Is anyone in agreement with this ridiculous PC nonsense?

[anotheoldgit]

The show won't be over until the Fat Lady sings.

What an all Muslim choir? lol.

[Jackdaw33]

LOL @ AOG.

I wonder how all the Welsh male voice choirs will take to this.

[Hopkirk]

Hang on you lot, they weren't forced to take in women. They had another option, which they took.

[Togo]

We would have to call them Wench Male Voice Choirs Jackdaw.

What rubbish! I can actually sing Bass (very deep alto)in fact I was chief Bass of our choir in France when MrJ2 joined and then I could return to alto. But there is a resonance that an all male-voice choir brings which a mixed choir can't equal, ditto an all-female choir. There is room for all types of choirs. Mr J2 used to sing with a Welsh male-voice choir - they can't produce that sound with female members and I would be appalled to lose them.

PC gone mad again - form a mixed choir as well and an all-female voice one. Problem solved and more music available to all. :)

At the moment a lot of ladies wear trousers. Let us have an edict to say that ALL people will wear dresses. ALL Public Toilets will be Multisex thereby saving huge amounts of pubic/public money. Come on guys get with it.

The Derbyshire Community Male Voice Choir has made the right move.

/// The Derbyshire Community Male Voice Choir has made the right move. ///

Yes but the whole point of it all is, is the fact that they have been forced into making that move and they shouldn't have needed to.

[Mamyalynne]

No they shouldn't but they have chosen well and can now get on with what they do best.

[Jackdaw33]

They could have just replaced the word 'police' with rozzers, filth, scuffers, busies &c.

Derbyshire Constabulary Male Voice Choir Asked To Become A Mixed-Voice Group. Now to be called Derbyshire Constabulary Mixed Voice Choir.

[Mamyalynne]

It's been changed again Ron?

Link?

[jackthehat]

I can't seem to muster up the energy to get worked up about this....

A choir has changed its' name so that it can carry on exactly as it did before and acknowledges that the name-change is not unreasonable?

[Jackdaw33]

It was always a mixed-voice choir, altos, tenors, baritones and basses.

[youngmafbog]

To me it clearly shows that the Chief Constable has jack all else to do.

Perhaps there is a saving to be had there?

[ToraToraTora]

kin ridiculous

//I can't seem to muster up the energy to get worked up about this.... //

Do you not think it's a bit silly though Jack? Someone saying 'we can't have a male voice choir because we're an equal opportunities employer'.

It's funny right, you've got to concede that at least. Like something from a satire on political correctness?

Constabularies have sports teams. I wonder what approach he's taking to those. Will they be all mixed men/women from now on? What a plonker.

[Hopkirk]

Well said Jackthehat.

At least I'm not alone.
