Anyway, that's what happens when political correctness overcomes the common sense.

It's those 'other' people again?
And as for Neil Gaiman, does he know me? I've never heard of him myself, but he's very entitled to his personal random statements, just like everyone else is.

You seem to be making things up, I never said any such thing.
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the deafening noise of those dog whistles...

Cox studied physics at the University of Manchester. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree with first-class honours and a Master of Philosophy degree in physics.
He completed his Doctor of Philosophy degree in high-energy particle physics at the University of Manchester.
His thesis, Double Diffraction Dissociation at Large Momentum Transfer was based on research he did on the H1 experiment at the Hadron Elektron Ring Anlage (HERA) particle accelerator at the DESY laboratory in Hamburg, Germany.
Cox is a Royal Society University Research Fellow, a PPARC Advanced Fellow, and particle physicist at the University of Manchester and he works on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN.
He is working on the research and development project of the FP420 experiment in an international collaboration to upgrade the ATLAS and the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment by installing additional, smaller detectors at a distance of 420 metres from the interaction points of the main experiments.
Cox has co-authored several books on physics including Why does E=mc2?[38] and The Quantum Universe, both with Jeff Forshaw.

I don't think you're even doing Brian Cox any favours by introducing him like that. :lol

Whilst many people may agree with what was posted here, it is pushing the boundaries of what some people think is normal these days.
Transphobia = the fear of people who cannot tell if they are male or female.
Okay, i hear you, fair enough.
'Some' people sound like the ones that need to tick the 'other' box then, i guess.
I don't "fear" these people at all by the way, i just don't necessarily comprehend their way of thinking, call me old school if you wish. But then there are plenty of standard male or female people i don't get either so it's all a bit of a moot point anyway.

You forgot to add the infinite monkey cage to his CV, I am guessing Wikipedia didn't have that info for you to cut and paste. That's all you did with the info I gave you about Horizon 2020 you just googled it and went straight to their propaganda page and cut and pasted how they describe themselves. # Lazy.
I would hazard a bet that you never even knew about it, I wonder if anyone reading this knew about this EU department with an 180billion budget
And Its far from the streamlined efficient "under one roof" glorious EU department that you describe it as.Its one gigantic talking shop with 100's of layers of lifelong Eurocrats busy thinking up ways to justifi their own jobs.
And that's one of the problems with the EU commission- its a massive gravy train with an endless pot of cash from all the mugs who pay into it.
Horizion 2020 ----

Why would you even consider embarrassing yourself by saying something like that? That's just insane!
It's the same as saying "I didn't lose the race, it's just that everyone else finished in front of me. :groan

Yep you are right - I will no longer add EU related stuff here either. Because Its all over you lost - time to move on. Even Gina Miller has said time to move on and Tony Blair has agreed its all over and has said “Brexit is happening, and our attitude now should be to strive to make the best of it; to approach it with determined optimism",
All other remainers should do the same.
There was however one final act of submission to the EU that the UK had to abide by and it was leaving at 11pm -- because that was 12 midnight EU time, we should of left at 12pm GMT -Its our focing clock anyway
Done - goodbye.
