During the programme, presenter Mark Beaumont, 31, was flung to the ground by a young judo champion, and joked: ‘I am not sure I can live that down – being beaten by a 19-year-old-girl.’

His remarks were aired in full when the documentary, called The Queen’s Baton Relay, was first broadcast on the BBC News Channel in April.

Gender is not just something you can label someone, as if that defines them. It’s a personal choice. Homosexuals, however, were of course born that way.

The feminist left likes to claim that the word, "girl," is inappropriate; that it should be "woman," instead.

But this (somewhat conveniently) ignores the fact that many adult females prefer to speak of, say, having "a night out with the girls"; and they do not seem to find anything at all objectionable about this un-PC language.

And some wonder why UKIP is kicking butt. The great unwashed masses are finally getting tired of this Shiite.

Perhaps they couldn’t spell “female”.

London is the center of the PC vortex that’s bringing down the West into the abyss of death and destruction.
