“For some reason my last review was not published but the essence of it was an expression of disappointment in the ‘baby boomers’ stereotypes simplistically described by the people on your show. It’s not helpful to dismiss an entire group of people and represent us as entirely homogeneous. Baby boomers are a diverse cohort and some of us have struggled economically and directly from gender discrimination, racial discrimination and homophobia impacting on our life chances. Many of us have been politically active (women’s rights inc equal pay, workers rights, gay rights, CND, Greenham Common to name but a few) and have worked in public services as teachers, nurses, social workers, youth workers, housing workers. Those of us in the LGBTQ+ community fought hard for civil rights despite facing outright abuse, criminalisation and Section 28. Please don’t fall into the trap of dividing people especially in these already polarised times. Stereotypes or generalisations about any group (in this case based purely on age) is simply prejudice and has no place on a programme that purports to challenge intolerance and illiberal ideology. I don’t mind the swearing but I do mind a mindset that scapegoats a whole group of people for, in effect, the failure of successive governments to address inequality, social injustice, poverty and wealth distribution in this country.”

“When she couple’s misogyny and misandry together than I’ll take her seriously. In the meantime it’s grandstanding for the parliamentary off season!!”
