Did anyone else watch this?
I soon turned off and sent this comment to the Beeb:
"Unfortunately the debate itself was unfair and unrepresentative. Mr Sandel called on far more men to comment and debate than he did women,so many salient points were ignored.
Men do not live as the majority population, women, do and are ignorant of their (unpaid) role as carer and domestic and the skills and intelligence integral in doing these activities successfully. That is why professional carers and cleaners ( and nurses and primary school teachers) are so appallingly badly paid and why footballers are ridiculously overpaid(it's only a game!). Mr Sandel also asserts that it is only through education that one can improve one's living standards and pay,going on to address university fees, but education and attitudes to education begin in the home. Who's most likely to inculcate those attitudes right from the start? Mum. let's redress the balance! Starting with the BBC!"
