[News] Tom Daley announces baby news

[Beach Seagull]

Begging the question:-

'why admire his conviction to basically do the job he is well paid to do'?

Fair question......................answer is he expressed a view which he must've known would provoke a hysterical over reaction. Awaits now the usual 'online petitions(s) entitled 'boycott the daily mail' and / or 'sack Littlejohn'.

If that ever turns out to be the case, we need to sink this island and start again.

Or we could just wait for them to die out, a few more cold snaps should help.

I guarantee you it is the case, just too many wouldn't dare admit to it. A bit like voting Conservative.

Again that's his job.
Just how many times has Littlejohn been suspended and/or reprimanded by his employers?

Rallying behind Littlejohn's 'bravery' about expressing a view that would provoke a hysterical reaction is the same as rallying behind Sunday's right to be the day before Monday.

None to my knowledge. Why would they suspend him as surely they read his article before going to print? He's an excellent columnist I usually agree with everything he says.

Children do benefit far more by having a man and a dad, no matter what the right on brigade claim.

Given that this is your opinion, I’m struggling to see what objection you have to Tom and Dustin having a baby...they meet your preferred genders for parents perfectly.

I don't bother with this thread because I thought it was about somebody I didn't know doing something that makes no difference to my life.

Turns out I was right.

Don't know why so many feel the need to get involved in another couple:s affairs and start telling others what they should and shouldn't be doing.

Must be the right on politically correct brigade again. I have heard they are always doing stuff like that.

What is your basis for guaranteeing it?

The Daily Mail?

Freudian slip?

I look forward to reading your research findings.

Sorry to hear that Buzzer, My mum left after six months and I had a complicated up bringing including foster homes in the most important years. Looking back I would have given anything for someone to “love & care” for me then, be it two women, two men, one man, one woman. Which is why your last paragraph hits the nail on the head, and basically anyone who tries to find a reason to argue against that is not getting the point and any further discussion is futile.

No worries matey. I'm all good now and it taught me a lot of lessons in how not to raise children, I'm sure the same as you. And it does come down to that single point - will the child be loved?

I think in certain circumstances that point is spot on. A lot of boys in inner city estates desperately need a father figure and are sadly lacking but that's a lot to do with culture and environment. I've no evidence to back this up but I reckon most gay couples who conceive a child with a surrogate mother or with a lesbian couple who also will be parents will have a lot more stable life. And this is completely the case for anyone who adopts.

And, almost as pertinently, intent on destroying/belittling anyone who has a modicum of celebrity or success in their lives

He dives in Swimming Pools.

Hardly a national icon.

Meant man and woman.

That's alright then.
If you lived your life through The Daily Mail, you'd have to hate women as well:-

Is that the best you can do to prove you're point that the Daily Mail hates women? Btw I don't hate women. Love em. Apart from women 'footballers' .

What's wrong with women footballers? Are they fitter than you?

Fit as in physically fit or better looking?
