Off Topic The Politics Thread

never got that show over here
was it any good

It was funny, relevant, irreverent, sometime if the mark...of course it had to go, it was anti-government...

I am sure it would have been anti-government regardless...but since we have had only one party for the last 19 years we will never know

Hang on a minute, so you've copied and pasted something about which you have no personal knowledge?

Why?

because last week some were saying it was going because of the new dg at the bbc
but if people weren't actually watching it it deserves to go
we get a lot of uk stuff on tv here so it must have been really bad even the comedy channel didn't bother

Good grief!

The Daily Mash articles are more current affairs than politics. Guessing it’s still a pretty successful brand given the numbers it gets. Hopefully C4 take on the show and the Beeb can teleport its viewers back 40 years or whatever it is people want in that slot.

Can't wait for the comedy programmes on the new Andrew Neil channel. Jim Davidson, Bernard Manning, Roy Chubby Brown - it'll be hilarious.

Frome, although the use of the word "activist" here appears quite derogatory although I am sure you do not mean it that way, I agree with you that she does seem to be looking for a fight. However I understand her anger, as I feel it too.

It was a vigil.But she does seem to have lost the meaning of last night in her anger.

However, this needs to be dealt with quickly (with people called to account) and a line drawn under it.

Womens right to be safe in our cities does not to be addressed and quickly and not by statements like "Do not wear attractive clothing", "do not smile at people", "wear sensible clothes so you can run", "always carry your keys in your hand so you can punch someone"

Activist and proud of it Beth

Stainsey and Wills I cannot read the text, even in the attachment but I can read the title though
The vast majority of women who are appalled by last night's events are not men haters... I would like to say here on an open forum I personally love men ( in all senses of the word) and personally prefer the company of men to those of my own sex ( better conversation about football and music in my limited experience).

I only know one woman who was there last night, she left before it kicked off...so cannot speak definitely but I am pretty sure the people there were not men-haters but mostly ordinary women who are sick and tired of being scared and on edge and sometimes abused verbally or physically on the streets where they live simply because they are women.

That is a hateful title in a hateful paper...and does no good at all for any ones cause.

My brief look at some of the pictures from today’s protests tell me there are a few ‘men haters’ out there

To be honest Wills.....she has got a point.

Her point is to get the morons who read that garbage to dismiss any point raised on behalf of the safety of women as just the rantings of a man hater, the standard mo of the daily mail, this time it’s feminism that they try and undermine.

Oh Beth, there’s no need to read past the headline, mail readers minds have been decided by that point anyway.

And you can tell that fact simply from the pictures you see?
That is a brilliant skill!

If you could extend that skill to "woman hater/ killer" you could get a job in recruitment at the Met police ...they need you

The big “We Hate Men!!!” banner was a clue.

I will be voting against the Police Crime and Sentencing Bill in Parliament. The last thing the Police need is more powers at this time.

Ahhh so you have to be a woman hater/killer to get in the Met Pol now ? Interesting concept Beth which in the cold light of day, you might think isn’t a great one. It’s a bit like saying you have to be a killer of old people to be a GP...or a baby killer to be a nurse.
Have a good night eh
