Ep 205: Greggggg Wallace's PR Disaster and the Assisted Dying Bill
Description
Jemma has been eager to get behind the mic for this one. Being a middle class woman of a 'certain' age has nothing to do with it, honest guv. On that note, the Trawl ladies aren't entirely sure what 'that' certain age is but there's so much to mull over they might never get an answer to that
But there's more to ponder besides Gregg, so they kick off discussing the resignation of Labour's Transport Secretary, Louise Haigh. Haigh was mugged many years ago and said her work phone was one of the items stolen, only said phone then turned up. As far as the Trawlers are concerned this spent conviction pales into comparison with assaulting a woman (Reform MP) or hacking a colleague's computer (Badenoch) but hey....
Marina and Jemma also discuss the Assisted Dying Bill and give their very personal views on that.
And then, finally, they turn their attention to the Gregg Wallace brouhaha. Is there a woman who hasn't taken to socials to say how him blaming his accusers of his alleged misconduct probably wasn't the best plan?
One man however thinks he's a male icon and the ladies have a lot to say about that. Marina surprises Jemma with an underrated tweet she wasn't expecting which ends the ep on a very funny note.
Pudding is brilliant - short but sweet and starring comics Mark Thomas and Shappi Khorsandi.
OM-Gregg !! You Brits are ever So Silly!! (and such lovely ladies, to boot). Regards from the States and Happy Holidaze, Randall Olympia, WA state USA
