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

Watching...

DeRigueurMortis · 18/10/2018 22:09

Odds on balanced reporting?

I'm not hopeful.

My guess in advance, emotive language from the trans lobby, who also get the last word.

I hope to be corrected.

I think it's a repeat of a piece from the earlier news. They have a female car racer - not sure their legal status - blethering on about living as a woman.

LittlePearl · 18/10/2018 22:13

I've been disappointed so many times that these days when I hear there's going to be a conversation I'm actually as likely to switch off as I am to switch on.

My nerves are shredded and I get sooooooo angry.

But David Davies on Radio 4 tonight was great, really glad I caught that.

My blood pressure can't take it.

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:23

The person they are featuring is good looking and drives a racing car - the embodiment of brave and stunning, no doubt, to the BBC woke bros. Yet, still no analysis of the Karen White case on this BBC's coverage, because Karen rather spoils the propaganda being pushed by the BBC on this.

I am betting there will be very little in the way of presenting the concerns of the GC. We will be dismissed as meanie bigots.

On now........

I'm pissed off at Theresa May seeming to know what the consultation results are going to say when it hasn't even closed yet ...

adulthumanandtired · 18/10/2018 22:29

Jess Philips?! what

DeRigueurMortis · 18/10/2018 22:31

Typical....most airtime for the trans woman and the end comment as predicted....

OldCrone · 18/10/2018 22:31

Kathleen Stock is going to be on Newsnight starting now.

LittlePearl · 18/10/2018 22:32

'.....the same rights as everyone else.'

Which are, what, exactly?

Well I won my bet with myself who the last word would be about.

Nothing mentioned about safe guarding. 😡

Velella · 18/10/2018 22:32

A rare passing TW. Images so important.

This TW "just wants the same rights as everyone else". If there was journalism worth its salt the TW would be asked "which rights don't you have now".

placemats · 18/10/2018 22:32

So Teresa May has indicated that it's a foregone conclusion.

This is a woman who walks around on the international stage with a chain around her neck and who is leading this country into a cul de sac of indecision.

FekkoTheLawyer · 18/10/2018 22:32

No hairy ugly 'females' eh? What that about the person who lamped Maria? The % of 'females' with testicles?

Tough shit if a pretty pushy blonde says they are 'female'. If they have a penis...

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:33

And of course, the trans person gets the last word.

So other minorities don't have to prove themselves, do they?

Tell that to someone trying to get disability benefits. Tell that to sonmeone caught up in the Windrush scandal or anyone trying to navigate the immigration system.

They don't want the same rights. There are no rights they don't have already. They want more rights. Transwomen are women but better women who deserve more rights, not the shit ticket society has handed those of us born with a vagina.

Kimlek · 18/10/2018 22:33

Not remotely balanced

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?!!

placemats · 18/10/2018 22:33

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

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.

CoolCarrie · 18/10/2018 22:36

Watching Newsnight now!!!

Snowglobes · 18/10/2018 22:36

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

EchoGivesNarcissusTheFinger · 18/10/2018 22:37

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

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.
