if we can all agree that Emma Raducanu :

- is a wonderful tennis player

- is a wonderful example of modern Britishness

- is a beautiful young lady

- is intelligent, charming and erudite.

- is to be respected as an individual

- has finished this chapter by winning a wonderful trophy

I get that minorities shouldn't be forced into things they don't agree with....which I thought was the case for many decades... but likewise shouldn't the majority decide how the majority live?

Instead of the tolerant compromises of the past today seems like you have to agree, agree to be indoctrinated or its condemnation....and lose your job.

well done Palazio - let's not drag this out any more, but Stirls I agree with you, bit of a flashback to the 80s going on, the loony left has returned, but it will subside, like it did b4, when some of the nuttiness was dispensed with but the tolerance remained, Cameron weren't no social conservative was he? And as for the aforementioned inappropriateness, I'm reminded of French and Saunders' impersonation of the two dirty old men, nothing sinister, just a bit naff and ridiculous. So well done Emma, by far the most interesting thing ever to have come out of Bromley.

It’s accepted it was a fantastic achievement from an unknown British girl. What I found very impressive, was her acceptance speech. Obviously well educated, didn’t show any nerves in front of a huge crowd and shown to millions all around the world. I doubt if she would of had any sort of training for that.
Let’s just hope, she remains very grounded and go on to be a role model for youngsters in the UK, rather than the trash on the likes of
Love Island etc.
