    Ooh, five minutes of a 2 hour programme – a massive 4% of the programme.

    Does 100% of every programme have to appeal to a particular Ulsterman? What is it in your psychopathy that means that just because an issue doesn’t concern you directly, it shouldn’t be covered at all?

      Which gender are you, Scott – do you know? Would you like your own toilet? Is it of interest to everyone. Doubt it, somehow.

        Scott, its not just one type of toilet needed, would transgender females need a separate toilet from transgender males. Meaning four toilets instead of two. Huge extra cost for the providers. I have rarely seen transgenders using a toilet let alone queuing up for one.
        Perhaps its Cameron’s fault or even Margaret’s: perhaps there should be separate toilets for male and females under 3 feet?

          You make a habit of trying to observe people using the toilet? You poor man.

            Scott try to refrain from insults and stick to the discussion. Do you have anything intelligent to say?

              You were the one who tried to tie this subject in to who you see using the toilet, and who you don’t. If you think highlighting that absurdity is an insult, there’s not a whole lot I can do about that, is there?

            I’d guess Fred is simply observant of what goes on around him, as are most of us. It’s a natural human instinct.

            So there’s not a whole lot he can do about that, is there?

          Don’t forget the disabled transgender lavatories.

        Ah, the good old Biased BBC standby – act superior while hiding behind a pseudonym. It must make you feel so good about yourself. You know, Vance may be a bigoted little weasel with an inability to grasp the basics of human decency, but at least he’s not an anonymous little coward.

          Funny, Scott, I’ve never known David Vance come on here once to insult you.

          So what’s he done to deserve your playground level foot-stamping and name-calling?

            You have a short memory. He has done his fair share, and he knows it.

            He also tried to demand my home address on here once, for some reason he neither fully explained nor apologised for.

            But hey, you keep treating him as a saint if you want. Just chalk another one up to the “fictions that Biased BBC commenters laughably believe in” pile.

    Well, there’s technological unemployment: that is now ramping up to super speed thanks to digitalization of retail and many middle-level and clerical jobs and which NONE of the main parties is addressing at all, our nation’s colossal, inter-generational debt which will eventually result in either a default or in closing down major areas of public expenditure, the growth of global governance and regulation in which Britain’s influence is diluted by our membership of ‘Europe,’ the chaos that the world, especially Europe and our southern and eastern neighbours in Africa and the Middle East are falling into [not to mention the far East] now that Pax Americana is ending, the educational disaster that is sabotaging the lives and work prospects of so many of our young in the new world of digitally-generated technological unemployment [which the main parties are STILL not interested in] , the Islamic threat at home and abroad, the pensions crisis about which no-one anywhere near power is advocating a solution that involves compulsory individual contributions, that could have been looked at in those five minutes. I’m sure that the time was much better spent discussing how people who believe they’ve been issued the wrong junk by Mother Nature should take a pee and touch up their lipstick than all the trivial stuff I’ve mentioned. But since most [though not all] of those little problems are the products of democratic politicians promising everything and anything to a ceaselessly greedy and irresponsible electorate, and the BBC upholds and is part of the democratic gravy-train to hell, it’s little wonder that the Glenn/Glenda stuff is what our three billion quid per year state broadcaster prefers to burn our money on. Otherwise the Beeb might have to ask difficult questions to which the sane answers isn’t “Yet more progressivism, please.”

    I’ve no objection to there being gender neutral loos for transgender people, but it’s reasonable that transgender people pay 100% of their cost.

    You know a civiliastion is coming to an end when this becomes worthy of even one minute of anybody’s time.
    A healthy vigorous culture would never waste time over it.
    To pinch a line from Harry Lime
    100 years of civilisation and what have we produced- a transgender toilet.

      Great film, the actual quote is
      “Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock”
      Lime is a true moral relativist .

    The public loos in Swiss Cottage or Hampstead Heath could get the makeover treatment from one of the BBC’s countless property shows, maybe using ‘Take Your Pick!’ as a template?

    And why do the BBC have to go along with using the term “bathroom”? They are supposed to be the BRITISH Broadcasting Corporation for goodness sake.

    If these toilets are provided it will be just the latest example of public money being spent to satisfy a very tiny but extremely vocal minority, sending out a message to the majority – who in recent years have seen public toilets close faster than a penguin’s arse in a blizzard (nastytorycutz) – that they can go screw themselves.

    What if i was a stamp sexual. Philatio in the cubicles
    Basically if I could only identify myself while licking stationery and posting me nob in a slot do I get me own loo with its own postbox.

    Transgender politics is just daft.

    If you are stupid enough to have your stuff removed because of some delusion then you can go at home or use a shewee.

    How long before Alsatian bothers ask for their own lamposts.

    Mental mental mental. stop stop STOP,

    Scott this you have finally flipped. I am willing to believe friends of dorothynmight like a little cock action but when it comes to self mutilation I draw the line.

    FTM transexuals can join us in the gents. Lets be honest some lass who looks like Richard Hammond is hardly going to be harassed.

    MTF transexuals should be allowed in the ladies.
    As for the attention seeking idiots like pan gender and the like well they should have gone before they left home freaks.
