The film crew recorded footage over a three- to four-hour-long period on a very cold afternoon outside Nottingham University on 27 February, about ten weeks before the general election. As the film crew was about to wrap up for the day, three or four angry young men - I don't know if they were students - appeared, were abusive towards us, and one hurled some very soiled cat litter over the windscreen of our van. I captured a little video footage of the culprit skulking away - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ9vi....
I was later interviewed by Tyger Drew-Honey in a hotel, over a period of maybe 30 minutes. Not one second of that interview made it into the final programme. Tyger presents the cat litter incident as if it had taken place shortly after we started campaigning - suggesting antagonism from the outset - when it happened at the very end.
The film crew must have recorded plenty of footage showing us in a good light, engaging positively with passers-by, and the BBC edited out virtually all of that footage. The programme shows almost nothing from what must have been substantial footage of feminists and manginas making complete idiots of themselves. But they included a few seconds of Ray Barry picking up some of the cat litter, and poked fun at him over the matter. Shame on the BBC.
The programme turned out to be precisely what we had always predicted it would be, another anti-male BBC feminist propaganda piece.
