he had a gap in his busy social calendar and he's an auld mate of the dimbleby so to stop him having a dull evening in watching springwatch he asked if he could answer some questions.

Well fuck, shows how out of touch I am then. Used to follow him on Twitter but had no idea so many people gave a toss about him.

Could it really? If I said 'UKIP man is pointless man' would that also be 'fairly sexist'?

Offensive sexist drivel?Oh, that's alright then. It's just fine to come out with offensive sexist drivel on what is supposed to be an intelligent show so long as you apologise later on (but only when prompted by a member of the audience).

He is outside the Westminster bubble. But footballers and other celebrities are in there own bubble. Prefer Any Answers myself. Am less interested in being patronised and more in the range and scope of how we Joe Public are feeling. Is still at the mercy of editorial bias though
I'd rather see owen jones; from a welfare perspectie at least he knows the issues and the stories.
Does Joey?

Ah here we go with the ad hominens, courtesy of a thread from six fucking years ago being dug up to 'prove' some piss weak point.Offensive sexist drivel?

Is not having a problem with female commentators but preferring a male voice for male TV football commentary sexist then? I generally prefer female singers to male singers. Is that sexist too?

Oh aye, and any answers is the place for that right enough. Whatever it is.

are you kidding? Any Answers only gets airtime to make the contributors to Any Questions look sane and rational.

To be honest I'm not that fussed at seeing anyone, I don't normally watch it and only saw Barton's sexist bit when alerted from here last night. But to answer your question, the politicians, journos and commentators they normally have, whatever their specific views are part of the political class - Barton isn't. He's a full on idiot in terms of some the things he's done and also some of his twitter splatters. But he also says interesting things and is often sound on equality type stuff. I also loved his plain speaking about shit England player bringing their books out straight after a failed world cup. He's probably locked into an embrace with the media as much as anyone else, but well, I think people sneer at him for the wrong reaons. He is a dick, but it's his class that they are really sneering at.
they weren't on last night either...unlike the ukips. Aren't their views on runway expansions valid? Says it all really.

Better than most other phone in radio though.
I haven't seen any sneering at his class.

I like to sneer at him for the horrible violence he has administered in the past

Well, you have to pick your way through it. He's done plenty of horrible things - and said even more. Sometimes that's what's in play, but even more it's 'ooh, look, he likes art', 'philosopher king of football!', 'ha ha he reads books'. None of that can be reduced down to sneering about footballers per se.
Realise I'm on a sticky wicket using Barton to display media class biases, but it is in play with him.
Edit: sorry, that was supposed to be a reply to AW.
