You were shown otherwise so at least now you won't make that claim again.

What? :joker:

He's hated for his bigoted views.

This x100

I'd put a child with a gay couple over these dinosaur views every time.

The straw grasping has reached new highs

Time to abandon ship

I didn't make a claim. I said I suspected that 50% would be against. I was wrong. But as it was only a guess, who cares?

As it turns out, a kind forum member showed me that a huge 31% (20 million people) are against it and I will use that figure as fact in future.


See how you can actually learn something and progress in debate?

So why wasn't Jim Davidson hated for actually slinging homophobic abuse at Brian Dowling?

This was not touched on in the house nor referenced to. The past was left in the past with Jim but Winston's actions and comments were made/backed up in the house.

Stop the excuses now :pat:

:joker:

I thought his speech was cringeworthy. He was loving having an audience and prattling on about himself. Who does he think he is, the arrogant little twat.
"You can put your hands up if you have a question and I'll give you all 15 minutes. WTF? He's a joke. :laugh:

He reminded me of primary school teacher trying to control their class. :joker:

How embarrassing

This.

I can't be arsed to reply.

Wasn't it? I could hardly bear to watch. Awful.

Brian Dowling was a friend and colleague of Emma. Jim Davidson reduced him to tears with words like "shirtlifter" and "****". Yet emma was all over jim Davidson. Funny that.

Almost like she doesn't really give a toss about homophobia and was just slating Winston for the contriversy.

Wasn't Hell's Kitchen on like 12yrs ago

Surely if is only 31% of people asked, not the 20 million, that would mean every adult and child in Britain had answered the question/poll.

No it was on in 2007.

Does time make a difference? In 12 years will Winstons comments be OK?

Winston is one of the dumbest people on the face on the Earth.

So 9yrs ago then. About the same time everyone stopped caring.

I suggest you learn how polls work. They take a representative sample and then extrapolate to the whole population.

If you really want to argue it doesn't reflect the views of the whole public then that means the 53% figure also has to be rejected.

Do you want to go with that?

Yep, if it makes it easier for you.

it was 7 years before jim Davidson appeared in CBB.

So are you saying in 7 years Winstons comments won't matter any more. Fair enough.

Anyone that votes against equality is a douchebag so I don't quite get the argument. Are you sayin because so many people agree with winstons ignorant homophobic views that makes them correct? It doesn't.

Great, so I will go back to guessing that 50% are against.

Or maybe she thought that Jim had a fan base and dissing him would backfire, but Winston was a sacrificial lamb laid out for her to butcher according to the wishes of her puppet masters and she tried but failed miserably as both an interviewer and a person.

Emma picked and prayed on the weak and destroyed man before her but sadly for her, he fought back and made her look incredibly nasty. Anyway if she had have gone at Davidson like that he would have taken her to school and left parts of her all over the cutting room floor. Davidson is and was a master deceptive and knew how to play the game, Winston was like a kid in the street beaten up by 14 other kids and the school bully came in too early thinking he was punched out.
