    Just because you don't agree with criticism of the daft sods doesn't make it a non- story. It was also reported in a number of other papers. Including the Guardian.

    You must be misreading things. I didn’t offer my opinion on the protagonists at all.

    So what is your view on the daft sods who issued this list? And if it happened how is it a non-story?
    Or is non-story, like fake news, an expression applied to anything that you don't approve of or think shouldn't be mentioned?

    There are things that I feel are wrong and things that I feel are right. There are other things that I am indifferent to.

    Doesn’t mean that I think they are newsworthy.

    So these idiots should be allowed to carry on with their stupid ideas free from anyone making people aware of it? Deciding people should have their doings kept quiet from the genetalmpublic is a dangerous road to go down. These sort of things are far more deserving of reporting than I'm A Celebrity..., Love Island, Strictly Come Dancing etc which have teams of stuff written about them for the masses.

    My opinion on it is that I really couldn’t care less.

    However, I do think it’s Janus-faced, both pretty sad and funny that it seems to be enraging people though. You seem livid.

    You may find this strange, but it is things like the necessity of foodbanks, or that recent UN Report into the state of Britain that get me frothing, not some Student Union’s comedy-act booking policy.

    Stupidity as evidenced in this instance irritates me, yes. If someone doesn't make it known and mock it then it becomes slowly and quietly accepted. Though I can bet if insults and hate filled jokes had been directed at certain politicians and figures they would have been met with rapturous applause with no one complaining their safe space had been invaded.

    You are an intelligent bloke who makes his points without resorting to insults so let's agree to disagree.

    No problem. It's good to debate this sort of stuff.
