Watching with interest. I know no more than that (so far).

Setting phasers to woke...

Binglebong · 22/03/2019 22:42

Ok, it's about women getting abused for how they appear doing sport.

Well that was pointless.

Standing down peeps!

(phew)

Binglebong · 22/03/2019 23:07

Sorry, my fault for thinking a show originally about sport and the way people's bodies being different mean rules have to be modified for fairness would be interested about merging two classes of very different abilities create unfairness. Silly of me really. Sorry.

Don't fret @Binglebong, these are difficult times

AnyFucker · 22/03/2019 23:14

I don't find TLL all that woke, tbh

Hulo · 22/03/2019 23:17

I have a gut feeling that they'd tend towards GC but you can't be sure these days. That's why I'd be so disappointed if they weren't

andyoldlabour · 22/03/2019 23:18

For a long time now I have thought the LL totally pointless, a vacuum, totally out of touch with ordinary people and their concerns.
Three relatively young "woke" guys, what did you expect?

Toorahtoorahaye · 22/03/2019 23:25

Just tuned in late on +1. Sarah Pascoe? She has some interesting views on the topic.

UnWilly · 22/03/2019 23:26

Think I was more cross about much of the point about Fire Fighters being missed to be honest

CraXXed · 22/03/2019 23:34

I cancelled my LL recording set up after IWD. That was their last chance and they blew it. I am so disappointed, they were my A Team choice for shining a light on all of this madness way back when and they have just built a barrier around the elephant in the room week after week. I miss the ray of hope they were.

Binglebong · 22/03/2019 23:56

I used to love them. Then they were two faced over Brexit (follow your heart how you vote then you voted wrong, we're doomed by racists). I still watch occasionally but they have got more and more political and woke. Sad to see.

I didn't see this one - what did I miss?

CraXXed · 23/03/2019 21:11

Zip.

They said "It's IWD" and had a comedienne on from a nearby women's comedy night who got to say zip (and rightly looked suitably fucked off).

End of segment.

Seriously that was it. A plugged nod. It was embarrassing.

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 23/03/2019 21:16

And it was Kerri Godliman. I like her.

kaitlinktm · 23/03/2019 22:09

Typical - they get on my nerves now. Pretending to be edgy and inclusive but not really taking on anything controversial.

kaitlinktm · 23/03/2019 22:10

Not that IWD is controversial. Blush

MotherForkinShirtBalls · 23/03/2019 22:14

Dh stuck it on on playback so I was half watching. What's the point of them doing anything but brexit any more? It was something about Scottish words, two token two minute pieces, a lot of ads (netflix has me spoiled) and a lot of unfunny about brexit. I saw Adam Hills at a festival years ago and he was so fresh and funny. Shame.

MogPlus · 23/03/2019 23:22

I haven't watch it since they did a segment where they talked about people getting disability benefits for being fat and lazy. They should all have known better.

ZuttZeVootEeeVro · 24/03/2019 08:00

I'm surprised that they haven't talked about male people wanting to compete in women's sport.

I can't believe that they are unaware of the issue, given that they are marketed as a topical comedy show that had it's origins in sport.

I suspect it's because they are scared to comment because they don't want to be seen as being 'on the wrong side of history' but don't know what that side will be.

This is exactly what I think Zutt.
