MTV with their lefty bullcensoredt. I don't watch it, but recently, they've been over social media and this morning, the news.

They did their "new years resolution for white people" video. That video basically explained that only white people can be racist and oddly enough, that was never pulled or reacted to in outrage.

This morning, they've decided to remove gender from awards, now becoming "gender neutral".

Presumably with no foresight to allow them more PC bcensoredks manoeuvrability when or if the majority of winners are men and the sensitive snowflake SJW cry sexism.

Let's fcensoredk science and biology out the window in order to conform with the ideas of a few sensitive and easily offended biological men or women who do not wish to be identified as either.

Fcensoreding morons.

laugh what's the science and biology that says women and men can't compete on an even playing field to create pop songs and videos? it's not the Olympic 100 metres or powerlifting

Exactly...I'm far from being a liberal but I don't see the issue with both (yes both and not 'all') sexes competing for the same award.

Seems logical to me.

You deny the existence of people like Caster Semenya, and would exclude them from society? Surely not.

Is it not?

I genuinely didn't think there were other configurations? I'm not talking about 'social gender roles', just scientific gender of an human organism. I've always thought that humans had either male or female DNA.

The woman whose mobile phone rang twice during the eulogy at the funeral I attended this morning.

Disrespectful bh - if she had answered it I would have slung her out of the church.

Exactly the same incident put me off mobiles for life. I do have one though, but it's always switched off. Only used for pics of the grandchildren.

Sky Sports presenters who lose their voice but insist on carrying on, and the floor managers who let them.....

My TV screen is still in one piece (just) but feck me it's annoying. If she can hardly speak FFS put someone else in her place. There must be someone in the studio who can talk in a half-intelligent way- don't they have subs standing by?

( Sheffield Wed v. Newcastle on at the moment. Half-time chat was wrecked by this cow).

You are aware that you can switch a phone to silent? You don't actually have to turn it off to stop it from making a noise.

On my OnePlus 3 there is even a physical slider just above the volume buttons for normal, priority, and silent.

Thanks for the info, but I'm quite happy as things are. I rule the phone, not the phone ruling me.

Groups of my family is more important than yours, north face/hunter clad middle types and groups who think they are on the set of TOWIE at Centre Parcs last week.
