  4. If ‘she’ was so upset, why does ‘she’ refer to herself as “Miss P”?
    Either put up or shut up.

    She refers to herself as “Miss P” because she apparently values her privacy, which was also the basis on which she brought this court action – so I don’t see the conflict. Don’t understand what you’re getting at.

    sorry that should have read: more insults and a continued refusal to say what my suposed sins are.

    Is this all just because I chided you over the use of mysoginistic language?

    How childish.

    still everything but actualy explaining what I’ve done.

    I see I’ve actualy had as manny people defending me as joining in your childish insults.

    You’ve hyjacked the whole site because of (I’m assuming) your wounded pride after I chided you regarding the language you used on a thread. This site is for discusion NOT persoanl vendetas. Can you either post examples of why I’m a fundamentaliswt or stop this childish behaviour?

    Oh and don’t shout as I don’t like being drowned in spital.

    theotherone,
    I’m letting things ride for now but will carefully monitor your comments.

  17. It’s a generally accepted fact that once one has voluntarily appeared on TV it’s difficult to argue that rebroadcasting the same footage violates one’s privacy, unless the footage has been deliberately edit or put in an inappropriate context.

    On the other hand, Ofcom have weaseled out of upholding the complaint of unfair treatment – broadcasting Mr Duncan’s insulting remarks clearly added injury to insult. By allowing them to be broadcast unedited together with the clip the BBC have indeed shown extreme insensitivity.

    And Ofcom are most unlikely to uphold claims of homophobia and transphobia unless the incidents are so blatant as to amount to incitement to hatred. They will simply cite “freedom of expression”. Everyone is entitled to freedom of expression, but if that expression is insulting or abusive, appropriate consequences should follow.

    Security phrase – “south chretien” (you could not make that up)
