Watching the 6 o clock news about the Grenfell Tower tragedy and feeling absolutely devastated.
BBC reporter speaking to the asst fire chief for the London Fire Brigade, began by saying the public want to thank 'your men' this evening for their heroic actions. Later asked if 'your men' had accessed all parts of the building and used the phrase once again later in the short interview. To his credit, the fire chief did say 'our firefighters, both men and women...'
Surely the reporter is aware that women work in frontline emergency services too these days
