Yeah, that's just what I thought, it's a bit '3rd form Yeah, just what I thought, not really funny is it and not really much in the way of opinions? Not that controversial is it ........... I like this car but I don't like this other car.
You might well be right (must admit political bias isn't something I'm overtly aware of) but I think it's something that swings over time. I remember in the mid nineties being told that all but one or two newspapers were Tory but that's not the case now. I'd suspect it's a case of the people that benefited from the Blair era being in positions of power and it'll realign when the ones afterwards attain similar heights of achievement. Certainly the voting public aren't being swayed by this and the Tories should have (albeit via coalition) another five years to redress any imbalance in the media. I think most topical programs (either comedic or serious QT types) will always take a view of challenging the party in power because challenging the opposition is like attacking air - there's nothing of substance to claw at). I like Russell Howard and would put money on him being Liberal rather than one of the main two.
Well that's an overly dramatic way of putting it but yes that is exactly the point. You make him sound more extreme then he is. Most of what he says is said is tongue in cheek. Liberals tend to be very sensitive to people with views or comments they don't like and through in sensationalist sweeping statements like yours, "racist" "sexist" "waa waa wa" Part of Clarkson's success because he plays 2 audiences at once. He know's what to see to send liberals into a spin chucking out comments like yours and get off on having a go and shouting down and sneering at someone with opinions and comments you do not like. Then he also thrived with the audience like me who enjoyed him winding people up and every now and the pointing out the idiocy and hypocrisy of an over-bearing nanny state. For me it's a bigger issue then Clarkson. Its a purge in the media (including comedy) of anything right of centre. I genuinely see this as having serious negative long term consequences
That's my point. Russel Howard is extremely on the left. And his programme is often very anti-UKIP and very anti-tory. But when the biggest news story ofthe week came up with Emily Thornberry's white van tweet he didn't mention it. Now the editors, producers etc shouldn't have allowed this but the main reason is that it sums up his and a lot of comedians approach and this links with the view of many on left; If some one doesn't agree with you sneer at them because the answers they are either racist, sexist or stupid.
You mean ............... there'll be no one to have a pop at people owning caravans or not wearing jeans in their 50's
Bias propaganda and lack of balance? Kia, you recently said that Winston Churchill "saved the World from the Nazis" for phuck's sake!!
Hmmmm!! I'm a bit concerned that this post is descending into an argument. Not what was intended. I think you all know my views on most of the ugly subjects that have reared their collective heads during the thread, so I won't comment. What I will say is that what was intended as a light hearted post is not going the way I thought it would and I'm genuinely sorry for that. However, I don't believe in censorship of any kind, so I am not going to ask the mods to close it down, that is their decision. On a personal note, the BBC seem keen to kill the goose that laid the golden egg. Or are the rumours of a HUGE U turn true?
The part where you're all flustered & concerned about people having differing opinions and arguing. You're asking the Mods to close down a thread, on a debating forum, where people are debating the topic. Good grief, whatever next ........
That wasn't what I asked you dullard. I'll ask again 'Where have I mentioned that they differ from mine?' Which was what your post accused me of being sensitive of. Also, can you quote me verbatim where I have asked the mods to close down the thread? No, you can't, because I didn't. How thick can you get?????
If everyone has the same opinion as you then there can't be an argument can there idiot? How thick can you get? You're inviting/suggesting the Mods close the thread down because of what? "However, I don't believe in censorship of any kind, so I am not going to ask the mods to close it down, that is their decision." Why would the Mods close a thread down because there's an argument ..... an 'argument' isn't the end of civilisation as we know it Look at the 606 homepage ..... comment, 'debate', create. I'd imagine you work in an office
People have different opinions on a forum for opinions .......... mild opinions at that, no big deal is it?
Completely what I expected, you CANNOT quote me verbatim, because the quote does not exist!!!! Hilarious!!!! What a tool!!!!! Also, well done on COMPLETELY missing the point. 10/10 for that!! BTW, I don't work in an office and I imagine you don't work at all as, from your manner of your posts, you are still in nursery school.
So you're quite happy for the thread to continue and allow people to post their opinion in an honest debate If not, ask the Mods to close it down and I'll create another.
