Having just watched the interview with Emily Maitlis, I just cannot make my mind up about him , I find it strange that he could not recollect having that photo taken with the girl with his arm around him , I thought he was very cautious with his answers, What do you all think ?

Oldwoman, if you haven't said your piece after a week and 8 pages,I'd give up.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 19:18:55

Yes, a need to control , sad really

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:13:59

Well let’s look at it this way, I’m not letting rampant misogyny go unchallenged. If that closes down a thread I don’t care - better than the alternative. You do not call alleged victims by their surname.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 19:09:35

Perhaps a need to control ?

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 19:09:16

Oh go on with you. You're all daft.

Don't take it so heavy.

Oldwoman70 Sat 23-Nov-19 19:05:48

However, Gonegirl and suziewoozie it is also totally pointless - although an effective way of closing down a thread -is that your intention?

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:02:14

You can’t discuss PA in any meaningful way if you are a misogynist

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 19:00:38

Tough

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 18:56:15

But unfair on posters who want to discuss the thread title

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 18:54:07

It's quite fun though Oldwoman.

Oldwoman70 Sat 23-Nov-19 18:52:00

I read somewhere that arguing on the internet with someone you don't know is like arguing with a parking meter - you can do it but nobody wins.

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 18:37:26

The use of the word ‘mind’ is based on an assumption that i feel is not really warranted #notgivinguponchallengingmisogynyandneithershouldanyoneelse

suzie, there are people on this forum who spend a lot of time here and have certain obsessions and a certain following . You will never succeed in changing their mind or the mind of their merry little gang.

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 18:22:25

Wow well just wow. Go on the murdered in NZ thread and see how surnames are used

merlotgran Sat 23-Nov-19 17:45:04

You can accuse me of many things but pearl clutching will never be one of them! grin

grapefruitpip Sat 23-Nov-19 17:21:48

Blimey some people would argue about well....er anything really.

Anniebach Sat 23-Nov-19 17:20:47

Calling a man by surname only is acceptable, calling a woman by her surname isn’t? Equality ?

Hepburn, Bergman, Du Maurier, Callas, Thatcher, and many , many more

suziewoozie Sat 23-Nov-19 17:08:36

Lots of pearl clutching going on here and silly judgements on other people lives. I didn’t know VR was an author /composer/artist/ political leader? Must have missed that one. Silly me. Is that meant really to be a serious defence of calling her by her surname ???

merlotgran Sat 23-Nov-19 16:59:04

I've never thought it was insulting either. Authors are frequently referred to by their surnames.

Atqui Sat 23-Nov-19 16:47:53

Sarah Ferguson’s behaviour is not all that is “unbelievable”.
By the way , many people refer to others by their surname. It’s not necessarily an insult e.g. Mozart,Picasso,Corbyn,

Calendargirl Sat 23-Nov-19 16:39:19

Well, it was a week ago tonight that the infamous documentary was broadcast. If Andrew could turn back time, what would he do?
Answers on a postcard please!

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 16:02:42

And always the same posters ready to put the boot in. Who actually is nasty?

craftyone Sat 23-Nov-19 16:00:50

yes chewbacca, it is always the same few who destroy threads through their nastiness. They must have incredibly boring lives. I feel so sorry for them, what a way to live

Gonegirl Sat 23-Nov-19 15:56:23

I was trying to make it better.

grapefruitpip Sat 23-Nov-19 15:56:02

It's beyond the bounds of normal behaviour .
