The fastest female, 100-meter sprinter in recorded history is American legend Florence Griffith Joyner. She set the world record of 10.49 seconds on July 16, 1988.
In 2026, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat this record! You read that correctly. In this year alone, there were over 1000 high school boys that beat the record of fastest woman in the world ever!
If just one of those boys, or a meager 1/10 of 1%, decided to compete as a woman, he would crush the women’s world record!
I’m not talking about a high school record or a college record or even an Olympic or professional record. I’m talking about the women’s world record that has held since 1988!
Remind me again, why you’re not supportive of women’s rights.
@ralpha060461 I’m yet to experience that pleasure!
My daughter moved in last year and I spent most of the winter servicing/replacing part for her oil heating! Hate it when people move out saying we haven’t used it for a while and you soon discover why!
I wonder what the situation is like in other countries? Is the UK an outlier in water management? @ChrisMartzWX it would be interesting to hear what the US water management system is like.
One of the wettest winters. Drought by summer. What went wrong?
UK winter rainfall was 13% above average. Yet half of England and all of Wales are now in drought.
Over the past 30 years:
📈 UK population up 11.5 million
💧 No major new reservoir completed in England
💷 Average water bills up around 33% in two years
🚰 Nearly one litre in five lost through leaks
More people. Higher bills. Where was the infrastructure?
What has failed most: the weather, the water companies or government planning?
@afneil The thought that saving for my families future, not spunking money away on flashy cars and holidays, is now seen as a “bad thing” by the left is extremely worrying.
@DerekLary@w_bravel I hope so but I am a little worried that we have another “elite” manager with a dressing room full of large egos and owners who stroke those egos more than support the manager!
@bulkbiker@davidfrum Can David define “Covid death”?
There is a general trend that Trump voters are older and would therefore be more likely to die of natural causes.
@bulkbiker@TheGNPE Apparently Andy did not lie when he said he called a roll a bap. (It is of course a roll so may be that is a lie in itself?) Apart from that I cannot think of anything else.
@ArchRose90 It is actually quite worrying. Seeing Labour almost achieve 50% in the 1st pass and then having a huge win in the 2nd does not bode well for any of us. The “me ma & pa vote Labour, me grandma & pa vote Labour so I vote Labour” mentality has not been broken by Starmer!
Did you ever think you'd see misogyny elevated to a virtue and the subject of a civil rights campaign? Did you ever think you would see women's rights denigrated as the pursuit of "fascists," "bigots," and the "right wing"?
Welcome to trans ideology.
As we hear that BP is quitting the North Sea, let's reflect on how much effect Britain's NetZero 'Leadership' has had on the world!
Use carbon emissions as our measure..
In 18 years since Miliband stood on his NetZero soapbox, UK emissions have fallen by 234 million tonnes.
And world emissions overall have risen by 6,550 million tonnes
That's 28 times as much
I see no 'leadership'. Just economic suicide
@bulkbiker@NadiaWhittomeMP Isn’t it funny that the “climate crisis” mob seem to be implying we have tipped over the precipice of the crisis and are now into the “oh shit it’s here” phase.
If true we’re past “net zero” and into remedial “adapt and survive” mode, ie build reservoirs, stop arsonists, etc.
@ChrisMartzWX If it were true then it would mean we’ve tipped over the precipice of the “climate crisis” and should be taking remedial action ie building resovoirs, installing fire breaks, etc. The Net Zero hysteria should be over if he/she/it is correct!
