I think they just said they're covering the GRA tonight.

Why the fuck is chalkenor bring given airtime by the bbc on this? It’s outrageous

IfNotNowThenWooOoOoo · 18/10/2018 23:53

I have absolutely zero respect for the BBC's take on anything at all. Covering up abuses against women is what they are good at.
After all, they must have had a pretty good idea what Saville was up to ( everyone I know who ever met him knew he was at best a sleazy bastard).
It wouldn't surprise me if something is very rotten still in that organisation.

I actually find Debbie quite opaque in interviews. In writing, she's great, very clear message that she is against self ID. In this and the Women's Hour interview, I think that anyone new to the subject might struggle to understand where she stands. Just my opinion. I am very grateful , nevertheless, that she puts herself out there, it must be at great personal cost.

Challenor was a mess. Clearly a vulnerable adult with little by way of an intellectual reasoning. get over it

placemats · 18/10/2018 23:29

Ruth was brilliant and well supported by Debbie. They both held the rational and logical side of the debate.

With self ID you don't need any medication or even a dress

Ok, confession on my part, when I complained about the Sophie Cook interview on Newsnight earlier this week (the "womyn" debate), I asked them why they had not analysed the Karen White or David/Aimee Challenor cases. I got the expected patronising non response - but I wonder whether they decided to "analyse" it by giving AC a platform to play the victim.

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:57

Ruth was brilliant.
In what frigging sport do the advantages of growing up with the physical advantages of a male disappear after a year of "medication"?

Aimee who posted a picture of herself on loft ladders with a picture of a girl guide ?
Surely not

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:50

Someone mention Karen White, FFS!

dolorsit · 18/10/2018 22:48

They interviewed Challenor?

Hopefully bringing Challenor back into the limelight will prompt some reporters to revisit that whole episode.

Budgieinaberet · 18/10/2018 22:48

If you haven't seen it please read the We're still here thread (sorry for the derail)

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:45

Sorry, crossed with you, Etino

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:44

So they interview Aimee Challenor who spouted the usual stuff. The interviewer's commentary was that AC fell out with the Green Party because she carried on using her father as her election agent after he was charged with "criminal offences". Nothing about what those offences were and the fact that AC clearly stood by their father.

BBC - Biased (fucking) Bastard Cockwombles

IdahoCrow · 18/10/2018 22:43

The BBC is fucked up

Etino · 18/10/2018 22:39

@EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger Oo they did! ‘Allowed her father to act as election agent after he’d been charged with criminal offences’
Well that’s one way of putting it. Hardly comprehensive is it? Angry

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:39

After David Challenor was "charged with criminal offences" they say.
No mention of the rape and torture of a 10 year old in the family's 2 up 2 down. Fucking hell.

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:37

Amiee Challenor on Newsnight! !
Want to talk about your dad, Aimee?

Snowglobes · 18/10/2018 22:36

Makes my blood boil. Why oh why can’t more people see the bigger issue here.

CoolCarrie · 18/10/2018 22:36

Watching Newsnight now!!!

tobee · 18/10/2018 22:34

I still think that the media report in this way so frequently because trans is seen as a shiny new thing to latch on to. Shallow.

placemats · 18/10/2018 22:33

Oh and Charlie has spent thousands of pounds to ensure they pass. You can be sure of that.

HumberElla · 18/10/2018 22:33

TM just stated that the thousands of responses to the consultation that have been received show a real desire for reform??? The day before it closes? How has she managed to analyse 10000s of responses to a complex and dense consultation and come to that conclusion BEFORE it has finished?!!

Kimlek · 18/10/2018 22:33

Not remotely balanced
