What a trivial excuse for not being able to decide what is or isn't watched in your own home! Ever since the sagging tit's brigade screamed for equality, men haven't had much say either at home or elsewhere, he may be allowed to hold the control, but if he wants to hear a programme rather than her nagging in the background, he had better switch to the channel she chooses.
:D

Like Jaysay, I rarely watch the news on Tv these days....I don't watch much TV full stop.
I rely on the internet....you can choose how much or how little to view......plus, do you know any house where the female is allowed to have control of the remote control(other than those where no man resides)?
i do know another house, its about 50/50 here.:)

No Less, not a trivial excuse at all.......my other half holds onto the remote control with the grip of a jewish miser(even when he is asleep and watching whatever is being played on the back of his eyelids).
I don't nag either, I accept that there is very little on the box that is worth nagging over....and let him have whatever he wants to watch, on the screen...but just let him dare to try and take over my internet....then the fur will fly.

There should have been a news blackout on this story.....well except for the local people, who really need to know what is going on.
This man is going to have been gloating at how he outwitted the authorities. Just what a man of his intellect needed...his ego being massaged by Sky News.
He has made the police look inept.
Or am I the only one who feels this way?
It's time that the media maggots who swarm like blowflies over everything and everybody in their rush to satisfy whatever leaning they adhere to were brought to book. I know from past experience that much valuable police time is inevitable wasted on dealing with these parasytes who are blatantly unable to accept the fact that their presence at any given major incident is both unwarranted and uneccessary, unless asked for. It is also fact that some trials have been affected by sub-judicy intervention by the media, but rarely have they been censured or brought to book for their irresponsible behaviour. Pity Moat didn't choose a reporter for target practice rather than the unfortunate police-officer who has been disfigured for life just for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Don't tar all women police officers with the same brush. I served for a while under a woman inspector, Wynn Darwin who had more about her than many of her male counterparts. So much so that a TV series was made parallelling her career and filmed in the Rossendale Valley. Don't recall the name of the series, but I know it was well received at the time.

Re: Moat - end of story
 
I see Moat's family are now critiscising the police. Does anyone recall them actually speaking to the media during the week critiscising Moat for committing murder and attempted murder ?

I know at times as an ex copper you're the nearest thing we have to an official voice, (notice I didn't say accurate):-

Sub judice - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You obviously did your last bit of revision before this act came into power, or maybe, because you were towards the end of your career, no longer felt the need for revision?

Quote:
Sub judice is now irrelevant to journalists because of the introduction of the Contempt of Court Act 1981. a substantial risk of serious prejudice can only be created by a media report when proceedings are active. Proceedings become active when there's an arrest, oral charge, issue of a warrant, or a summons.

Don't you mean this one Less?
Behind every dumb Shmuck there's a woman clearing up the mess :D

I am not a feminist, never was.....I believe that the maker of the universe made women to complement men....not to take their place.

I think your past experience with the female of the species has made you a tad cynical Less.

It was a humorous post.

Hence the wink.

;)

Though in my defence, her hair style is a shocking mess, and doesn't look very professional.

You end up watching the barnet, instead of listening to what she's saying.

True, it won't affect how she does the job, but in a position in which you are a media spokesperson, which she has been many times this past week, she should not have an apearance that is more noteworthy than what's being said.

No need to spend hours away from the investigation.

Two kirby grips, and an elastic band, would have done the job.

;)

...and in this case, appearance does matter.

She was wearing a uniform, not sat there in a trackie and her slippers.

Juliet Bravo, was the series, by the way.
