HER MAJESTY’S SEXIST SERVICE

Bond star George under fire from women

- by RUTH McKEE

RANTING 007 actor George Lazenby has caused a sexism storm by claiming modern men “have no balls” and have had power taken from them by women with “squeaky voices”.

JAMES Bond star George Lazenby is under fire for claiming modern men “have no balls” because “women have taken over”.

The 80-year-old blasted the “bloody squeaky voices” of female stars who he said now dominate television and film.

And he also reckons

“men have to ask permission to speak”.

The Aussie actor, right, fumed: “It’s no longer a man’s world. “You just have to look at the newscasts – 75% of the people are women and before it was 10%, so women have taken over.

“I don’t say that as a bad thing, but it’s different.”

George, who starred in 1969 Bond flick On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with Dame Diana Rigg, said: “Men haven’t got the balls they had 50 years ago. “When I was born my mother had to get permission to speak. And now the men have to.” But equality activists hit back at him. Athena Stevens, of the Women’s Equality Party, said: “Women still generally earn less than men. “And women with diverse background­s or experience­s remain shut out of our media.”

IT’S generally accepted by Bond fans that George Lazenby was the worst ever 007.

And he doesn’t seem to have improved with age.

It’s one thing to have a go at generation snowflake for getting offended at everything.

But the stuff he is saying would be considered dinosaur-like even back in his day.

In a bizarre rant he complains that women have taken over.

And he can’t stand female newsreader­s because of their “bloody squeaky voices”.

George needs to start living in 2020 right away.

There are lots of daft theories and PCmad nonsenses spouted these days.

But treating women as inferiors went out with black and white TV and the ration books.

From world leaders to the heads of police, women are now treated rightly as equals.

And the bigoted views of the likes of Lazenby are finally dying out.
