I agree with Alasdair Thompson

[The Lone Rider]

Weakest argument evaaah.

Well if you want to be accurate about what was said during the PeriodGate interview... it's not an argument at all. It's fact.


I don't recall him saying women take more time off because of having a period.
However, he has listed that as a possible reason.

Then went on stuttering nonsense.


There is a big difference between saying the reason for something is because, and saying part of the reason for something is....

I'm not even sure he said part of the reason is; didn't he just suggest that as a possible reason?

So you're saying that he isn't stating it as fact, just throwing it out there.

My question to you is - so?

I don't really get why you think that should reduce the heat on this clown.

I don't really get why you think that should reduce the heat on this clown.

I dont think it should be reduced, increased or even exist. I don't really think I care enough about the matter beyond watching the various interviews, and thinking Facebook pages that keep showing up about it is kind of stupid (and thus this will also be my last post about it).

Lol - it's just been reported on the news that Alasdair Thompson is off on sick leave.

That time of month, Alasdair...?

Essentially he's getting the sack for telling the truth in an unacceptable way.

Pretty rich when you see liars profiting from their misdeeds.

Hes getting the sack for being a total tosspot. Failing to understand the people his association represents. And failing to wake up to the post 1970's. And doing so on Tape = unforgivable

Some women do get affected by periods, some women don't.

Many male workers are seemingly a premenstral waste of space and they don't have periods to blame as the cause.

This guy got kicked out because of his inappropriate views regarding female workers.

Seems like a good ting to me
