Was Carol Vorderman right to hang up on this LBC caller?

A convicted rapist who was allowed to have unsupervised time with his child has been stripped of his parental responsibility.

Described as a “danger to women and children”, Kristopher White failed to turn up to court last week for a hearing to determine the involvement he could have in his daughter’s life.

Discussing this topic, Carol Vorderman hears from caller Neil, who attempts to use Dr Jordan Peterson in defence of his example. This does not get Carol's approval.

LBC is the home of live debate around news and current affairs in the UK.

I doubt Vorderman realises it, but she's just proven the caller's point 100 times over.

This video will be replayed for a long time.

Carol proving that men are silenced under the false accusation of misogyny. Well done Vorderman nice work .

[BoojayDeeth]

Carol : There is no contempt for men in society
Carol 5 seconds later : You cannot talk about that man on MY show.

[victoriarose]

“As a woman” and “I’m not having it” are not arguments.

[JM-qdky]

As a man I know of many women who punish their ex partners by refusing access to their children.

[SayemTabla]

Caller is 100% correct. Clearly his views triggered Carol's nerves.

[Aisha-ejlj]

She was dismissing his views that men are also abused in many ways in relationships and society. Whether people want to admit this or not and use and abuse their power as a woman ( this is a real issue)
She literally confirmed this cutting by him off cos he listens to Jordan Peterson 😤

[jrmcf]

It’s her choice if she wants to hang up but it says a lot for her own character for not hearing him out. Would love to hear her back up her claims to JP himself but we know that won’t happen.

[brianwilson]

in fairness to this guy, as soon as he said "there is a contempt of men in society" she interupted him, which wont have helped him re-evaluate his bias!

LBC - Leading Britain's Conversation. Unless Carol Vorderman doesn't want to hear it because she is clueless about what she talks about anyway! Peterson is a brilliant professor. She's do well to read one of his books and learn something about narcissistic people ie. Carol Vorderman.

Family courts are their for the children should be the first concern.

[leilahmanson]

Family courts are NOT there to keep families yogether believe me im speaking ss s father who was forced through this system, whoever the full time carer is whether it be man/woman, they are allowed to play the system, tell lies, manipulate the system, which sadly sll impacts the child, i have now NOT seen my son since he was 9 years old, he will be 17 at end of september, i had to tell the courts i will stay out his life for his peace, its a heartbreaking disgrace of a situation!

[poojans]

Vordermans clearly rattled by even his name. Jordan is a highly intelligent, highly respected clinical psychologist and even if his views do not align with Carol's, you shouldn't be so afraid to immediately shut it down.

[imagecollections]

I agree that the family court system is totally against men.

[kaitoswarlock]

Really disappointing to see. Makes me think Carol knows nothing about Peterson, except for what people have falsely painted him to be.

Do I agree with everything Peterson believes? No, not at all.
But I can definitely say reading his 3 books have helped me greatly and especially as a father.

Can we get a list of people who cannot be quoted to Carol, as not to upset her?

What a ridiculous approach to a conversation.

[AndyAndy-om]

Imagine vorderman trying to debate Peterson would be hilarious

[ted]

Shouldn’t be on conversational radio if she hangs up on people. Guess she’s still smarting at getting sacked by Countdown

[sarahsarah]

Apparently Carol is no longer working for LBC

[cenarena]

Don't quote that misogynistic professor with a PhD in clinical psychology & a successful 35 year marriage on my show. Says the woman who openly dates multiple men at the same time.

No, Carol, you shouldn't have cut the caller off.

[playerone]

In these discussions people seem to forget that fathers for justice was a thing for a bit. The fact that that movement existed should be a red flag for the system in itself.
