And he seems to be enjoying it!

Glad he took all recognisable features out of the photo. So another restaurant doesn’t get vandalised by TRAs.

Good for Daley. More power to his elbow.

Igmum · 04/08/2023 05:57

Well done Daley! Top terfing there Grin

I remember him being at the Women’s Place event. I recognise Fiona McAnena of Fair Play for Women in that photo, not sure who else.

OhcantthInkofaname · 04/08/2023 03:18

They think terf I think gender critical!

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 04/08/2023 01:36

I wonder if hes terfy because he peaked of his own realisation or because of still being friends with Sharron?

I wouldn't know for sure either way, but it does strike me that quite a number of the mediocre, mid/low-table male athletes are the ones who are attracted to cheating so as to take medals from women in the female events.

When you're a man who has already proved yourself at the top of the male game in your day, it must rather take the shine off any possible temptation to infiltrate the women's events.

I wonder if hes terfy because he peaked of his own realisation or because of still being friends with Sharron? Either way they are both awesome. I was a fan in the 80s (got to love such an awesome moustache) and since then.
Sharron has done various interviews to promote her book, which are viewable on youtube, all well worth watching.

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 04/08/2023 01:19

I love this! Who else is at his lunch?

Looks like he's pals with at least one other male TERF!

FatherJackHackettsUnderpantsHamper · 04/08/2023 01:18

I always liked that he did decathlon - it’s a ‘proper’ Ancient Greek Olympian thing.

Yes, and it's very much a "Hold my beer!" sport!!

"Ah, you came top in your discipline? Well done! Oh, me? Erm, yeah, I won in mine, too... all ten of them, actually..."

There couldn't be a more massive gulf in outlook on this issue between the two British Olympians called Daley, could there?!

Sugarfree23 · 04/08/2023 01:13

I think he's been supporting Sharron Davies for a while

Who else is going to fess up to owning or playing Daley Thompson's Decathlon?

Ooh Daley Thompson 😍 And just one more reason to 😍 him.

I find it shocking that he’s had to delete his surroundings so the restaurant doesn’t get trashed.

It is horrendous that we have reached this point. As a Jewish woman I grew feeling that antisemitism and misogyny were in the past. The last 10-20 years has made me realise how naive I was.

Superfood · 04/08/2023 00:42

Love love love love love
I have such admiration for the men who are willing to put themselves out there like this. He was a hero of mine in the 80s. So glad he still is.

@IcakethereforeIam that is the current UK mens 100m sprinters, not the decathletes! He was an incredible athlete across all the 10 disciplines.

littlbrowndog · 04/08/2023 00:38

Decathlete

littlbrowndog · 04/08/2023 00:37

He was a dechathlete and has been supporting Sharron Davies for ages

WookeyHole · 04/08/2023 00:36

When British Rowing launched their (now freshly rescinded) trans competitors policy, he said on Twitter he would fund any female wanting to legally challenge it. I've followed him ever since.

IcakethereforeIam · 04/08/2023 00:34

He was a decathlete, wasn't he? 35th is bloody impressive. Does that include all the sprinters too?

Charley50 · 04/08/2023 00:33

He's a long-time Terf; took part in a Women's Place event with Sharron Davies a few years ago. He's also (still) extremely hot, and I rarely fancy anyone.

EdithStourton · 04/08/2023 00:33

TheCornflakeHotline · 04/08/2023 00:01

He dated Sharron Davies back in the day. Wonder if they're still mates?

They still are. He features in her book. He's an out and out terf.

RoseslnTheHospital · 04/08/2023 00:31

That 100m time of 10.45 would put him as 35th on the 2023 season's best so far for UK 100m sprinters. Don't know if that says more about DTs greatness or the current dearth of UK talent bar the top one or two.
