THE UK’S House of Commons has this evening voted unanimously passed a motion calling for the release of all government documents relating to the Hillsborough Stadium disaster in 1989, in which 96 Liverpool fans were killed. The motion, which was triggered by a public petition, calls for the documents – including Cabinet minutes – to be released in an unedited format to the families of the 96 victims and the Hillsborough Independent Panel.

Being called attractive is a compliment ffs.
@Billy-Bob White: Good man Billy.
@Coner Willis: Man U till I die!!
@Billy-Bob White: No problem with compliments. Asking about the conception is not appropriate.
@Billy-Bob White: Are heads of state normally complimented on their appearance during interviews?
@Rochelle: Leo is just gorgeous …..
@Rochelle: “Attractive” doesn’t just mean physically attractive. It’s a very positive piece and from a journalistic perspective he raises the questions other people have raised and let’s her and her political ally address them.
@Rochelle: I’ll just leave these here

Jacinda Ardern :
“It’s fair to say that I couldn’t recall there being anything from the interview that particularly stood out to me,”
So what’s all the bloody fuss about then?
@David Sinclair: The common practice nowadays of me getting offended on your behalf because I know better.
@David Sinclair: You’re obviously new to the Internet.
@Daniel Donovan:
Fair enough I can understand radical feminists being outraged (99.9% of human activity enrages that lot) but when I see grown men like Ryan Sheales
above sticking his beak in and virtue signalling about it it gets roysh up my nose…it really does.
@David Sinclair: *hupeople activity.
@neilo:
I support his right to free speech, only wish he’d use it more constructively rather than trying to win an Oscar at the annual PC Awards.
If she wasn’t offended in any way by it then no body else should either ..he complimented her and asked when the baby was due…no harm there. Women ask all the time when is the baby due when talking to a pregnant lady . Is it now offensive for a man to ask such a question..
@Siobhán Ni Mhurchú : Apparently it has now come to the stage that a man can not open his mouth without some females getting offended. I’m very sure no harm was meant and, like most men was only trying to be polite and courteous. Dammed if you do and dammed if you don’t.
@Siobhán Ni Mhurchú: you just don’t get it. Read the article. She is a senior politician! She cannot afford to be publicly
offended because of the backlash she would have to endure. The only reason he wanted to know when the baby was due was so he could calculate when conception occurred so that he could make a voyeuristic comment about sex during an election campaign. The interviewer has demonstrated that he is a total sleaze bag.
@Ben Gunn: your comment in itself is sexist to suggest she couldn’t endure the backlash of being offended. Is it because she is a woman or because she is good looking or both?
@Ben Gunn: not according to the woman..she didn’t take it that way and that’s what is important here …
@Ben Gunn: maybe you’re the one that doesn’t get it.
Your comment contains wildly populist assumptions, projections and accusations.
The woman herself said that nothing stood out from the interview. You are assuming she was lying, ‘cos she’s too shy /weak to say otherwise.
The interviewer didn’t make a sleazy comment about conception. You projected it and accused him of wanting to say something he didn’t say.
I despair at such speculative, sheep-think offended on behalf others shite!
@Ben Gunn: Perhaps you should watch the interview before commenting any further. Did that occur to you before embarrassing yourself? I don’t know who you work for but I wish I had the opportunity over the next 6 months to constructively sack you. Don’t know what I’m talking about though, do you
men should completely ignore a woman’s appearance and never comment about it. Did this guy not get the memo ??
never buy a drink, never offer to pay for dinner, no more lady’s first, no more door opening.
@David Cullen: No of course not. That was all a load of tosh anyway.
In the same one hour program they filmed and spoke to a conman. They called him a conman. Should we all be offended too?
In the same program they interviewed Robbie Williams and complemented him. Should we all get offended at that too?
The interview with her was being conducted as she was indeed a woman, pregnant, a first in recent times for any female in the Western nation, at the top of her political game.
Sometimes, just sometimes, political correctness has gone a touch too far?
So she’s good looking and what? If you don’t like the questions in the interview, walk out. If you find it repugnant turn it off.
@Daniel Donovan: this is PC media at its worst. Reporting on a non story on the other side of the world just to appease the “victim groups” even though she carried and represented herself perfectly. The sad thing is I’m not sure does the media have the self awareness to realise what it’s like..
Watched the interview. Nothing jumped out that indicated that the lady interviewed was offended. She got to where she is from being also a strong character so there was feelings hurt, she would have said something we might guess?
The new puritans have taken it upon themselves to be outraged and offended on behalf of the NZ premier who wasn’t. It was only a matter of time before the word ‘attractive’ would be deemed as hate speech by this minority of loons who dominate the media.
She took the right stance here not being fazed by it but let’s be honest this isn’t the PC brigade. When interviewing a woman that’s career has nothing to do with looks why bring it up? It was intended to be controversial of course
Questioning ones sexual habits or indeed whether they are able to bear children is unacceptable
Men , Stay away from women . No matter what you do your wrong so whats the point .
Isn’t there some sort of sexual conversion method done by religious head jobs that could turn all men homosexual .
Just more twitter sourced outrage used to write articles which gives the perpetually offended clowns airtime. This isn’t news, yet media give an international platform for these alt right/left crybaby whatever clowns recognition for there misplaced hypersensitivity. Move on, next topic please. What next, articles based on a few random hysterical comments dredged from the depths of YouTube comments! It’s a pity the middle, moderate and calm voices don’t sell papers.
She was not offended , that’s good enough for me.
Whereas when some women spend hundreds of euro on outfits ,fake tans , hairdos ,make up ,nails, uncomfortable footwear they do it because they do not want to be complimented and admired. If you believe that you will believe anything.
As my dear old Dad used to say ,Pride Knows No Pain.
No comments allowed for IRA man but let’s leave this open for misogynists to go mad with. Good call.
Remember when every female journalist and the public was losing their mind over dreamy Justin Theroux? I do.
@Dublin Living: Sorry, I mean Justin Theroux! The Canadian prime minister.
Nothing wrong with that interview with The New Zealand prime minister. Actually I found it quiet interesting and not sleazy and in fact prime minister showed no signs of been offended
@postmanbill: She was certainly made feel uncomfortable by some of his sleazy questions. As for your good self, sleazy people often gravitate towards other sleazy people.
Wooley spending 2 weeks with the couple prior to main interview! And all for a 60 minute gig!
Ireland’s Nighthawks format mustn’t have taken off down under!
Charles may have been keen for some down time away from his own six and the missus!
Unbelievable bullshit story by Journal even the PM is not fazed by the bull …. nothing to see here
I think it’s an outrage to call a woman so horrendously ugly, as attractive. This guy is obviously trolling.
@Steven Fitzpatrick: You may have missed the part where he speculated about the moment of conception. Just a sleazy old man, but hey, whatever is to your liking.
have your say
