Plus they recently sacked a sex pest so there is a vacancy for a new one

Quote: Alfred J Kipper @ 1st December 2024, 11:46 AMAnd if you were to do a survey of all TV sexual innuendo and relaying your sex life to everyone, I'm pretty sure you'd find it very mostly coming from females. And yet no one is trying to end their careers. 🤔
Such bollocks.
Amazing that people complain about political correctness supposedly taking over our culture and then we learn something like this has been going on for years.
Such behaviour has never been acceptable.

Round objects.

I thought it wasn't a news channel?
At least that's what they said to OFCOM to dodge impartiality rules.
And to be honest, who watches the mainstream news channels?

Of course it has, institutions like the BBC accepted and even praised the likes of Jimmy Savile for decades, and virtually every male oriented workplace had its blokey unpc sexual banter based hierarchy and none of them got anywhere near the current ratio for employing or promoting women. Your woke world of change is very new, in relative terms.
I'm not saying that wasn't needed, but turning it into a revenge campaign of head hunting retribution I see that's happening now is a pretty distasteful spectacle. It's like lining up all the Alpha males to be publicly neutered. ✂️😣

You are pretty good at disputing facts and later apologising.

Saville's behaviour wasn't socially acceptable either.
Greg Wallace is an alpha male??
Is that how Alpha males establish their alphaness? They behave really creepily around women.

But it was certainly tolerated. You forget that people in public life had a certain level of status, we were less cynical and more respectful of them. Now, we can't wait to condemn them for their base behaviour many 'lesser' folk are guilty of. Some seem to think they should be inhumanly saintly. Huw Edwards for example.

It's nothing new. We like seeing people fall from grace. Schadenfreude has been around forever, but in the social media 24 hour news cycle age it's on steroids.

In some quarters - absolutely 100%
Nail on head
In fact some people think if you don't behave like that - it makes you some fort of homosexual Nancy boy

You claimed the US election result wasn't close. But it was.
You're nuts.

Trump won by a margin of 1.6%. The second closest result of the last fifty years.
I used to really enjoy the "Inside the Factory" series, as an interesting (OK, but geekish) look how various products were produced - mostly comestibles.
BUT, Gregg's approach of pseudo wide-eyedness with the glee of a school boy used to chime a bit and I wished for someone not so childish, and now I notice we do not appear to have heard from his co-presenter, the attractive Cherry Hinton - I wonder if she was "approached" by Gregg.
