Who else hates this guy (Gregg Wallace)?

my ex wife went to a hen doo with a stripper.......... she was no naive snow flake however when she came back she said if blokes had done even half of what they got up to to a female stripper there would have been arrests or people taken out the back for a bit of a head wobble from a bouncer. Now you could blame it on the stripper for letting things go as far as they did i suppose, but if you are gonna do that then the shoe has to go on the other foot too and use the same argument for when men take things too far and cross the line into being offensive, be it verbally or what ever.

we are in this weird period imo where the pendulum has swung massively the other way, where men have to really watch what they do or say, but women get to take things far further and its all still a bit of a laugh.

case in point the ulrika video above, could you imagine, even back then someone grabbing her boob and giving it a good squeeze? (and i am just as hypocritical too because I would not be offended if that happened to me from a woman but would be very wary doing it to a woman even as a prank!)

This must have been traumatic for the Daily Mail editorial team :)

Defend a white, middle aged male victim of the forces of Woke, or take dump on the BBC for not stopping it sooner.
BBC hate boner won out.
 
Having lived in the South East and worked alongside many working class south or east Londoners I'm not surprised he's not everyone's taste. They use cuss words as punctuation and the cut and thrust of conversation is not for the weak of disposition. My eff and jeff count went through the roof living there for a few years.
 
more recent programmes than Austin powers ? - Fleabag comes to mind , or in the Austin powers vein parts of kingsman films(music festival ....)

With todays coments from Starmer&babes(#themtoo), kirsty, van-outen - the mob is baying for blood

After I'd moved out, I came home to visit and the Austin Powers and American Pie DVDs were in the 'rents collection. Yes, the prudes my parents were/are had this material stacked on their DVD rack.

Mind you, not as traumatic as when I came home from the pub one night when I was 18/19 and caught my mum watching EuroTrash. That was that night that Lolo Ferrari died for me :D

However, in relation to the topic of this thread, I can't stand the guy. The first thing I watched that he was in, was 'Inside the Factory' and thought he was a cocky, annoying and obnoxious ****. Ruined a really decent program IMO.
 
The BBC really are trying hard with this one, it just sounds like he's a bit of a knob head? It doesn't look like he's actually abused anyone or don't anything actually illegal?

Correct.

No one is claiming that he's an actual rapist or kiddy fiddler. But people/women are saying that their experience of him was that his behaviour in the workplace is inappropriate. And he seems to have ignored previous attempts by his employer to curtail his behaviour.
 
Only thing i don't like about him is when he gets over excited about peoples jobs in "Inside the Factory".

Having worked in factories for over 30 years, the job is mundane and the only thing that got me through it is the very often crude banter.

Also, imagine if Nigella Lawson did her cooking shows without the inuendos.
