As Harry Hill Says....

"There's only one way to find out..."

Trouble is, who wants to see Julie Bindel mudwrestle the NUS 'women's officer', Olivia Bailey..?

Still, it's nice to see Beatrix Campbell belatedly discovering that it's ok to be offensive:
Index on Censorship reminds us that conflict and controversy are essential to civil society. "There is no right not to be offended," says Padraig Reidy, Index spokesperson. "To imagine that you should be protected from offense to your sensibilities is neither realistic nor desirable."
We'll see how long it takes until her ox is gored and she's screaming for just the same right to force people to be silent.

    Let's ask him about Bog-trotters, Plastic Paddies and niggers and see where it gets us, shall we?

    I saw the piccie of Campbell OBE on the CIF piece and thought it was Tracy Beaker authoress Jaqueline Wilson. Having said that, both of them could pass for a post diet version of Vizs' Millie Tant.

    Pure comedy gold, Viz really should get Campbell to write for them. A mistress of self satire along with Julie Bindel.

    Campbell and Bindel attack the wider worlds stereotypes from the comfort of their own self delusion. Both are self stereotyped radical femminists and then get angry when people dont take them seriously!

    As commented by the rational people in another place I inhabit the only winners in this are Bindel et al who have gained yet more publicity for their views because a bunch of children couldn't ignore an irrelevance.

    A pox on both their houses.

    "...and see where it gets us, shall we?"

    After he's been revived, of course.

    "Both are self stereotyped radical femminists and then get angry when people dont take them seriously!"

    It's hard to do so, no matter what they say!

    "That mud-wrestling....gotta link for the tickets?"

    It would need The Music to be really effective.

    "...who have gained yet more publicity for their views because a bunch of children couldn't ignore an irrelevance."

    Indeed, very much an own goal., that one...

    Those two mud wrestling would be strangely compelling. In a Benny Hill kind of way.
