I can't get my head around JSP. Something seems to compel me to like her, but I can't think why. She doesn't possess any particular talent and yet the girl done well in the artificial world of the media. Her performance on QT was typical.
On some levels JSP talks sense, but then you get this sort of thing; the subject was the proposal to increase the speed 'limit' on motorways to 80mph. JSP started by saying she didn't like driving on motorways and then rattled on about people already driving too fast and increasing it was madness. Her first statement kind of precluded the second part being a rational, objective and considered opinion. It was a prejudice.
That's OK though, the Left these days have become adept at saying things that amount only to their own personal opinion, as if it were an established fact. A truth that cannot be gainsaid. Her opinion was also that Top Gear was the cause of fast driving and Jeremy Clarkson in particular, irresponsible in this regard.
Top Gear of course does like speed, but has never suggested it should be applied inappropriately (they do theirs for instance, on a track). Clarkson himself is intolerant of the intolerance of the Left and thinks that people should be allowed to make more decisions for themselves. Consequently, he is a dangerous person for the Left and politicians in general and thus created as a figure of hate. It was suggested he would be bad company, though I imagine he would be great company, not least for an intelligent argument.
But anyway, JSP had a point to make and it was her view. She then berated Caroline Flint for Labour's lack of positive discrimination in favour of women. She was disappointed that companies were not forced to have a certain percentage of women on their boards. JSP didn't concern herself with ability or talent, which I suppose in her experience isn't a prerequisite. Public broadcasters low quality output being unconnected I imagine.
There has been and I'm sure there still is, much discrimination against women (though women bosses I have known have been among the best), but that doesn't make the promotion of those of the female gender regardless of ability, a sensible decision. Maybe JSP would put the 16 year old girl who tried to murder her grandfather for an inheritance, in charge of a bank. She has at least demonstrated a keen interest in financial matters and her overweening self interest must appeal to the Left.
Aside from JSP though, there was something else in QT I found amazing. A woman in the audience, on the subject of increasing the speed limit said it was just a ploy by business to get their products to market quicker, despite the increased danger. I don't know if she is a Left leaning individual or if she merely says things like these because of Left indoctrination, to which we are all subject these days.
It was a strongly voiced opinion, but as commercial traffic is time limited and speed limited with on board monitors that ensure regulation, I don't think she had any understanding of the subject she was happy to spout about. And nowadays, no-one thinks to ask a question to understand. She could just as easily have said that she feared it was just to aid business and would limits for commercial vehicles be raised too?
But no, the Left has insisted that we all assume we are each, individually much more important than anyone else, so an opinion, however ill-informed is valid. The removal of respect for others has been a key plank of the Left's undermining of our social structure.
