Grr................. Anne Atkins

Go straight to Platitude of the Day for antidote.

Anne Atkins is a loathsome woman. Don't understand why she is constantly wheeled out to tut at the world.

Bags - I have it on my Favourites from the first time you told me about it!

Oh, I usually agree about Ann Atkins, but today I woke up halfway through the item and caught a line which I was surprised, and happy (tbh), to hear someone actually state.

It was that there is evidence to show that boys who are brought up without their biological fathers are more inclined to aggression and she might have said, criminality.

Yes. good thing to put across.

Why is it Bags that so many of your posts make me think of the line "methinks the lady doth protest too much"?

And how long does it take you to find these second rate web sites?

Well, that's a whole generation of boys whose fathers were killed in two world wars damned.
Jingle, you appear to be spoiling for a fight - chill out, woman!

Did she state what evidence J04? Did she explain why a biological father rather than a loving step-father?

Probably because I do, jings . I think you might need to refine your sense of humour a bit.

What is it that makes me think that quoting that 'lady doth protest too much' line is just a cop out? Seems to me it's the religiacs who protest too much and the rest of us just take the piss.

She doesn't need evidence, absent, she has religion!

Or adoptive father, even, absent.

Greatnan,

Got your mischief hat on Jings?

Who is Anne Atkins? - never heard of her!

I wonder if Anne Atkins thinks a violent father is better than no father? I think she is a reactionary fool.

No when. My honest one.

And how do you know whether "she" has "got religion" or not Greatnan? You seem to know more about me than I do.

She is a vicar's wife who has managed to get herself invited to give the Thought for the Day on Radio 4's Today programme on many occasions. She has a very annoying preachy voice and is a dyed-in-the-wool right wing old-fashioned Anglican. I have no idea why she thinks she is qualified to lecture to the rest of us on a huge range of subjects.

Jings

I've got my honest hat on too. Sorry you don't like it, jings. Yours suits you.

J04 I think Greatnan was referring to Anne Atkins, not you Jings.

Missionary mindset, I expect, greatnan.

I would like to see Anne Atkins and Victora Gillick launched into space together

Sorry then. Perhaps I do need to chill!
