she is, but free speech is a two way street. you can say whatever like, but rest assured people will disagree or agree this is a fact. free speech and 'free country' whatever is not just for you and your opinion, it is for everyone, and there are consequences to it.
and you will have to get used to the fact that you are not infallible and free from consequence. you are not free from repercussions of any kind good or bad just because you said your opinion. having an opinion does not absolve you. people have opinions too and they will share them if you express yours.
and you have to realise that some things you say will have consequences in life and in the work place and it is possible to lose friends, lose your job or alienate colleagues or hurt family with your words. and that is ultimately down to how you handle yourself.
Think that's the danger when you leave TV for a long time then come back, personal views you might share at home are just completely inappropriate on a TV show.
She is still entitled to say what she wants whether it's right or wrong and it is up to her to justify them but she can still say them.
She can say what she likes, but equally other people can question her on what she says.
She has since apologised for what she said.
I think she has apologised if she caused offense, rather than apologizing for what she actually said.
I actually caught about 15 mins of this programme and happened to see the discussion. I thought I had misheard her when she said that it wasn't a violent act and when she went on to say about the girl had been drinking then mentioined he hadn't admitted it which seemed to suggest she considered maybe he might not be guilty, I was staggered.
Yes she is entitled to her opinion but it is generally accepted that if a court finds you guilty then you are unless you have appealed and proved otherwise. Comments made publicly should reflect that.
My concern with what she said is also from the wider perspective that the message she was giving was that rape only counted if you were sober, kicked and screamed and incurred injury during the ordeal. Rape victims (of either sex) are already reluctant to report incidents and the conviction rate is, I believe, fairly low, this type of comment does nothing to help the situation.
Completely agree with you.
The point she was trying to make about offenders trying rebuild their lives, whatever their profession were completely lost with her offensive comments about the crime in question.
She looks ill and quite frankly i think she should retire as she has obviously lost the plot, I am sure she did not want to have herself on the front pages on her first day back at work.
As far as Loose Women goes, why hasn't this utterly wretched programme been axed yet? Ugh, I hate it. I think it's one of the most sleazy, offensive programmes on the box.
Her first day on Loose Women as a panelist and she spouts this bile which caused a Twitter & Newspaper storm.
That's one way to get some publicity for the dire Loose Women, everyone is talking about it on Twitter & no doubt it will be in all the papers & on every news show this morning.
She is. Other people also have the right to react and have an opinion of what she said on TV. She has to be prepared for that.
As for her opinion, I definitely don't agree, especially re rape not being violent as a defence.
'Hi. The gaffer of the house?' they say, when Richard opens the door.
'Judy! Caller for you!' goes Richard.
