Female athletes must pay Β£185 to prove their sex Matt Lawton - Chief Sports Correspondent British female track and field athletes are being asked to pay Β£185 for a sex test if they want to compete internationally. World Athletics requires all athletes to take an SRY gene test before competing in the female category at major championships and Diamond League events to guarantee fair competition by excluding trans and DSD (differences of sex development) competitors. Before the World Championships in Tokyo last September, World Athletics gave $100 per test for the thousand or so female athletes needing one. More money will be provided by the international federation for this yearβs World Junior Championships. But British women have been advised by UK Athletics (UKA) to pay for the test themselves, urging them to have the cheek swab, which indicates the presence of a Y chromosome, βas soon as possible to avoid delays around selectionβ. However, some women have complained it is unfair when the test is not required for men. UKA has a hardship fund to pay for the test and will assess requests on a case-by-case basis. But the situation is symptomatic of a national federation already facing financial challenges, made worse by UK Sport cutting its funding for this Olympic cycle. While almost Β£32 million was given to the relatively niche sports that won five medals at last monthβs Winter Olympics, athletics has had its funding cut from Β£22.18 million to Β£20.45 million despite winning ten medals in 2024. It was only last year UKA returned to some form of financial stability, posting a profit of Β£107,588. But it is now facing a big fine after admitting corporate manslaughter over the death of Abdullah Hayayei, who died in 2017 after a metal cage fell on him while he was training for the World Para Athletics Championships in London.
"Feminism" [Times]
It looks like the Iranians have bombed RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus.
An hour after Kier Starmer said he would let Amerikkka use our air bases.
Did we learn NOTHING from the previous Gulf Wars?
Trump must be killed.
Starmer needs to be arrested.
Polanski needs to be PM.
EVERY LABOUR VOTER CAUSED THIS.
Normalise insulting in Elizabethan English.
"Thou art a quim, Sirrah!"
"That OnlyFans becometh thee naught, fair mistress."
and
"Unseal the scrolls of Epstein forthwith, good sir! Let truth step boldly from the shadow into the light of all menβs gaze."
Less female gaze, more female gays.

I thought you'd like this. A plumber heard that Reform (our far right party in the UK) were fielding a candidate. She stood as a Green Party candidate... and won!
The Left smashed the Right. But already Reform are claiming "illegals" voted.

If the West is to be everything they have pretended to be, we MUST defend Ukraine, Taiwan, Gaza, the West Bank, South Korea, and The Philippines.
We have a DUTY to protect Jews, rebuild Gaza and Haiti, we must prosecute the Putinist Regime, the Myanmar Junta, the cartels in Mexico.
Hey... yeah you... it's been tough lately. We've all been though it from a variety of sources. It's no wonder that our hackles are up.
All I ask is to try and take it down a level for your sake and theirs. You dont need the aggravation. Blessings x
He's such a tool. Punching himself and blaming others.
'El Greco' by Vangelis is the best soundtrack ever written. It feels like it comes direct from Carcosa. Whenever I run Dennis Detwiller's 'Night Floors' for DG/Call of Cthulhu I play this music because it matches it beat for beat and drips with Robert Chambers' oily spirit.

I thought you might be interested in this, more pointedly from 10:30. It echoes much of what you say and is a succinct revelation of Trumpism and its ability to push society.

Sick of these idiots. Isn't it 'incitement to riot'? Arrest them.
Proud to be a Green Party member.

"Hi. Whatcha doin?"
"Reading about a guy in prison."
"Oh cool! Papillon?"
"No, it's about him struggling in prison"
"Ah. Shawshank?"
"Nah. He's writing a book."
"Got it! It's La Morte d'Arthur!"
"No. It's from years ago."
"I give in. What is it?"
"Mein Kampff".
Stop buying Harry Potter.

Is A Pam Bondi a government lolcow now?
Bondi is SOOOO going to jail! π
Reform politicians are happy to throw insults from a distance.
But when it comes to debating their ideas? No show.
Richard Tice pulled out.
Farage wonβt face me.
Now their candidate in Gorton & Denton has ducked our candidate Hannah Spencer.
Vote Green.
Huh? There's a new series?
An Israeli game that rewards you if you harass anti-zionists and anti genocide posters online.
Israel is sick.
