tonyh29 Posted August 16, 2022 Share Posted August 16, 2022 1 hour ago, Davkaus said: The implication that the women in the advert is a slag and lying to the husband about the kid being his? I'm under the impression the twitter nutters are more angry that the woman decided to change her mind about wanting children due to peer pressure I just watched the advert on youtube and it certainly doesn't give me the impression that the woman is a slag , the action and delivery is more about Dave's (or men in general ) insecurity than anything but in all the uproar , nobody noticed that it was Dave and Hannah having a baby rather than Hannah and Annah , so they got off lightly in the social media outrage terms ....

Jesus christ how many films from the 90s downwards are they going to get offended at if this offends them. Crown Paints sponsored Liverplop for all those years. That's offensive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The law was broken by the organisers for holding an unlicensed public event. The attendees were not breaking any law with regards to attendance.
