If you want ridiculous call them Guardsman*woman. The plural gets even better. Try it. Society is changing and not for the better.

Auld Queenie scrounger.

Agree this is boring non news. Women are allowed in the army. Call them Guards. It so pathetic to use this and try and make it a big story. The army is modernising. Grow with it

As they are not men it seems sensible not to call them men.

Stupid cows

Totally fair.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuming,mega mega fuuuuuuuuuuuuming. Says Nick Ferrari if he get wind of this.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

LBC has turned into the Daily Express

I don't think this is news. I like listening to LBC, but these culture wars social media posts are boring me so I might unfollow. Did you know there's actually a prime minister hanging on by a thread while you're posting a non-issue?

They've been called guardsmen long enough. They now should all be called guardswomen.

How about Guardette ?

Yaaaaaaawn!!!!

When will this BS end

Horses are now to be called cows and instead of rifles they are now to shout how offensive they find the enemy.

And everyone dances to the MSM Tune

Ha ha..

For gawds sake okay Guardsmen & women there you go problem solved !

Can’t wait for Dick Bugatti’s hot take in the morning🙄

Oh no they're changing a name, oh shit the worlds ending, oh wait opal fruits did it years ago and the world kept spinning. Non story.

This in modern times shouldn't even be a thing - just 'Queens Guards' for the official title and 'Guard (s)' for internal barking at and addressing sounds way more cooler & harder anyway.

Gammon explosion incoming!!

So what are we going to replace ‘human’ with? Huit? Huthey? Hughboth? Should not the word ‘man’ be abolished? Why not ‘bipedal?’ Madness.

Heard it was a man who got the meat n veg chopped and said he wants to be called a women

Ask the Queen what she thinks about that.

Hmmm but did they?

This is embarrassingly ridiculous stuff ANZ_AU Just be a bank, not some woke incubator.
