Should Eastenders be cancelled for depicting suicide, violence, drug abuse ect? Are they inciting their viewers to do the same?

I think the country needs to have a serious debate on getting rid of the soap operas.

Hardly comparable Alf. One is a fictional TV Shows with Fictional characters the other is a man with a lot of media influence suggesting this is what should happen to a real person (who already has a lot of people who strongly dislike her)

Clarkson doesn't tell jokes, he sells himself as an entity in the media. In order to gain attention, part of his job is to be controversial. Some people may find it funny, others not, that's not the point of what he is doing, the point is to gain attention

Nah, I reckon most people would laugh if it was as well worded as Clarksons was. I know I did with trump and boris when I read or watched satirical stuff.

So I dont think your crystal ball is accurate this time Liam.

And where we are as a society is paedos now being called minor attracted persons so they can be seen as more acceptable in society. That's where you should be aiming your angst..not at some people finding some old blokes words funny.

I say it is comparable. And what I say goes, because I want my own way too.

Eastenders have media influence. They're characters are influential on their viewers

Are they not suing him? I guess they can't because it was a quote from a TV show?

Livia 19-01-2023 01:33 PM

Love Clarkson... he always makes me laugh. I've had worse said about me by people from this forum. And no fucks are given.

rusticgal 19-01-2023 04:52 PM

What makes me laugh is that if JC had said this about Katie Hopkins people wouldn't bat an eyelid....

I would.
Because as much as I dislike Hopkins, there's no way I'd support just as a jjoke or meant, the parading of anyone, male or female, through the streets naked, having other people's mess thrown at them.

No need for that at all.
In fact that anyone could even mean it or joke about it simply disgusts me.
Let alone a man the age Clarkson is.

If Kate had done anything to deserve that kind of dig I would have found it equally as amusing…
However I have always stated I don’t think the comment was appropriate for publishing and as I have said it should have been said amongst people who get his sense of humour privately….

The internet world made a joke out of 2 women pooping then eating a cup of excrement...this is nothing compared to that.

Equally disgusted would I be with that.

I'm afraid I'm not much on humour of any kind anyway.
However this kind of tasteless sick humour or acts just totally disgust me.

So I'd rather stay humourless than consider things like this as anything of humour or necessary.

Look parmnion!!!
I was brought up my parents to be respectful.

Even if I dislike someone I never wish anyone personal harm.
I wouldn't even joke about it.

I'll stick with how my Parents and Grandparents brought me up to be.
Frankly I couldn't care whether you believe me or not.

I think you want to stop questioning people's integrity and inferring they are lying.
This is not the first time on this forum over the years that you've said you don't believe me, well that's YOUR problem not mine.

Best I avoid you from now on

This disappoints me.

As does your judgemental limitations you set upon your friends.How easily you would cut them off as well disturbs me greatly.

Fgs, we are falling out about some mad old farmers ramblings. Get a grip for goodness sake.

I never thought that I'd defend Eastenders.

But you're comparing fictional storylines that are meant to spark discussion about said topics that can happen in real life, to a rant about having someone stripped naked in public, and throw **** at her.

I agree with you on the Paedo stuff, they should never be accepted in society, and hopefully they never will be accepted in society.
