R4 just announced it’s Huw Edwards on 11:33 - Jul 13 by Herbivore | I'm not banned from the other Town forum, I'll pop on the here and send you a PM if you like. I stopped posting on there years ago though as TWTD is superior. And yes, I did apologise to Phil (and Bloots) as it goes. So can you now clarify whether you think the Tate brothers were arrested and detained by police because the police felt they had a case against them or because of some BBC led conspiracy? Very curious as to whether you are genuinely unhinged or just very shouty and don't really think things through. |
There's another Town forum? |  |

Of course, you never do wrong ! You had stopped posting there years ago. People had enough of you because you have been a horrible, sick individual, insulting people for different opinions and causing problems. The online warrior. I'm not answering any of your questions. Why should I? You are dodging my questions. You judges others and call them this or that.......You cry about Johnson, Tories and the government......Lets be honest they are better human beings than you. Again, start improving yourself and learn some manners before judging others. [Post edited 13 Jul 2023 11:50]

No, the public set the agenda. The Sun love publishing salacious celebrity stories because people want to read them or click on the headline. This has obviously become far worse since the internet led to a reluctance to pay for media. |  |

I answered your questions actually, so I think it's you who is being extremely discourteous. Given the individuals you support - the Tate brothers, Boris Johnson - it's safe to say you are not a good judge of character and so I will take your tirade as a compliment. If you aren't willing to actually engage in a discussion about your views on the Tates and the BBC and instead want to just rant at me then I think we've probably reached the end of the road here. |  |

I think it's less simplistic than that. The media frequently set or push the agenda rather than just reflecting it. Let's say, for example, the story about Huw Edwards had been about Boris Johnson. Do you think the Sun would have published the story with the same lack of due diligence to corroborate the parents' story? I think it's unlikely. |  |

You're right, but I think Radlet does have a point too in that the tabloids feed the public's thirst for salacious bollox. |  |

I've left this up but removed some of the rest of the thread. It's really not acceptable to attack anyone in the manner you are. And really not comfortable with an apparent defence of the Tates given the severity and unpleasantness of the charges they're facing and the views they promote. |  | |  |

Exactly, but enough people are interested in these stories, so they will continue to be published. I'm not saying that's something I like, just pointing out the way much of the modern media works. |  |

I went through a hundred and eighty degree turn of opinion when I listened to the Louis Theroux 'Grounded' interview with him, previously the over manicured appearance seemed very odd to me and I must admit to having a problem with men referring to themselves as another bloke's wife. My problem, not theirs. But listening to him talk about the need to look out for Big Brother contestants and then his position on the 'other family', something I can relate to, I realised that he is, as Bloots says, a good lad: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p08ybt1b |  |

i should imagine reasoned argument must sound like ranting to you. In fact. I expect anything that deviates from the 'master knows best' line, must sound like a rant. What is curious is given your obvious need to bleat out nonsense in defence of 'your betters' how come you have managed to stay silent for so long. I have never encountered your stuff on here previously. It is almost as if you normally post as another rightie. Perhaps you are like a golfer, and instead of having numerous clubs, you have a number of rightie characters to post as. As sort of forum Harry Enfield - Dick not Nice but Thick |  | |  |

You need to enlighten me on this, but what does David Baddiel’s racist caricature from nearly thirty years ago, which he has publicly apologised for in numerous occasions and finally, after far too long, apologised face to face to Jason Lee, have to do with his ability to comment on conspiracy theories? You do seem to have a rather unhealthy obsession with David Baddiel. Fancy saying that somebody from the BAME community cannot be a victim of racism if they are successful. Utterly disgusting view to hold imo. By your logic, Jason Lee asa successful Premier League footballer, couldn't be a victim of racism. Weird. [Post edited 13 Jul 2023 16:32]
