Open and honest chat. Refreshing.

what did Ash Sarker say?
I despise her so utterly, I couldn't bear it if she was GC.

Completely agree. And Janice Turner was really on form in that interview. I too like MC but it made you realise men just don’t care.

👆🏻This. It's really not worth their while. I suspect many view it as a handbags at dawn situation. Amusing, bemusing, frivolous, insignificant.

I like MC but, when he had Janice Turner on with Matthew Parris a few months ago, and they discussed TRAs, Matt just laughed when Janice was describing some of the madness. He didn't take the threat to women's rights seriously at all, and MP was (predictably) all "But why can't women just be kind"?

It's good isn't it? I started listening last week and I've retuned my radio now ( set to radio 4 these last 15 years).

It's just a bit less tense.

The best bit of Times Radio is Matt Chorley every day from 10 til 1, he's hilarious and absolutely bullshit free

Mariella didn't say anything GC herself, but she was polite and friendly and unchallenging when the guest said that women were adult human females etc and seemed to agree that the average person in the street wouldn't have any idea this was even controversial.

Goodness, I didn't know about this channel.

It looks like R4, but, where people are allowed to say that women are people too?

Here's the catchup link:

Pleased to hear that she's GC. I read on here that she was completely woke, so stopped listening.

Wow, is Mariella GC? That is a very welcome surprise if so.

thecompletenonsequitur · 10/09/2020 13:37

Siablue it´s on DAB and I think on ap.

thecompletenonsequitur · 10/09/2020 13:35

I'll have to listen again on catch up later.

And it looks like I missed Dr Jane Clare Jones.

Siablue · 10/09/2020 13:31

Not listening but the Helen is Helen Pluckrose. She has written a book called cynical theories which is a critique of all the social justice stuff. I saw this on her Twitter.

How do you listen to Times Radio?

thecompletenonsequitur · 10/09/2020 13:29

Oh, and Ash Sarkar...

thecompletenonsequitur · 10/09/2020 13:26

Just tuned in. Do you know who the other two are? Joanna someone and Helen someone.
