To "protect" women's sports, women now will have to prove to the UCI they are indeed biological women. They follow the IOC rulings towards LA2028, I know, but it infuriates me! Let men prove they are men too, preferably with a painful physical test. For equality. Ridiculous war on trans people

More on Régis Le Bris from 2022 ⬇️
screenshot of a quote from Yann Kervella "Régis built the Lorient training centre from A to Z during ten years. He’s a builder and a performance accompanist. He planned with great coherence the principles of play which were built up over ten seasons. His success is that everyone feels important and involved in his project. He encouraged the players to write a shared history with him and the club, which helped develop a strong sense of belonging among them.”

Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian. 

[Scene is BBC BREAKFAST with two presenters and a guest on the sofa].

1
PRESENTER:
Now - some disturbing new research has shown

2
PRESENTER:
that as many as 10 non-Reform political parties may currently operating ‘under the radar’ across the UK.

[Show on screen logos for Greens, Lib Dems, Conservatives 

3
PRESENTER:
In the studio to discuss this, Nigel Farage

[We see the guest on the sofa is indeed Nigel Farage]

4
PRESENTER:
Nigel, what’s your view? 

FARAGE:
Well I think this very worrying.

5
FARAGE:
And just another reason why we should ban all immigration.

6
PRESENTER:
I won’t push back on that

FARAGE:
Absolutely!

7
PRESENTER:
Funnily enough, this is what your new show’s about, isn’t it?

FARAGE:
Oop - plug time!

PRESENTER:
Ha ha

8
FARAGE:
Yes it’s a 12-part BBC documentary called ‘In Search Of The Political Parties That Aren’t My One’.

9
[Show on the TV screen Farage presenting a documentary series titled In Search Of The Political Parties That Aren’t My One. He is wearing his farmer's getup and looking dreamily at the UK from hillsides, visiting pubs and chatting with the locals, etc]

FARAGE:
It’s a really emotional journey 

10
FARAGE:
with lots of dreamy footage of me looking relatable... 

11
FARAGE:
as I answer the question:

*Am I the only option for Britain?*

12
[Cut back to studio]

PRESENTER:
I won’t push back on that

FARAGE:
Absolutely!

I’m convinced this is how a bay leaf would talk
Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian, here's the script:

[Scene is the inside of a SOUP. Some CARROTS and BITS OF BROCCOLI are floating around and a STOCK CUBE and a BAY LEAF have just been dropped in.] 

1
STOCK CUBE:
Alright lads - this is Bay Leaf.
My colleague from the spice rack.

2
BROCCOLI:
Hi Bay Leaf

BAY LEAF:
Yuh yuh hi

3
CARROTS:
You up for getting proper blended with us later, Bay Leaf?

BAY LEAF:
Nuh mate, getting scooped out before soup stage.

4
CARROTS:
Oh! So… you’re not being eaten then?

BAY LEAF:
Eaten! Haha

5
BAY LEAF:
Not allowed mate.

I’m afraid I’m a lil’ bit *toooo intense*...

6
BAY LEAF:
Just here for the flavour hit.
Special forces, y’know.
That’s why there’s just one of me.

7
BAY LEAF:
Over-deploy and you’d have this whole soup stiiinking of bay leaf…

8
BAY LEAF:
You might wanna stand back actually.
This place is about to get preeetty bay leafy...

9
[Silent pause]

10
CARROTS:
Are you doing something

BAY LEAF:
Sure am mate.

11
BAY LEAF:
Suuuuure am.

12
BAY LEAF [Getting scooped out by chef’s spoon]:
You need training to perceive it.

CARROTS:
OK
