x-in-man 2,235 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Hey, it’s stops everyone talking about COVID, nice one Stu. Can you work for the BBC now, they need a change to reporting habits too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Says it all really. The communications commission/Home Affairs should really make sure that the station/programme is independent and can even talk about their own service issues. Corrin has now “accidentally” deleted it from IONN&P as well which is what he usually does when he gets a call from someone in government asking him to help them manage bad PR.

I like Stu, but he does have this self-destruct button that he seems to press every now and then. Of course the cardinal sin is frightening the horses, i.e, the advertisers. Why, oh why, can he not just keep away from anything controversial on air? If you start on this subject there's only one way its going to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

China is a fucking disgrace on a huge amount of levels. The point is that the people who continually use phrases like that are doing so because they're overwhelmingly astonishingly thick. Is the absolute failure of huge parts of the western world to handle the pandemic the fault of China? 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you’ve heard the clip (it’s on FB now) it isn’t really that controversial. It seems like some sad teenager full of her own self righteousness and her silly student mates who have nothing to do currently have blown it up out of all proportion. It wasn’t a classic Stu Peters fauxpar of the inferior Jeremy Clarkson variety sadly. He even agreed with her at one point. This has all the classic signals of a #metoo “2” style social media trend about it. Everyone is jumping on board claiming they’ve been affected even if they’re very clearly white.

Manxberry 271 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 >Is the absolute failure of huge parts of the western world to handle the pandemic the fault of China? That's like saying "Is the absolute failure of huge parts of Nagasaki to handle the radiation the fault of America?" - Of course it fecking is Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Did they order Boris to delay the UK lockdown by 3 weeks and pretend everything is fine? I am in no way defending the Thug State that the CCP operates, and am fully aware that they told lies early on and continue to do so. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nobody is disputing that. Only the particularly hard of thinking need to give it a special name as if that were the most important part about it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't heard it, so I am very pleased that this is the case. The station should therefore stand by their man. Classic metootoo. I wonder was there an element of "agent provocateur" involved. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
