Platell's contribution to the war on woke.

Women in Ukraine are showing no-nonsense bravery but would the woke sisterhood here pick up an AK-47 to protect OUR nation?

Despite decades of feminist progression, my fear is that when push came to shove, our high-minded feminists would forget their notions of equality and leave it to the men.

They are only too happy to boast of equal rights but they’d baulk at brandishing a combat weapon.

I'm not really sure which country is planning to invade us but if it gets to the point that members of the public need to take up arms to defend this country we are well and truly screwed. I really can't see the likes of Boris Johnson and Jacob Rees-Mogg manning the barricades.

Of course, the country is awash with AK-47s, lying around just waiting to be picked up.

That's without considering which army that is still equipped with a weapon that was superseded years ago is likely to invade us.

What planet is she on?

Platell has no idea of the fighting potential of British women.
That's hardly a surprise as she tends to hand out in the wine bar districts of posh London.

If she wants examples:
* A late night drinking at Newcastle's famous Bigg Market.
* Post an article about "normal parenting" on Mumsnet.
* Barge in front of Cheryl Cole in the bogs queue.

There's certainly a vacuum between her ears - will that cause much damage?

I thought women wanting to be in the army was politically correct bollocks?

Don't try to find consistency or logic where there isn't any.

Platell had never fought for anything in her life apart from relevance, and she didn't fucking win there either.

[Andy McDandy]

Her column is just weird. Half projection (I bet the feminists wouldn't grab a gun), and half playground whining ("See her? She's fat, she is.").

Can somebody explain Platell to me? Apart from being yet another gobshite Strine, I recall her being brought in by the Tory party a couple of decades ago but she seems to have risen without trace.

Installed as editrice of the Express by Dirty Des in order to shore up the flagging circulation. Which promptly halved.

Is that where she got her foothold in the UK press?

<goes off, reads Wiki>

Right, I think I've learned enough about her now.

[Cyclist]

Knowing she exists is knowing more about her than I really wish to.

"Ploughperson" is a bit silly and uninventive (personally, I'd have gone with non-gender-specific agricultural worker), but I'm pretty sure that, far from being an ancient tradition, the ploughman's lunch was a marketing invention of the 'sixties.

[Watchman]

I always thought Mail readers BTL were of the view that the owners of shops and pubs had the right to say and serve who they wanted to or not; you know, like refusing to bake a wedding cake for the gayz!

[Andy McDandy]

Strange, isn't it, that the people who insist that nobody can tell them what to do are generally very keen on telling others what they can or can't do.
