsense. Prejudice, I guess.
But just because the first minister is married.......

"I have never come out as straight. It is just not a thing. Hold onto that thought – how often do you think about disclosing you are heterosexual?"
Well I have but it doesn't seem to have done any good.
"So we are in the midst of Pride season."
Can I get the exact dates please so I know when to fly the flag?

‘Sexist’ Tiger Who Came To Tea causes rape and harassment, say activists
Charity suggests removing children’s books, such as Judith Kerr’s beloved classic, that reinforce ‘old fashioned’ portrayal of women
By Daniel Sanderson, Scottish Correspondent 23 August 2021 • 6:54pm
The beloved children's book tells the story of a talking tiger who arrives unannounced at a home and consumes all of the food and drink inside
Children’s stories such as The Tiger Who Came to Tea are causing sexual harassment and rape because they reinforce “harmful” gender stereotypes, campaigners have claimed.
Zero Tolerance, an influential Scottish campaign group largely funded by taxpayers, highlighted Judith Kerr’s much-loved 1968 classic as an example of a “problematic” text due to its “old fashioned” portrayal of women and family dynamics.
The group’s co-director claimed on Monday that removing some books which feature gender stereotypes, such as housewives, female nurses or secretaries, from nurseries would be “a small price to pay for the lives of women”.
The Tiger Who Came to Tea, seen as Britain’s best-loved picture book, tells the story of a talking tiger who arrives unannounced at a home and consumes all of the food and drink inside.
Rachel Adamson, co-director of Zero Tolerance, questioned why the tiger was male rather than female or gender-neutral, and highlighted the “old fashioned, stereotypical” ending in which the father comes home from work and “saves the day” by taking his family to a cafe.
She said the book could be used to “raise a conversation” in nurseries and did not necessarily need to be banned.
Do they want to formerly 'female' 'father' to be making tea with the kids while the transitioned 'mother' is out at work?
