If you a few mins please watch this vid - Rowan Atkinson eloquently supporting free speech & the right to offend. I passionately agree - "taking offense" is a ludicrous and damaging concept that leads to censorship & intolerance of different opinions x

@throughgate49 @BBCSport Choosing not to pay the fee is voting with your feet rather than losing your "wry amusement". It is very easy to laugh at ppl when you are unaffected - I would point out that taking to online forums to laugh repeatedly at others is not very British at all.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

Unbelievable! That's my license fee decision made. What on earth is the point in watching when they play ads on BB1 and BBC2 while "switching" over and we miss the actual point :( #wimbledon @BBCSport

[Adam Guthrie @AdamGuthrie65]

The BBC have really messed up there, at a crucial point in the second set and it’s not on TV!

@throughgate49 @BBCSport Have you actually looked at my page? Ilove Rowan's eloquence nd I post it periodically in the hope more people will read it. Exactly as you're complaining. Why don't you use online for more than just posting the same 2/3 word negative comment again and again at ppl Ian?

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@throughgate49 @BBCSport My lovely pinned post by Rowan I invite you to watch - certainly a positive post in my opinion. Many of us use online to try and make change, and yes, sometimes to express our disbelief. The beeb has heard this backlash - I don't shout into a void, ever.

@_Meliora_60 Pot and kettle? Um, only one of us here said she was too old and had more pressing things to do than reply.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@_Meliora_60 It doesn't cause me "angst"- but I wouldn't send a message to someone saying "what is it about my post you can't grasp"? I'm not sure you would say that to someone in the real world, but perhaps you would. You said you weren't discussing, so it is rather up to you to stop Gail

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@_Meliora_60 I grasped that you apparently don't disagree with me, apart from our views on guidelines thanks. There isn't really a need to be rude is there? Yes, I'm using every means I can to "go for it" - home office, MP, accountabilityuk etc. Not sure why you' ve replied again tbh.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@throughgate49 @BBCSport You certainly do - you've spent a few days now replying to everyone you can find who had their match ruined and used this means to express it. Enjoy expressing yourself - maybe consider others have the same right, even if you disagree with them :P

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@throughgate49 @BBCSport You're the one taking issue with ppl expressing their upset that the most nail-biting moment of the match was ruined by inept coverage. I see zero wrong in ppl saying so. Why are you on social media expressing your opinion if that makes you entitled?

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@_Meliora_60 I don't adhere to "guidelines are guidelines" - we can change things, and without the public outcry there wouldn't have even been a review. It is important to stand and say no, we think this is wrong. I'm sorry you're too old to discuss - when you comment online ppl tend to too.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@_Meliora_60 Z didn't commit rape, he filmed it. That is participating & absolutely should carry the same sentence. I've also been raped & mine wasn't brought to justice either. This case has clear evidence, violence, multiple perps, distributed online & still tiny sentence - so so wrong.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@_Meliora_60 Z didn't commit rape, he only filmed it . that is participating, encouraging & absolutely should carry the same sentence. I have also been raped & mine wasn't brought to justice either. This case has clear evidence, violence, multiple perps & still tiny sentence - insane.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@throughgate49 @BBCSport We were affected - the posts were all about that. You're saying live BBC1 and 2 is reliable, some of the time, but to be sure we'd all better watch iplayer instead. Got it.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@_Meliora_60 His original non-custodial sentence? If you are old enough to rape, and plan rape, you are not a child. I'm surprised as a fellow victim you think these sentences are ok. I absolutely do not.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@throughgate49 @BBCSport Your reply to me asking Kathy a rhetorical q that clearly points out if we take her suggestion to avoid the issue i.e. by watch iplayer, means no more watching live sport on BBC1, BBC2 again. Very surprised I have to explain that I have pointed out the fallacy in her suggestion.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@EmmelineWyndham Absolutely. Utterly disgusting that a review has led to such a small sentence - this year so far drugs possession with intent to supply has garnered 5.5yrs - attempted GBH with drug + firearm possession 12/18 yrs. The message this sends makes me so angry.

[Emmeline Wyndham @EmmelineWyndham]

If they're old enough to plan the crime, they're old enough to do the time. Should have been 30 years.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@moorehn The correct answer to "what would be the point in my coming over then if there's no sex" is "there is absolutely no point you coming over. Ever" End of. Then change your locks.

[Philippa J. E. Broadhurst @PippaBroadhurst]

@throughgate49 @BBCSport That was my response to Kathy saying we should have been watching iplayer instead - I asked should we not watch sport on live TV BBC1 or 2 anymore then? That's a perfectly reasonable question given what happened. Do read the thread before you reply to things.
