    I have noticed that in the past. But this morning on BBC world news they had a new news story about how Scotland has become the first country in the world to make period products free for all. Cheers!

    Not sure. And do you mean that they put a man in charge of the free period products for all - if so I don't think it will be a problem.. Cheers!

    He is the official "Period Dignity Officer." I don't know if it involves free products or not.

    I was a little afraid to Google Period Dignity Officer because I thought I would get a lot of porn sites popping up but I did and it turns out it is the same country. His job will be to implement the new law so I don't think him being a man will effect his work. Cheers!

    If it is just handing out free products no it should not effect his job.  
    It is a bit ironic,  that they  search for a woman to pit in all these other jobs. Ie. SCOTUS,  VP, board rooms etc. 

    But for Period Dignity Officer a man is chosen. I seen several responses saying a woman does not need  a man to mansplain periods.

    They call it a "nine-day wonder". It's passe by day six.

    That said, there's some interesting things coming to light about the ex-Prime Monster's behaviour during his term. He may well be thrown out of Parliament if he doesn't quit first.

    It's all politics, local crimes and car crashes.  I guess the post-Covid world is pretty uninteresting.

    At least our shooting-o-the-day is something new. And murder-o-the -week.

    Yes, but after a while, even they seem to be all the same.

    This morning I heard a bit of new news and I hope I start hearing more similar new news like it. The NBA announced that they won't be holding any games on election day instead they are encouraging people to get out and vote. Cheers!
