That isn't a crime, she isn't hurting anyone else.

My own grandmother was the same, she didn't like you draping all over each other in her presence. She wouldn't have wanted to watch me kissing anyone or lap sitting or anything like that. I think this discomfort stemmed from her own life and being raised at a time when people didn't display public affection.

In 2018 we have almost shifted to the other end of the spectrum when you look at shows like Geordie Shore where people have a lot of casual sex on tv. Even BB and CBB have been all about the showmances, and people jumping into bed together.

In some ways Ann's disapproval comes from a different time when moral standards were different but it does make you wonder if society has gone a bit far in the wrong direction with this. Maybe to a degree she has a point. We have almost become immune to the degree of sexuality we are viewing on TV.

If I'm honest I watch BB for the drams and I enjoy seeing the social experiment side to it which has had a wonderful reboot in this years show. But I can't say I really enjoy seeing some Towie/Geordie bird with her tits out or Wayne Sleep's todger. I'd be mortified if I was watching one of my kids behaving in the same way. I'm not even a prude but it isn't what keeps me interested and it's not what I watch for so I can kind of understand Ann to a point not wanting to watch all that stuff, particularly live and right in front of her.

I think a lot of the people criticising her are on the wrong track and a lot of people are influenced by what they've read about her long past voting inclinations in her job as an MP. Even there some of the influence is without the context of her reasoning behind how she voted at the time. She doesn't have an ism or a phobia, she is old fashioned and the product of a different generation.

I know if my nan or granddad saw some of the things they show on TV now ,they would be spinning in their graves, my mom was brought up quite strictly , she wasn't allowed a bath when she had a period as it was deemed unclean , two people of the same sex kissing was never seen and would have been frowned upon , she could not wear short skirts, show any desire for pop stars etc,they were lovely people apparently,she loved them they were kind and looked after her well,but very strict especially sex wise,lots of people were like that then,Ann is no different infact she is probably a bit more liberal,but to try and label her with some of the names on here is stupid,she is just of a different generation, not everyone is comfy with watching other people fawn about over each other, she has never been nasty to anyone in the house,she has her opinions airs them and that's it,if they get butt hurt by it that their problem.
