This is my MP!

Why is it weird?

“There only needs to be a discussion around who is the next James Bond. It’s not just James Bond, in recent years we have seen Doctor Who, Ghostbusters, Luke Skywalker, The Equalizer, all replaced by women.
“Men are left with the Krays and Tommy Shelby. Is there any wonder we are seeing so many young men committing crime?"
 
Weird headline by the paper. He actually has somewhat of a point about Male role models but a weird way of expressing it.

No he doesn't, and his choices of male role models were ridiculous - is James Bond really a good role model for men or women ?

The fact that Dr Who is a woman is completely divorced from the absence (if indeed there is one) of male role models. Why didn't he focus on Marcus Rashford as an example of a great male role model instead of a time travelling, shape shifting fictional character. Indeed why did he choose one fictional character from a TV show that is on past the watershed, and a couple of criminals from the 1960's instead of the multiple men who are setting a great example to children whether it be through charity, sporting achievements or excellence in their chosen field?

What about pointing out that the majority of MP's who are supposed to uphold standards of decency and honesty are setting a terrible example to children. Indeed the PM, the political figurehead of the company, has multiple children to multiple women, denies the existence of some of his children and relies on state handouts to raise the ones he acknowledges, as well as having a track record of being sacked for lying - a great role model.

I thought he had a point when he said that young men have too many violent role models. See how many of them play violent video games or listen to music that glorifies drugs, knives and guns.
 
Does he heck have a point. There's loads of male role models. The instances where they're "replaced" by women are few and far between. If he's looking at TV and movies there are countless male role models. Far more than female. Just look at the Marvel films for starters.

Star Wars - Luke wasn't replaced at all it's a new character and 2 of 3 main leads in the new films were men!

Two of the examples of "strong male role models" he gives are trained killers with an aptitude for violence and one of those is a womaniser and arguably a misogynist!

In short the bloke is a complete idiot with the mindset of a teenager. Embarrassing.

and that has what to do with the fact that James Bond or Dr Who may be portrayed as a woman? Does his chosen role model, James Bond, not glorify guns and violence then ?

The man's an idiot, and any sliver of a point he may have had about the popularity of certain violent role models was completely lost in his insane rambling.
 
by saying that women shouldn't be playing historically male roles in film and TV, is he really saying that women should also not be doing those roles in real life as well?

fooking dog whistling dinosaur. Hopefully your time left in office is short.

That may well be a valid point, but the root cause isnt an excess of women role models. Whats the real reason men need more positive role models?

I have played call of Duty for 15 years and have never once carried that into my daily life.

pi$$ poor excuse.
 
Great to see the Tories have their finger on the pulse.
It's not like there's anything more important to occupy his time and efforts just now.
Simply astonishing.
Hopefully with shyte like this his seat will swing back to Labour, which it was from 1922 until the last election..... but I won't hold my breath.

I missed where he said young men have too many violent role models.

But if he did why is he moaning about James Bond and the Equalizer being played by women? Aren't they violent male role models? 🤦‍♂️
