OMG The Unbelievable Truth Radio 4!

[FlamingoAndJohn]

It’s a comedy panel show where the participants are given a topic to talk nonsense about and hiding 5 truths in the speech.

The topic that Frankie Boyle has was ‘women’.
David Mitchell introduced the topic as ‘adult human female’!

I always assumed Frankie Boyle was equal opportunities offensive? Ie, will be unspeakably rude about anyone!
I have a lot more time for offensive comedians who are happy to offend anyone (including myself!) than those who just pick on one group if that makes sense.

I heard this too and was They must know.
Frankie Boyle is woketastic.

I'm guessing mitch ell will now be sacked and hounded on social media for not putting trans women front and centre at every opportunity.

There are some male celebrities I would be particularly disappointed if they are not GC - DM is one. David Baddiel is another.

Taking a punt but I think I won’t be...

FB - yawn.

Definitely deliberate and absolutely top notch trolling. Bravo.

It's at about 20 mins in, great stuff!

Sara Pascoe is quite TWAW as well.

I heard this too and thought the same thing! But I was a bit worried that Boyle was going to come up with some woman-hating TWAW shit. Or just woman-hating shit in general.

ThinEnd - Baddiel certainly stood up for JKR.

Well if DM wasn't GC i'd be baffled. He's Mr Voice Of Common Sense isn't he? I think that's how he thinks of himself anyway

He’s been very fucking quiet on all this where he’s usually quite forthright.

No shouting on Twitter as I can see, but a couple of adult human females sniggering.

Is 'feedback' on at the moment? Bet there'll be an organised complaint campaign from the TRA

RoyalCorgi

I’ll double the punt then!

I always assumed Frankie Boyle was equal opportunities offensive? Ie, will be unspeakably rude about anyone!

No, there's a special group of males he won't be rude about.

Sara Pascoe thinks that taking the piss out of women who don't want to or can't share toilets with men is edgy.

20m in.

Excellent. Thank for the listen. Funny and I would swear the detail about the fetuses (fetii?) was also quite pointed ... Hadn't heard it before, I'll add that to my list.

Upstart Crow with David M and written by Ben Elton can be gently GC.

Who could have imagined the day when stating that women are adult human females would have had us cheering the wireless and trembling for the fate that might befall a decent human being being for daring to voice it?

It would break my heart if Victoria Coren spouted genderwoo.

I so much hope Victoria Coren is too intelligent and outspoken to spout unscience? You’re right partystress, that would be too painful.

It would break my heart if Victoria Coren spouted genderwoo.

Pretty sure she wrote a subtly GC column once. And her brother, though a knob and a shameful secret crush of mine gets it.

Victoria Coren has had a snigger at Have I Got News For You identity jokes made by Ian Hislop.

I feel like that too partystress

It would break my heart if Victoria Coren spouted genderwoo

Mine too. She is way too sensible to agree girl crush

I'm sure that that was deliberate. Ha ha, brilliant

I always wonder how much the media people talk on this behind the scenes. I mean, Glinner must know a lot of people in the entertainment biz. Robert Webb does. Gia does. There must be some talking going on.

Baddiel has already spoken up

"I always wonder how much the media people talk on this behind the scenes. I mean, Glinner must know a lot of people in the entertainment biz. Robert Webb does. Gia does. There must be some talking going on."

I wonder how they know who it is safe to talk to about it? I bet there are some right shit-weasels who would squeal to the press if they thought it would dislodge someone higher up the ladder so they could move up a rung.

GC celebs need to get Posie's Covid-masks!

"So Draco was the good guy afterall....."

"I've done the mask so the mask says, doesn't say woman, and it does say "mask" because then you know, if you see one, and people know if they're wearing one, and you clock them, they all know where it's come from and so they'll know where it's come from and you'll know that they know, and it is really, it's it's a nice thing you know. I've had people who can't talk to any of their friends about it and then they wear something and they recognize somebody wearing it as well and people have become friends. People have known that they can talk about it."
