Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

Apparently the BBC kept him on for years, despite knowing he was dodgy.

Personally, I'd never heard of him until these allegations hit the news.

 

They have a bit of form for that don’t they

 

...spoiling the broth indeed.

 

Ffs like been married !!


Belgian sex workers have gained the right to sick days, maternity pay and pension rights under the first law of its kind in the world.

Lawmakers voted in May to give sex workers the same employment protections as any other employee, in an attempt to clamp down on abuse and exploitation.

The law, which went into force on Sunday, ensures that sex workers have employment contracts and legal protection.

It is intended to end a grey zone created in 2022 when sex work was decriminalised in Belgium but without conferring any protections on sex workers, or labour rights such as unemployment benefit or health insurance.

Under the law, sex workers have the right to refuse sexual partners or to perform specific acts and can stop an act at any time. Nor can they be sacked for these refusals.

Employers must be of “good character” with a business residence in Belgium; they must also ensure their premises are equipped with panic buttons, clean linen, showers and condoms.

The protections do not cover home working, or activities such as striptease and pornography.

The Belgian Union of Sex Workers described the law as “a huge step forward, ending legal discrimination against sex workers”.

But it said the rules could “be instrumentalised” to reduce or eliminate sex work. It added: “We already see certain municipalities hiding behind the words ‘safety’ and ‘hygiene’ to promulgate very strict local regulations that make sex work almost impossible on their territory.”

Some feminist organisations have criticised the law. When the bill was published in 2023, the Council of Francophone Women of Belgium said it would be “catastrophic” for young girls and victims of trafficking.

“To assume that prostitution exists and that we must protect workers is to accept this sexist violence and not to fight it,” the head of the organisation told Le Soir.

 

He’s a convicted Millwall hooligan - why was he allowed to present a family TV show anyway? Nasty piece of work. When you’ve got Rod Stewart and Kirstie Allsopp publicly calling you out, there is no way back - even without his own brainless intervention.

 

Ironically the Belguim woman they interviewed on the BBC was complaining that she was still working 1 week before giving birth and went back to work 1 week after as she could not afford to live.
It was her 5th child FFS. No wonder she is skint.

 

Greg(G) is absolutely guaranteed to end up on GB news bemoaning his being cancelled by leftist global elites.

 

He’s not a likeable bloke but what has he actually done?

 

By the sound of it used his time machine to travel back to the 1970's.

Another youngish bloke on who wants to be a millionare, two life lines used to get to £1000 now stuck on which first world war battle was fought at sea, the somme, verdun, pashendale or jutland. His phone a friend suggested verdun, he bottled it and took the money.
It just seem as though people don't hold much general knowledge with everything being available in a few clicks on your phone.

 

Wet?

Seriously though a lot of young people won't know details of WW1, why would they? It probably isn't taught at school now, WW1 films won't interest them much, and at a young age they've got lots of more pressing contemporary data to store away and process. Us old gits on here know stuff like this because we're old and have had more time to absorb stuff we don't need to know on a day by day basis.

On the other hand, a lot of them do seem a bit dim sometimes

 

In the good old days you learnt things just watching TV most programmes were in some way educational, now its just **** reality ****e, jungle, big brother, love island, married at first sight, and a hundred other similar **** things

 

not completely fair - some older people are worse than thick
