First time ever making an actual complaint

[LaurieFairyCake]

I'm totally incensed.

Ive just emailed a complaint to the Bbc about sexist commentary during the final shot of the Open (golf)

Peter Alliss said about Kim Johnson (during her dh's winning putt) that she was looking on anxiously probably hoping to get a new kitchen if he won

Oh my god, did that actually happen???

Do it Laurie

That's disgraceful.

I hate the BBC so much.

It was mentioned on Woman's Hour on R4 earlier. They said as carefully as possible that Mr Alliss is 84 so it might be considered a generation thing. Funny, I thought dinosaurs died out a lot more than 80 years ago...

Oooh! I wonder if she has to give him a blow job to get a new hoover as well!

But yes, we really don't need feminism anymore....

If he's 84 and he can't follow broadcasting standards, perhaps they need to find someone who can?

I got such a palm off from the bbc after that NYE play where a woman gets a male guest drunk and tries to force him to have sex with her in the upstairs bathroom while his pregnant wife sat downstairs.

Apparently I was the only person in the world who found it inappropriate, it was a joke and that in BBC terms I should just eff the Jeff off.

But defo complain. It took a gazillion goes with Clarkson, but they got there in the end.

Clarkson had to actually assault someone before any notice was taken, though. If he'd just gone on being unfunnily offensive he'd still be there, never mind how many complained.

Sadly, yes.

I had a response

I view that as feeble. And hate the if you took offence instead of actually saying it was offensive.

Sounds similar to my bloody fob off

Why say 'if anyone was offended' when presumably your compliant indicated that you were in fact offended.

Some may argue that offence is taken rather than given.

Some may argue that offence is taken rather than given.

And they'd be wrong.

Maybe I should have stated 'Some may argue make a reasoned argument that offence is taken rather than given.'
