Now you can’t even slut shame the sparrows!

-

FORMER RSPB officer Chris Edwards thought that nothing could possibly go wrong when he agreed to give a talk about birds to a group of ladies in Birmingham.

It was a free event, for about 60 people, organised to coincide with the annual Big Garden Birdwatch.

The most uncontrove­rsial event on the most uncontrove­rsial topic … a breeze… a stroll in the park. Oh no. This is 2019, after all. Chris has found himself at the centre of an “everyday sexism” storm and denounced as – wait for it – “inappropri­ate” by his former employers. Why? He was rude about sparrows. F** king sparrows! Chris is reported as saying of mating sparrows ,“the female does the equivalent of going out on the street corner, calling to attract a male, mating, sending the male off to get food, and then heading back to the street corner”.

The most that you would have expected from this is a titter at the semi- blue reference. Nope. Outrage ensued. Well, to be honest, it was confected outrage from one witless harpy with far too much time on her hands. Birdwatche­r Lorna Prescott said she felt “physically sick” at the language used by Chris.

“Physically sick”.

Ms Prescott, you need your guts looking at, love. There’s something wrong with your puke trigger.

She wrote on her blog: “Just in case he hadn’t quite driven home this slur on women, he had a slide to accompany his pronouncem­ent that he doesn’t call it ‘ a dunnock’, he calls it ‘ a trollop’.

“I’m not sure how many other women in the room felt uncomforta­ble.” Let me guess..? F** KING NONE, maybe?

Insanity

And to their eternal shame, the RSPB indulged the Prescott women’s insanity.

Ann Kiceluk, the RSPB’s people director said: “We are shocked to hear reports of inappropri­ate language being used at an event that should be celebratin­g everyone coming together for the Big Garden Birdwatch.

“This is not acceptable. There is no place for derogatory or offensive language in our reserves, our workplaces or at our events.”

Oh, for the love of all that’s f** ked!

Some sour- faced busybody gets her panties in a tangle at a light- hearted remark and the world’s most famous birdwatchi­ng club hasn’t got the bollocks to tell her to f** k right off.

If these perpetuall­y- outraged, whining halfwits with their hair- trigger response to anything “inappropri­ate” are not shut down immediatel­y, they just continue their lunatic crusade.

Our world has gone very wrong.
