I really struggle with Runner Beans and her surrogacy journey. I appreciate it must be really tough being completely infertile (we used the same IVF clinic) but she feels so entitled to other women’s wombs. She’s forever whinging that surrogacy in the UK is both expensive and heavily regulated.

I’m really not sure I’d like to see surrogacy made cheap nor de-regulated as you’re fundamentally asking someone to risk their health to give you a child. It’s always a much poorer women signing up to be a surrogate as well. Her own surrogate had issues around the birth so surely she understands it’s expensive and regulated for a reason.

My opinion (not that it matters) is that surrogacy should be free, only for women who want to help another woman with no money involved. That way is not always a poor woman used as an incubator for a privileged one.
In countries where this is allowed, surrogacy is almost anecdotical. I wonder why... Oh yes! carrying/birthing a baby is no joke

BTW, I saw that Gen Huss is back to public! I hope she's now less obsessed with running, and happy overall

She boils my piss. I think surrogacy is super ethically questionable.
When the Ukraine war started she posted about how sad it was as it had some of the most liberal surrogacy laws in the world. People are going to die and lose their homes you vile cow, but you’re sad because you can’t use a poor woman’s body.
 
That Fordy Runs is a bleeping fraud isn't he! Slags off brands like no other over time and then suddenly buys some bits from them, makes out he loves them and hey presto he's got a collaboration. Good going considering you labelled the brand (sun god) a year or so ago as overpriced crap

He’s definitely the type of person you hear before you see!
 
I watched a few of Fordyrun's youtube videos and gave up. I can't follow what he's saying because he just shouts incoherently.

Also, I want to ban any social media weirdos producing merch. I'm sick of seeing the jog on tops and the fordyrun ones in particular.

I have had to block his videos from my YouTube feed as it was adversely affecting my mental health. He is the worst bullshitting grifter in the running space by a long shot, as he pretends to be the complete opposite. There are so many things wrong with this guy I wouldn't know where to start. As for his cult followers...if you are one of them you need to reappraise your existence!

Yeah definitely agree! How can you also do a full shoe review in 3 minutes as well?! Basically say 'nah it's tit' or if it's a brand he wants to get freebies from he'll stick up loads of their stuff and praise the life out of it. Don't get me started on those videos with his mates, all about him rambling utter nonsense! Anyone know if it's true about the London Marathon ballot for the forty runs club this year (may have been last) where he didn't ballot the spot and gave it to a mate there so he could get content? Unsure if it's true but heard from a couple of people this story
 
Fordy Runs. Definitely your first stop for ill-informed, poorly researched shoe reviews! Based on shoe brand I can completely predict what he is going to say (Brooks: "boring", Skechers (his main sponsor): everything great). One of the most cringe-inducing things I have ever seen is him and his cronies on a train to Scotland or something laughing uncontrollably at their "hilarious" banter, with some poor random sap sitting in between them looking so unconfortable he could die. That journey must have been one of the most abysmal experiences of his life....The lack of consideration for others beggars belief!
