Nah, we don't usually delete stuff like this, its only if it goes into (or starts with) bickering thats offtopic. I would think that even if this was deemed in the wrong place, the posts would be copied off to a new thread so it could be discussed properly in there. Not often at all we delete well thought out posts :)

Quite.

I wish more 'debates' were like that tbh. We can easily disagree, without insulting each other IMO.

What an utter mess that interview is. I think his "jokes" are insensitive and not acceptable - that shouldn't be hard to successfully argue - but this shambles makes it look impossible?? The attempt to address the issue here is painful to watch. The BBC really is verging on complete incompetence these days in my opinion, it's just two people talking over each other and the interviewer reading out A4 sheets of twitter comments like they mean anything at all when picked out with an agenda... it's just unreal. No attempt at all at ANY sort of dialogue. WHERE is the actual reasoned debate?

Also LOL at accusing journalists of 'coercive control' for reporting on stuff.

Total victim complex that dude has.
