Rory and Alastair have deigned to discuss the ruling in their podcast… it would be great to see some more GC comments underneath this episode….

They’re dinosaurs. They lost me around the end of last year when Rory described the Rotherham/Rochdale/Oxfordshire/etc child grooming rings as “men paying girls for sex in parks” and various other offensive statements that dismissed the depth and illegality of the issue.

Ugh. I’ll have to listen to, but I might listen to the rational and fair Double Jeopardy guys first.

They had Professor Stock as a very early guest. They are calm and rational. Give them a listen!

I will listen but I know I’ll end up shouting at the “ radio”. These two are usually obsessed with facts … don’t tell me they have decided this is a fact that doesn’t count! I’m not surprised at Alistair as he’s trashed JK before , but I’ll be really annoyed if Rory agrees with him. Actually, I’m surprised they are even talking about it

I have been wondering if they would stop to talk about the Women's thing.

I shall give it a listen.

Yes definitely a stressful listen.
Especially disappointed at Alastair’s completely faux bafflement “I just don’t understand how those mean women can be celebrating when they’ve really upset some person I saw give a moving speech one time … oh and Jameela Jamil says, so it must be true “ give me fucking strength.

As a life long Labour supporter it just smacks of the old school sexist male Labour party issue. Thanks for fucking nothing guys.
Love Rory’s take though.

I boycott these two now. Their views on Afghanistan were abhorrent.

I won’t listen to all male political podcasts anymore.

I have pretty much stopped listening to them but listened to this episode. It was outrageous. Particularly Alistair. What a twerp.

He knows a friend's child, who is trans (female to male) who he misgendered and said his beliefs were attributed. To this relationship and his daughter.

I wonder how he will feel in a few years time when his friend's child can't have children, can't stay on tersterone because of the effects on the body and I'd experiencing other effects such as hair loss.

My position comes from wanting to protect children and young people from harm.

He was so scathing about JK Rowling, because she had a cigar.

I have been meaning to for ages, but this has led me to finally press the unsubscribe button.

Have you listened? Is it a stressful listen?! The latest Double Jeopardy is also just out 😊
