Nope. The rapid segue to Brexit is still there.

Ally Fogg is a wanker (or, to use my new fave phrase of the week, courtesy of the ever-wonderful SwearyG, a self righteous bellend).

Yes to both Grin

If anyone can tell me what time the WomanWednesday kicks in, I’ll forward it - I’m on catch up.

Extended version on now, hoping for a bit more of a mention this time.

@swearyG l had to literally sit on my hands at work to stop myself from turning off radio2 at that segment. So biased a tearful distraught mother interviewed on how awful and evil all those opposed to self ID are. Well that's what l picked up from it!

I'd imagine that Jo (and others) had more to say, but it was edited out to make it fit in the time slot. I loved Jo's explanation back when #MeToo was jsut starting about how it's all the small stuff that has a gradual effect, not just the big stuff that everyone rightly finds objectionable

Ereshkigal · 26/05/2018 18:38

It made my morning Grin

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 26/05/2018 18:35

Watching Ally Fogg explode on Twitter has quite made my evening.

Ereshkigal · 26/05/2018 18:23

He's a stupid pompous arse with a love of arguing against feminists.

HelenaDove · 26/05/2018 15:06

He presents himself as a" justice warrior" So where was his indignation 5 weeks or so ago where they had a joke at the start of the show about a "faking" DLA claimant It was the one presented by Lee Mack.

PencilsInSpace - that Damned episode was the first time that I've ever seen a sympathetic portrayal of a relative of a newly transitioning person having a negative reaction to it on TV. I thought it was brilliantly done - compassion for both transitioner and relative, and a very pointed criticism of the wholesale cheerleading of our institutions regardless of the wellbeing of anyone other than the transitioner.

Excellent. And well done that person who pointed out that Labour is not the only organisation which is "acting ahead of the law"

BeyondPink · 26/05/2018 08:35

Jo's face when she says about Labour Party rules says it all, IMO Grin

boatyardblues · 26/05/2018 08:20

I agree the sudden segue to Brexit was glaring. Be interesting see whether any of what must have followed makes it into the longer version.

Cwenthryth · 26/05/2018 08:15

BBC One put the HIGNFY clip on their Twitter! Can’t quite believe it.

Hooray for Have I Got New For You. And for Mr Lewis. (If this were Wednesday, I would refer to Ms Lewis.)

LizzieSiddal · 26/05/2018 01:40

Please excuse typos.

LizzieSiddal · 26/05/2018 01:40

The BBC have to tread a very fine line but it’s at least they mentioned it.
A couple of weeks ago this show also said something about millennials spending all their money on smashed avicado and gender reassignment surgery😂.

The message is getting out there!

InTheRoseGarden · 26/05/2018 00:50

Good work David Smile

PencilsInSpace · 26/05/2018 00:35

Jo Brand is definitely gender critical.

NoSquirrels · 26/05/2018 00:02

The BBC will be editing that to within an inch of it’s life, I’ll bet. I wouldn’t expect to see much more on the extended version. Would be interested to know what the live audience heard...

BiologyNotBigotry · 26/05/2018 00:00

I'll be watching Have I Got More News For You this week to see if there's more. Given that Jo is a MNer & her general tone, I'm guessing she could say a lot more about it... G'wan Jo, I'm sure you can peak trans lots of people!

R0wantrees · 25/05/2018 22:55

There's usually an extended version of HIGNFY on another night,. Sometimes segments are extended.
