The bbc, again.

[ASCPFC]

For the umpteenth time, the wokery is statutorily imposed. The Tories placed the BBC and Ch4 under the Equality Act through secondary legislation and (ironically) now accuse it of wokery. The BBC MUST by law hire people of colour to play e.g. warriors in the Battle of Hastings etc. If you don't like it (I don't and have fallen out with erstwhile friends over it), write to your MP to have the law repealed.

News: government "propaganda" is nonsense, but pro-establishment (i.e. leaning to any government of the day) is perhaps more fair. Rather like The Times newspaper. You might be interested to know that those on the actual left can't watch it either as it is too right wing"! Thus, you need to listen to Labour cabinet ministers being eviscerated at the 8.10am slot on the Today Programme to know that they are a long way from lefty. Nick Robinson, for instance, was a Young Conservative and worked for no fewer than 3 right wing think tanks before he joined the BBC.

Nature: climate change and losses of habitat are the central concerns of scientists in nature. Do you suggest a fluffy display of cute mammals with a light hearted narration as the only acceptable form of presentation? Not really accurate documentary is it?

The BBC will lean to the nature of those who control it which is tertiary educated and loosely "liberal" in thought which must cause them to depart from the views of many of "the average bloke in the pub". The alterative is that we hand over the reigns to the average bloke in the pub. How do you suggest we do that without causing the bias needle to swing sharply and the quality to descend precipitously?

MCGUIRK: The "man in the pub" is right on immigration - Gript

This old canard – that the economy would collapse absent inward migration – bears some examination.

gript.ie

I found this a pretty interesting piece on the views of the average person in the pub. I wasn't aware much research had been done on it. Has a couple of points relevant to this.

Does that law apply to individual programmes though?

My understanding is that it's fine to have an all-white cast in the Battle of Hastings, and an all-black cast of Zulu warriors, just as long as all groups are fairly represented across the channel's entire output.

Let's remember this gem.
The BBC 'War' correspondent, complete with woman idly shopping in the peaceful background.
"Are you alright down there?"

 

[silvertop]

I get what you’re saying but by not declaring that the boy in the Gaza programme was the son of a Hamas fighter, then by keeping this info from the public you are effecting a bias. Similarly, if you don’t put a fade between different parts of the same speech, you are altering the context. Of more worry is that outsiders have to highlight when these potential biases occur, implying that there is little editorial control or it is done deliberately. Either way = not good.

Not disagreeing either specific point I was making general points.

No. Equal opportunity employment of actors.

 

[Stirlingsays]

No. Equal opportunity employment of actors.

But that's stupid.

The left and social liberals (which the modern day Tories are also) brought all this sh1te in and I just hope I live long enough to see it all kicked to the curb.

 

[becky]

Apparently these are the issues raised in the “Prescott” memo that started all this. Does the tone seem familiar? To me they could have been written by any one of a number of posters here! So what does that indicate about Prescott? Does he have fair, neutral and unbiased approach? Or a heavily politicised one?

That he is masquerading behind a pseudonym, and spending a lot of time, on HOL.

Mainly because is he regularly stuck indoors with nothing better to do as his Mrs keeps nicking the one Jag they have left to go shopping in.........

Indeed.

There's political leanings and then there's just some things which don't make any f-ing sense whatsoever.

You are obviously alluding to John Prescott. Who isn’t stuck anywhere anymore, or driving a Jag. He died last year.

 

[Hrolf The Ganger]

Oh dear.

You obviously can't.

Let me know when you catch GB News lying or editing speeches to change the context.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

I watched it and I'm in Ireland.

On the BBC, or an Irish channel?

It’s a few years since I was there but I recall a lot of UK programmes being watched. Whereas I don’t remember that being the case in the USA. Just a ridiculously high number of channels on offer. No doubt buried there you could almost everything, if you looked hard enough.

 

[Wisbech Eagle]

Everytime GBNews broadcast anything Trump has said they broadcast lies.

Unless they also broadcast a caveat they are complicit in the lies.

Can't wait for the white Zulus then, and the white Martin Luther King.

 

[Rudi Hedman]

There will be a riot in Shepherds Bush and White City lol.

Yep. Listen to Tories like Heseltine and Rory Stewart talk about Trump, climate change, gender politics, etc, etc. It's all the same shite.
Same in the US - conservative Republicans like George Bush, Dick Cheney, etc regularly side with the Democrats against anti-establishment populists like Trump.

Meanwhile, there are some on the 'maverick' left/liberal who do actually speak out - George Galloway, Piers Corbyn, Lembit Opik. Not enough, but some.
Same in the US, there are some who have switched sides from the left to back Trump, like Tulsi Gabbard.

I'll say it again. It's not about Right and Left, its about Right and Wrong.

So are you saying everything that Trump says is a lie? That really is TDS at its rabid best

 

[Mattconrov]

Comments like this are the problem.

I don't particularly like Trump and agree he lies a lot.

However you have made a big statement that can't be backed up. To point out when he lies is fine; but that's certainly not all the time

For many years people were paroting that Trump said Mexicans are rapists. He said nothing of the sort. What he said, was will also be getting their rapists.

I can recall this lie bring used in a bbc interview and the interviewer not picking it up and correcting the woman.

The bbc have been caught red handed, but your TDS won't let you see this.

Nah, the funeral that you thought was his was just some BBC sliced together tapes of northern MP's who died previously..................... 🤣🤣🤣

he couldn't risk getting sussed out on Hol...............

 

[Spindle]

Lol the Guardian are reeling.

“Make no mistake, this was a coup,” said a BBC source.
Un-named - laughable.

‘Make no mistake – this was a coup’: the extraordinary downfall of the BBC’s top bosses

The whirlwind that started when Deborah Turness came under attack at a board meeting is part of a wider political story, some say

www.theguardian.com

They even publish this graph, FROM SPRING 25. Why don't they run the survey today against people who are informed of what they did and see how it pans out.



Yes, there was a coup alright, by the radical left over the last several years - a hostile takeover and you can see it in the far left programming, the diversity agenda, the trans rights promotion, the promotion of immigration, the promotion of Palestine and the deristion of Israel.

Bastards are getting what is coming.

I think certain Asian demographics are underrepresented. They'll do - and we can import them cheaper than all our actors.
Thai, Chinese and Philipino actors as Zulus and, whoever really. Royalty, Trump, Abe Lincoln, Robin Hood - anyone. Obviously not any actual Asian parts. We'll get Daniel Day Lewis for that.
