"So having feelings is one thing, but actually expertise is not the same as people in power who might have views and might control things" <br />Agree with Samira, but that was not the question she's redefining EXPERIENCE to be only the experience of white male power people'<br />.."The economists were just theories, the people who run economics are not real experts"<br /><br />Toby raised the issue of Treasure Brexit doom forecasts ..she countered "well they are not real experts, like Vaccine/moon scientists are"<br /><br />In her screeching fast voice full of EMOTION she says "emotion is replacing fact"<br /><br />"In the country TV media inc ITV are much better at being impartial, whereas newspapers are partisan"<br />(see she doesn't know that outside bubbleworld everyone knows the BBC is partisan and will always report a pet topic in a predictable way)<br /><br />She ends on her Nigel Farage comment which like Jess Phillips comment on R4Today actually sounded as if scripted.<br /><br />The sexism of her supporters<br />"That was a shocking display of ignorance by the men on #r4bh, thank goodness for Samira!"<br /><br />stewgreenhttp://www.stewgreen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-30137620387380898732018-01-01T11:14:42.502+00:002018-01-01T11:14:42.502+00:00Craig here's a link to the

Did she not get on a law course at uni? Did that cause ructions at home? <br /><br />Anyway, take a look at this article:<br /><br />https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5252/whos-afraid-of-diversity-in-education<br /><br />Seems to me the Telegraph was perfectly within its rights to deal with the student's comments in the way they did, if they wish to, since the student is clearly racially motivated.
