Title: What's Happening?
Post by: Sir Tigger KC on 02 December 2024, 18:27:32
All the news bulletins are dominated at the moment by a middle aged TV presenter who apparently has said a few saucy things to women.  ::)

There must be something going on somewhere that they don't want us to know about, or think too much about.  ???    :-X

Downing Street are even chipping in, ffs. Fanny Craddock used to give Johnny a hard time, he deserved it, he was a cozy dunt. But Harold Wilson never got involved  ;D

God forbid they ever do a documentary at work  >:D

They should stick him on a show with Nigella and see how he gets on.

But it does raise an interesting question, if these are things that he has said off camera, presumably all the banter/inuendos etc on air are presumably scripted which would just prove how contrived the shite foisted upon us is.

And for a normal person to be paid to say or act in a way they might in any other working environment, then how can they be expected to know where the boundaries are?

Two things made me laugh about this whole thing... The first was Kirsty Allsopp saying to Channel 4 news, that regardless of how nice Channel 4 news is, she had better things to be doing than gossiping to reporters*.
The second was Greg Wallace's self defense video and the uproar it has caused.

*I paraphrase but that was the gist of it.

I don't give a shit about Gregg Wallace or the dozy frigid bints he's upset. I want to know why they're making such a hoo haa about it and why?  ???

What have Starmer, Reeves and Lammy done now?   :-\  :-X

Why haven't the two Manchester airport thugs been charged yet?  ???   ::) 

In fact they should have been charged, tried, convicted and residing at His Majesties pleasure by now FFS!  >:(

If they'd been a couple of bald, tattooed white blokes who'd yelled at the police during the summer they certainly would have been dealt with. Harshly as well!  :-X

I think the Beeb have a real bee in their bonnet currently, and are going after anyone who even dares smile at a female.

Because a lot of their victims are their own BBC staff, the other lefty media are also chipping in with glee.

It appears the days of giving a cuddle to a female colleague over the photocopier at the Christmas party are long gone now....

And bending her over a desk and slipping her a fish is a definite no no.

He came to Heinz Wigan when they did Inside the Factory. Everyone who came into contact  with him said what an odious bloke he was.

There are certain 'elements' within British society who are seemingly above the law. The government and police are reluctant to take them on for fear of starting WW3.

I believe Reform are trying to take out a private prosecution.

Was that just prima donna "look at me, I'm famous, and like the sound of my own voice", or was a perv?

The former is not that uncommon in my experience with celebrities* I've met, particularly those that surround themselves with yes men.


*in the loose sense, like Wallace.

Yes, you are correct, TB...I can state a case of a celebrity, who came from Liverpool and could screech a bit, throwing a tantrum in a supermarket in Beaconsfield, with those enshrined words...'Do you know who I am'.....

I have yet to encounter that phrase, but I expect my response would be along the lines of...

No, would it help?

I witnessed someone (No idea who) try that in the queue at immigration at Heathrow once. It swiftly earned him a visit to the "latex glove room" out back. I didn't laugh much. :D

I have had that asked several times over the years whilst at work. Whilst the response usually differed depending on the actual situation, invariably ' No, I can't say I do. But if you are unsure, maybe ask your Mother?' Usually, it didn't take them off their high horse, but if finished with a little smile, it was great to see their reaction.....
