Don’t tell us what we are offended by
❑ ‘this program contains outdated attitudes which may cause offence.’ this was a ‘trigger warning’ and prelude to watching a hitchcock presents half hour program, ‘(flight to the east s3 ep25). 2 things – who feels it necessary and feel the need to tell me there may be outdated attitudes, and also that they may cause ‘offence.’ outdated to who? offensive to who? for what its worth, i watched the episode and was waiting to see if anything ‘offended’ me and nothing in it did. the only thing that may have caused peoples ears to prick up, was people having a fag on an aeroplane, and some of the acting was pretty hammy. dave from coppull
❑ BBC NEWS other progs / stations disclaimers say ‘viewers are reminded they may find some of the images and viewing disturbing.’ There were never this many instances ie disfigured bodies blurred BUT now NOT blurred. BBC 2 Ukraine Enemy in the woods highlighted as a news item as were badly beaten terrorists in Russian glass backed courtrooms. With affinity to neither torturer or terrorist why show that UK. Naysayers say ‘Don’t watch it then’ sometimes unavoidable. News stations escalating two war coverage need necessary pitiful humanitarian scenes BUT they persist ‘pushing the boat out’ with yet more gory sensationalism. I’m no prude but it’s getting worse!

❑ So Hunt says he will honour the triple lock if they win, another lie, with pensioners excluded from the tax cuts he steals 20% back. Barry Tunbridge Wells
❑ ‘Biggles’ Sunak claims voters need only look at Birmingham to see what the country will be like if they vote Labour. Alternatively, they could look at any of the eight other councils declared bankrupt, or the ninety percent of the rest that are on the brink, councils of all political persuasions. Why so many? The social care time bomb that the Tories have done nothing to solve, 40-50% budget cuts under austerity and, in Birmingham’s case, the loss of an historic equal pay case have a lot to do with it.
