Let me help you with that tricky punctuation, Freddie.

Yep, there are some female refuse collectors around these parts; Bolton council actively recruit them and I remember seeing a news item in the early '90s about Cambridge doing the same - so I expect there's shit loads around the country you fucking imbecile. Don't know about minimum wage, but it will the same rate for either sex.

Yep, my mate regularly works with a couple, one's a general labourer the other's a chippy. I'd put good money on there being thousands of them, you cretinous cunt.

Yep, Carlita's job is more physically demanding than mine and I know a hell of a lot of nurses (we have a HUGE teaching hospital here) and I'd like to see you say that to any of their faces, you snivelling little shit stain.

Next!

It's not really BBC bashing at all but lesbian bashing.

It's BBC + woman + gay bashing. An opportunity for Beeb-haters to appeal to homophobes, and for misogynists and homophobes to dress their prejudices in more acceptable anti-licence fee rhetoric. Cunts, the lot of them.

And it's based on a quote (of extreme banality) which is a) taken completely of context, and b) lifted from another newspaper. Which makes Dacre the biggest cunt of all.

They all want reporting, as they are against the Mail's avowed T&C.
They also want feeding in to Leveson.

Compare and contrast with a story about another presenter:

Me and my girl: Overjoyed Kate Silverton shows off baby Clemency outside ITV studios

Quote:

She's the 'miracle child' Kate Silverton never thought she'd have … Kate looked smart in fitted pale beige trousers [etc] … Kate spent two years undergoing IVF treatment, and after four failed attempts thought she had lost all hope of becoming a mother.

Her job as a 'BBC presenter' is mentioned for the first time in paragraph 12.

No readers' comments about IVF being 'very modern' or unnatural.

But a lot of comments about Victoria Beckham - all nasty.
Some people just can't be pleased for other people, can they?

Mail grammar fail "never thought she'd have" should surely be "thought she'd never have".

And another bit of shite from Fred.

Quote:

Misogyny, absolute bull****, men have to work in the most hard working industries if they are able to get jobs at all in this feminized non job country. The only well paid jobs are in government and local authorities which are full of women sitting in heated offices. Ever see a woman dustman on minimum wage, no, ever see a woman on a construction project in freezing weather, no, ever see a woman doing any job that does not involve sitting and looking pretty, no. Name me a woman that has any standing in the business community from real life and she will be unique in that sphere. Nail bars and hairdressing are excluded because they are just pin money hobbies supported by a working man who has a proper business.

Reading that, I console myself with the knowledge that Fred will die alone and a virgin.

Yep, I have, me.

Seriously, although you do find a few women in construction/refuse collection/plumbing and so on, has it not occured to Fred that one of the reasons why you don't find mote of them is because, oh I don't know...they're too nervous to apply because they're worried about having to deal with sexist old cunts like you every day?

People don't just want a paycheck each week from their jobs, they want respect from colleagues in a pleasant working enviroment. If all you've ever been expected from a particular industry is sexist abuse, snide comments and backstabbing by less qualified jealous men, you are unlikely to rush to the job centre to find vacancies in that field are you?

"Fred, Kent"

That's 'Kent' as in the old chaucerian spelling isn't it?

Quite. It's a favourite tactic among insecure dudes to define 'real' work as manual labour that involves physical hardship and, preferably, power tools. An eight-hour stint cleaning offices is probably as physically demanding as a day spent drilling, but it isn't recognised by cunts like fred who often think that a love of cleaning is part of a woman's DNA. Administrative work is even less appreciated, since not only does it take place indoors, but it also involves keeping records and following procedures — petty, time-wasting activities that impinge on an Englishman's God-given right to do as he fucking well pleases, all day, every day.

Or RP pronunciation as heard in 1940s films where "toast" is pronounced as "taste", "five" as "fife" etc
"Freddie's a bit of a kent, don't cha know"

Now here's the thing: If I understand the history of these things correctly, the BBC had the (questionably) original idea of a show where your "celebs" competed in a bit of a dancing competition first. ITV then seems to have come along and observed that this format was quite successful, and must have thought long and hard about how they could get a similar success without just blatantly copying the format (god forbid).

How I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when the idea was finally put to the ITV commissioning exec. A programme that is IDENTICAL to "Strictly Come Dancing"' except that everyone wears skates, and the dancing happens on an ice rink. In fact, we'll call it "Dancing on Ice". Brilliant.

You think that's bad, there's a new american reality show about African Princes who are trying to find wives in the US while not revealing their true identity.
Yes, they have actually made a reality show based on the Eddie Murphy film "Coming to America".

They may have bought the format from the Beeb

Why is the BBC wasting our money on formats that it sells to other broadcasters? No other business could survive if it did things like that.

"It's not a proper job unless you've got your hands dirty." The cry of ignorant, backward-looking bigots down the years. From the makers of "We don't make things anymore."
