Alex 34913 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I can’t remember if it was Chez or someone else but it was in relation to a Swiss couple who complained to the authorities about the noise from a party they’d been to after they left 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44498 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Aye it was him, that's the incident I was thinking about. Spent all night at the party then went home and immediately rang the police about the noise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21847 Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Didn’t the nuclear arms race end in the late 80s, or am I missing something? The Tory magic money tree just keeps on giving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21847 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Wtf is this all about? It makes zero sense. And how are they going to sell it to the public? The military industrial complex is powerful and influential. But nukes? I get the argument for a deterrent but even the yanks and the Russians signed a treaty to cut capacity. Why do we need more? If we’re going to boost defence spending, investment in armed forces and counter terrorism makes more sense than spending money on more nukes that we’ll never use.

NJS 4375 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 It's the ultimate endgame of the analogy of nuclear weapons as empty willy-waving rhetoric when we have the epitome of that entire concept and a being whose existence is defined by it as pm.

RobinRobin 11160 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Sorry, but I have been meaning to say this for some time. In a time where women continue to be actively discriminated against purely on the basis of their gender, perhaps we need to reflect on whether we should be criticising the standard of her journalism, if valid, rather than any perceived relationship, of whatever type, with one or more male politicians. We don't do that with male journalists. Apologies if my remarks have hurt anyone (yes, sarcasm intended). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her constant reporting of messages from her government sources i.e. Cummings as gospel over the last couple of years has been shameful. And for gender balance, Robert Peston has come in for criticism for the same crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 9737 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Of course it’s just about her and other journalists gender and not about their standard of journalism. That’s why Piers Morgan got rightfully criticised and ridiculed for worshiping Donald Trump in his interview too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5186 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Can understand the point because I don't think any male journalists have been accused of the same sorts of relationships (although they may well have been with May..), but on the other hand she's complicit in perpetuating the regressive kind of thinking that creates these sorts of comments anyway, by supporting a right wing government led by an oversized toddler that rode to power on the back of a 'cultural movement' concerned with bravado, casual racism and misogyny. You reap what you fucking sow. That said, while I don't care remotely about the damage these sorts of comments do to Kuenssberg (and it will be zero damage), they clearly aren't helpful to other female journalists who aren't as ridiculously privileged, or wedged as firmly up Johnson's arse as she has been. Can't comment definitively on whether that last bit is a relationship status or a political preference, but I will say that she's sharing the view with a great many male journalists as well. I hope this qualifies as equal opportunity loathing, on my part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
