DiegoDiego Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 They’ve also sacked Gilfeather as a columnist. Hopefully whichever editor chose to print it has gone too. Surely the fault is mainly with them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Bit half arsed giving Frank an opportunity to say he stands by what he wrote. Quote Mr Gilfeather stands by what he wrote and, as a result, he will no longer be writing for the Evening Express. https://www.eveningexpress.co.uk/fp/news/opinion/frank-gilfeather-column-an-apology-articleisfree/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 (edited) I've never understood firing a column writer because they write something you disagree with. Presumably everything that goes into that paper is reviewed at least once? If you have a problem with it, or even think it's going to create a public backlash that you don't really want to have to deal with, don't publish it. It should be pretty clear also that the columnist does not necessarily represent the paper's viewpoint and may diverge from it. Alternatively, don't even hire someone who might write a column like that. The article written is indeed awful, but are we really claiming no-one saw that before publication and decided it was fine to be published? Not having that. Someone else should be following him out the door. Edited October 23, 2021 by Michael W 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
williemillersmoustache Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Papers want clicks and controversy drives clicks. Sometimes the backlash isn't worth the attention and then they bin the writer, apologise and claim these views don't represent and fail to meet the standards of the paper, which commissioned, edited and published these views. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clown Job Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 The cynic in me doesn’t believe we will see any real difference in club numbers. I can’t remember the last time an online boycott worked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That there Internet is crammed to bursting with people who are all going to do something about __________ (insert whatever this week's thing is here). Whilst shouting loudly about it. Because likes and shares. Right up until it actually comes down to doing it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised P&B's clubbing correspondent didn't know that! Considering that drink spiking has been a problem for a long time, you'd have thought that cheap disposable covers for drinks would be standard in clubs by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s surely a correlation between people who go to nightclubs alone and people who spike women’s drinks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherrif John Bunnell Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Gilfeather is a nasty piece of work and his cancelling is long overdue. He was allowed on Radio Scotland a few months ago to ramble on about how he hates Alex Scott because of her accent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the womenfolk are safe with WB. I understand he scrupulously insists on leaving alone too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
