What a surprise.

First female Black Rod (Black Rodess?) in 650 years.


She (sorry) is currently in charge of organising the Wimbledon tennis championships??? Well qualified to knock on doors, then. What nonsense.
She (sorry) will be known as The Lady Usher of the Black Rod - why? Why not usherette or usheress?
Surely they should have chosen a black woman for the post.


Is it becoming compulsory to appoint a women to every leading position just for the sake of it?
At least we're in line for a male Queen next. Unless, of course ...

I'd be bothered if the next James (or Jane) Bond was a woman.

Either way, in these stupid times, it will be an actor; whether male or female.

You're out of date.

It's apparently up to LBGTQIA now.

If you weren't sexist, then it wouldn't enter your head to mention it.

Because you have, then it must be bouncing 'round your empty head.

Which part of it bothers you? I'm guessing it isn't because they didn't choose YOU.

So the door of the commons is now going to be slammed shut in a womans face

I think there is a sexist reason for doing it.

Typical fatuous response.

Which part of it bothers you?

The part that thinks it is done solely for supposedly politically correct ideals.

I'm guessing it isn't because they didn't choose YOU.

Correct. I would not do such anachronistic pointless things which perpetuate the privilege that pervades the country.


Would you like to answer the questions in my post and dispel my belief?

Have you bothered to explore the fact that she may have been given the job on merit?
