Define 'thick' please.

You wouldn't understand it.

No, come on big man you made the comment.

Is it because I didn't go to UNI or have a degree maybe?

Perhaps my 'keyboard skills' aren't up to your standard but I can chuck a sentence together adequately enough so what exactly IS 'thick' in your eyes?

"Come on, big man"

"Come on, big man"

Thought so, full of it as usual.

You're not entirely wrong. There's a fascinating article on conducting here - https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/n06/nicholas-spice/theirs-and-no-one-else-s

Dahhling I've never been 'entirely wrong' in my life .

And I'm not about to start now 😇

Interesting slant from yesterday. The 'left wing blob' attacking Fiona Bruce because she's a woman showing professional competence (or something like that).

Following all the promotion of that paper on this thread, I thought I'd dip in! An interesting read ...
" The issue, apparently, was the notion that Stanley Johnson’s actions could have been ‘a one-off’, something that according to Women’s Aid ‘is rarely, if ever’ the case. But Bruce was not suggesting that Johnson was innocent; she was simply stating the other view which, as any journalist knows, is the correct thing to do when the facts of a case are disputed. In other words, doing her job."
Yes, I'd agree with that.

"
Rude Hugh? Sounds typical!

Hugh Grant’s obnoxiousness towards poor Ashley Graham on the beige carpet at the Oscars really doesn’t surprise me.

In my experience, he has a way of making you feel utterly stupid and worthless, and seems to enjoy it. Such a contrast to the handsome, gentlemanly demeanour he presents.
"
I think that's very harsh - I think Grant was simply honest and straightforward in his interview. Pah!

Yes, I'd agree with that.

Is "the other view" a binary? Or, are there potentially many 'other' views, like, for example, the fact that Johnson's wife said that Johnson beat her on many occasions.

Why not state that 'other view' rather than quoting Johnsons friends who said it was a "one off".

That isn't journalism, its apologism.

Three options

1. It's reported that he broke his wife's nose, friends confirm it did happen.
2. It's reported that he broke his wife's nose, friends confirm it did happen but claim it was a one off.
3. It's reported that he broke his wife's nose, friends confirm it did happen, claim it was a one off but there are a significant number of other allegations which taken together describe a pattern of physical abuse in the relationship.

She halted the story at the most favourable point. (Least worst I suppose, none of it is exactly favourable.)

Back to Gullis, I see that he also said this:

"Let’s be clear, when I talk about upsetting people I’m talking about the Twitterati, the Wokerati of north Islington, those champagne socialists who pontificate all day."

Yeah. Lot of champagne sipping in Tottenham and Brent Cross.

And this guy is an MP.

Up is down, left is right, black is white, the plebs are the elite, the economic establishment is left wing, fascism is socialism, the country is both great and in need of change...

They've got nothing. It's a vacuum. Entropic heat death.

Have to disagree. There are a multitude of versions she could have been directed to state. Here's just a few more:
A) It's reported that he broke his wife's nose. No charges were made.
B) A book published in 2020 alleges that he broke wife's nose back in the 70s, requiring a hospital visit.
C) It's alleged ... <blah> Charlotte Johnson has since given more details of other incidents.
D) OK, let's look at this in detail. <15 mins disecting the alleged incidents, and the different accounts presented by friends, newspapers over 5 decades etc etc ... Time taken from discussion of several other issues ... >

She and the Beeb would get flak for every version!

There is an alternate history here: Refuge and co repeat earlier statements on Stanley's misdeeds. They do not crucify Bruce.
Then they give Bruce her chance to comment - after reflection [i.e. consult some advisors] - perhaps in some full-length interviews.

RESULT: lots of positive PR for REFUGE, and awareness of wife-beating in the upper echelons of UK Gov.

There are better hills to crucify Bruce on for her tory bias ...
