The annual number of murders in the UK appears to always be between 500 and 600 these days. What can be said with a degree of certainty is that the overwhelming majority of the murderers will be male.

Female murderers are exceptional. Females lack the strength and the aggression to kill another adult human being, especially if that adult is a male. So when a woman kills someone else, it is usually noteworthy, even outside of infanticide.

The BBC News website has posted a story on its website concerning an allegedly homicidal woman. The first two paragraphs read:

“A woman has been charged with murder after a man died at a house in a Staffordshire village on Christmas Day.

Kirsty Carless, 33, has been charged with the murder of Louis Price in Norton Canes.“

And herein lies the problem.

Is Kirsty Carless actually a woman? We can no longer know if we solely rely on BBC News.

And here I have to clarify what I mean when I use the word “woman”, because it’s the 2020s. I mean a biological woman. To expand, I mean a person with XX chromosomes, who is born with a vagina and uterus, who will develop breasts in their teens, which will naturally lactate after a childbirth of which they are inherently capable. A person who naturally generates oestrogen. 

I think you get the idea. 

In fact, it is likely you did not need the detailed description because you probably accept that the definition of the word “woman” is the same as it has been for the last hundreds of years, since the word “woman” was first derived from the Old English compound “wyf man”, with “wyf” used in Old English for both married and unmarried women.

But then, you probably don’t work for BBC News. And here’s the problem. 

BBC News’s definition of “woman” will, in addition to the definitions I have supplied above, also include any man who decides he is a woman, and demands everyone else on the planet, including BBC News journalists, complies with his wishes on pain of varying degrees of social hostility, up to and including violence.

So, just looking at the BBC News report of this murder, is Kirsty Carless a biological woman (with XX chromosomes, etc.)? It is impossible to tell. 

In isolation, this BBC News report cannot be trusted. And if this news report cannot be trusted due to the known biases in the BBC newsroom, why should any report they put out?

BBC News seems (I have dumped my TV licence, so I do have to rely on the website to make my determinations for this article) to have picked a side in the Israel-Hamas-Hezbollah-Iran fight, and it is not Israel, despite Israel making war in the same manner as the USA did after Pearl Harbor, or the West did after Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait. 

Rather than regard the fighting on the ground in Gaza as a military campaign akin to the Battles of Berlin and Okinawa in 1945, BBC News portray the situation as a humanitarian disaster, and blame Israel because Hamas has not surrendered or returned the Israeli hostages, despite the utterly hopeless military situation that the genocidal Islamist lunatics (a perfectly accurate description of Hamas that BBC News will never use) find themselves in. 

When Islamic Jihad launched a series of rockets towards Israel, and one of them misfired and hit a hospital, the BBC initially blamed Israel. Israel is also blamed by the BBC when Hamas deliberately uses hospitals as a cover for its military stockpiles and subterranean installations, and Israel seeks to destroy these.

The Guido Fawkes website has documented numerous instances of BBC News using left-wing activists that are described as impartial experts on certain issues. It is a regular occurrence at the BBC and just confirms BBC News’s political bias. If BBC News cannot perform even the basic due diligence, then the organisation must be doing this deliberately. 

It may therefore surprise the reader to know that BBC News actually has a unit called ‘BBC Verify’, but again, the Guido Fawkes website has documented numerous failures of this unit’s due diligence, despite the enormous sums being paid to BBC Verify’s staff, notably when it declared a AI-generated parody image of Donald Trump was deepfake propaganda.

It does not help that the BBC’s ‘Disinformation Correspondent’, Marianna Spring, lied on her CV and was caught out when she was trying to blag a job in a news agency before BBC News accepted her with open arms. She obviously fits right in.

But back to Kirsty Carless. It is impossible to determine if Ms Carless is a biological woman from the article on the BBC News website, given the BBC’s slavish reputation on trans issues. And if the BBC is to be believed, this means that for anyone relying on BBC News reports, there will appear to be an increase in violent female criminals, because BBC News has completely signed up to the notion that ‘transwomen are women’. 

To find out if Carless is biologically female, any user of the BBC News website will have to look elsewhere. This is not what is intended by BBC News.

Fortunately, the nemesis of BBC News, the Daily Mail, has the answer. Its article makes this clear in the headline: “Pictured: Mother, 33, accused of murdering ‘on-off boyfriend’ on Christmas Day – as tributes pour in for father-of-six.” The photograph of Ms Carless leaves little room for the doubt generated by the BBC News article. 

Ms Carless is one of the rare examples of a woman being accused of murder. And by woman I mean biological woman, etc. But the distorting narrative of BBC News and the liberal media means that this previously unnecessary clarification is now increasingly required. Biological women are now being described as ‘birthing parent’, ‘people who menstruate’, any biological characteristic to avoid having to admit that transwomen are not, for reasons of biology, women. 

This is not progress, it is not progressive, either. It also means that by public standards that it has now rejected, BBC News can no longer be trusted by the public.
