BBC bans men from audience of the only election debate featuring the Justice for Men and Boys party. (and the host is female too!)

JohnKimble111 · 2015-04-23T12:54:55+00:00

An absolute scandal, they're not even trying to be fair now the election is getting close.

The guy in charge of BBC Radio Nottingham is Mike Bettison, his email should be [email protected]

Demand both an all male audience for a debate in future not to mention a full interview with Ray Barry before the election and also an apology.

You can also find him on Twitter.

Update, Mike reports that the BBC attempted to justify banning men based on the fact that 52% of the electorate is female!

Update 2, in addition to contacting Bettison I strongly suggest people make formal complaints to the BBC. You can do so at the following link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complain-online/

its a fucking disgrace and the BBC is a complete pile of wank, if i was the J4MB blokes i would stear every answer to asking why is the audience entirely female? why have they banned men etc.

just use the opportunity to shine a spotlight on the ridiculous sexism

DavidByron2 · 2015-04-23T14:25:41+00:00

This illustrates the bigotry of feminists, that they assume that women will all have one opinion and that men will be the enemies of women and have the opposite opinion. It's really the only reason to exclude men from the audience -- that they think this will bias the audience.

Jokes on them.

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised if a female only audience is the best one to be receptive to men's rights, depending on how it's pitched. Why? Because women are allowed to have opinions on sexism in our society and men aren't. A mixed group the men might be checking with the women to see if they are allowed to have an opinion first, and it might become divisive. An all male group might be better than mixed but let's face it men tend to police themselves to make sure they keep to their gender role of protecting women.

I'd actually like to see the experiment run to see which group is more receptive.

Plus of course the BBC just made themselves look incredibly sexist.

In accordance with BBC national guidelines regarding due impartiality each audience member must be vetted.

Yeah you wouldn't want the audience skewed in one direction.

That would be a nightmare.

Isn't it illegal to ban a group from a political debate based solely on demographic info like this ?

If it is, sue the BBC.

joewilson-MRA · 2015-04-23T19:46:55+00:00

Well Mike, the fact that the audience is all female and the host too is just further validation why YOU and your candidacy is important. Its for this very reason men and boys need a voice because by default we are silenced.

Woah, hold on here a moment. All candidates but one were invited for a radio debate?

http://www.bbc.com/news/election-2015-england-32350791

this is unbelievable. And now they are holding a debate aimed at women. Why are you invited to this and not the other? And where is the debate on men? These are some very serious BBC bias issues here, this is an election and they have some very serious legal responsibilities. Use all of this for PR.

I hope to god you have a strategy for this debate. It is crucial you come over as reasonable, caring and appreciative of the issues women also have. Frame you position as being fair and just. You worry about all groups but feel that Mens and Boys need a helping hand these days; the ordinary bloke seems out of the national debate. Appeal to the fact that men are the sons, husbands, brothers and fathers of women. Mothers are the carers in a family and worry about the well being of their men just as much as their women.

Come over as Mr. nice, Mr. Compassionate and Mr. Reasonable against forces that are breaking the family and the role of women. The key to these debates is preparation and strategy of message.

JohnKimble111 · 2015-04-23T16:08:49+00:00

The debate starts in 53 minutes, tune in here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_nottingham

DarthOvious · 2015-04-23T23:02:44+00:00

Listening to the debate now. I'm not liking the tactic that Mike isn't answering the questions being posed. He could have even answered the education e is only going to look like a trouble maker after this.

JayBopara · 2015-04-24T02:34:05+00:00

Great stuff my Mike. He's something of a modern day hero.

dungone · 2015-04-23T14:06:45+00:00

The UK is one screwed up country. This is the same place where some politicians want to ban encryption from the internet. And here, their media is brazenly fucking around with their elections, just to make sure that the people who do get elected are a bunch of out of touch shills.

Riktenkay · 2015-04-23T16:46:14+00:00

Disgustingly sexist behaviour, not that I have any love for this ex-Tory's party, I feel they are likely to do more to harm our cause than help it due to their political leanings. There needs to be a liberal, progressive group standing up for true gender equality. SJWs are going to see a party of right-wingers standing up for men's rights as even more of a reason to hate us.

SirSkeptic · 2015-04-23T14:09:32+00:00

So the BBC seems as biased as our (Australian) ABC.

No political bias obviously means extreme left and misogynistic.

mrubios · 2015-04-24T01:08:49+00:00

Enjoy public TV.

huoyuanjiaa · 2015-04-24T09:29:20+00:00

So many groups around the world pushing the feminist agenda.

victorymonk · 2015-04-23T21:37:14+00:00

Mike was an idiot in that debate. They ask him about child poverty and he talks about domestic violence. They ask him about early testing in school, he tries to talk about circumcision. I wouldn't vote for him after this debate. Child poverty IS gender neutral question. Not everything is men's right issue.

ProfessorZ00M · 2015-04-23T18:30:52+00:00

Fuck this shit, I'm voting UKIP, they won't be pushing this SJW agenda against men.

Sasha_ · 2015-04-23T16:07:59+00:00

This way I don't pay my TV license.

victorymonk · 2015-04-23T17:17:35+00:00

Listening to the debate now. It seems J4M&B are being given the opportunity to get their views out, thankfully.

smarttypist234 · 2015-04-24T14:57:51+00:00

I read some of his quotes in the article. Is he like the British "Paul Elam"?

adave4allreasons · 2015-04-23T22:23:35+00:00

Crash it!

AloysiusC · 2015-04-23T20:04:20+00:00

Well men decide stuff on women affairs all the time, you cant have it all.
