PLATELL'S PEOPLE: Women in Ukraine are showing no-nonsense bravery but would the woke sisterhood here pick up an AK-47 to protect OUR nation?
Here in Britain, the woke brigade tied itself in knots discussing trans issues and single sex loos while two Labour frontbenchers pathetically refused to define what it is to be a woman.
In Ukraine, meanwhile, 37-year-old fitness instructor and IT teacher Tetiana put on her lippy, donned combat fatigues, grabbed her Kalashnikov and prepared to fight for her country as the only female member of the Bratstvo Battalion.
Also joining the militia in Kyiv and taking up arms was 20-year-old student Tanya, pictured, who said simply ‘it is my duty to be here now’.
On International Women’s Day this week, the no-nonsense bravery of the women in Ukraine could not have been in greater contrast to the earnest hand-wringing and agonising of the sisterhood over here.
Pictures in the Mail of Tetiana and Tanya — just two among countless female fighters in the country — did make me wonder how many British women would actually pick up an AK-47 to defend our nation. Mail.
