BBC pulls MasterChef Christmas specials after Wallace claims

I wonder if there'll be bootleg copies floating about the Pirate Bay Thinking

The BBC are absolutely revelling in this: "Look at us! Aren't we so noble! Huw who?! Never heard of him."

This really grinds my gears. Ok so if it turns out he is actually groping people that’s one thing, but innuendo then FFS just roll with it, either join in or ignore it. The irony is all this noise about the impact on people this sort of thing has, what about the negative impact on all those people who get mental relief from such banter that now feel like they have to tread on eggshells forever more.

I don’t know, maybe I’m “out of touch” (not a pun) or insensitive, but IMO it’s all got a bit bloody ridiculous.

There’s a difference between what you’re describing and what he is accused of. That nudge-nudge wink-wink sort of innuendo is one thing. It’s unimaginative*, crass and basic but unlikely to offend.

What GW is accused of is sexual references to himself, his sex life, his physique. He is accused of making sexual references in the workplace, to any woman he encounters in a professional role. His behaviour (if true) displays an unhealthy obsession with sex and an intention to embarrass or dominate women. It’s not flirtatious or designed to amuse anyone other than himself.

Sid James he ain’tRolling Eyes

* Except when it’s about Samantha or Sven on ISIHAC Laughing

This is all true and we should reinstate the death penalty just for him.

Bits and pieces of it could be completely innocent but the whole thing has been stitched together like some grand tapestry of misogyny! If I had a pound every time someone did or said something slightly inappropriate while I've been working...

"That's different! You're a man!" Oh really? So much for equality Wink It's about who's in charge and whether they're abusing their position. Shock News! Females can be predatory too.

The choices, in my experience, are deescalate or withdraw labour. "Oh, I couldn't walk out, I need the money." Mmm... that says something doesn't it.
