Kirsty Young is talking about an industry wide problem. Most TV execs ARE men and most women working in TV are pretty and young, and that includes behind the camera too. It's not an industry where there's exactly a lack of people wanting to get into it either so the powers of those already in there to change that culture are limited.


There is an idea and it is the same in the music industry and film industry, that younger women are preferable to older women whereas men can be any age. Just look at how many older actors get cast in leading roles for example compared to how many women? And of those that do....how many look like Kathy Burke? If Timothy Spall where a women he'd never have had a film career, let alone one that has lasted so long.


The same is true of the music industry. The Rolling Stones can tour at 60 but can you imagine people paying to see a girl group touring at 60? Annie Lennox has spoken out a lot about the sexist ageism of the music industry.


And it won't change until we demolish the use of women as symbols of 'perfect beauty' in our culture. Women have always had to be glamorous to get noticed, whereas men need only be interesting.

    • The private sector is not going to build a significant amount of social housing. Everyone is very keen for *everyone else* to subsidise construction of social housing. I take it none of the objectors to this scheme was suggesting putting up council tax so Southwark could build more social housing...? Social housing isn't going to appear in serious numbers if the state doesn't borrow money and build it.
    • They must be really desperate to collab with Tesla. Honestly, it's not even the worst thing they've done. I've noticed these sex events happening in the last few months at a place that's supposed to be a restaurant and venue. I was planning my wedding there and was appalled by the setup for those events. When I discovered what was going on, I was disgusted by how they were using the same rooms as 'playrooms' where families are supposed to eat. The hygiene and safety concerns are just unacceptable. We really need to come together as a community to put a stop to this! They're destroying a sacred, Grade II listed building, and it's just not right. The owners need to be held accountable for their actions. It's time for us to stand up and protect our heritage and ensure that these spaces are used appropriately, especially when they should be serving families and the community.   sex events vid.mp4 sex events videe.mp4 Literally promoting it on their Instagram! Only just taken down after scrutiny.     
    • yes, which properly explains why they responded to me on this occassion, as i included the CQC in my response. I have spoken to the Health Ombudsman, and they feel the regulator is more suited to the issues I have raise for more than a year now. welcome aboard. its great to have you on the thread. so sorry you are also experiencing issues. has this been addressed as yet?
    • Tbh most Tesla owners are people who are concerned about the environment and have purchased accordingly- but mr nut job has soured their purchasing- so I actually sympathise with them being associated with such an awful man. But to actively promote the company given the knowledge we now know about him makes utterly unacceptable.
