What's wrong with this article: "Period poverty: Schools urged to order free menstrual products" I have no problem with schools providing this so what's the issue? Here's a clue the words: Children, Child, Student,Pupils, young people. Yup not once in this article do the words girl or woman or some variation of that appear. Give me strength.

If you are writing about a subject that pertains to girls menstruation it is quite an achievement somehow not to mention the words girls or females. It's a woke article desperate not to offend the TG community on a serious subject. Never mind I guess we are all becoming de-sensitised to political correctness that we no longer notice it.

Regardless of my feelings about the BBC I do find it strange that last week Lord Hall announced that 3/4 of the BBC jobs will be moved outside of London and now he retires. I would have thought that if you are leaving making a major strategic decision like that should be left to your successor it's a bit unfair if that person disagrees with it.

That this prat has been made a lord is a sick joke. If should give up the privilege to one of his 'diversity' hires.
