Did he bollocks legal.

Its you and 'liberal' others like you that keep dodging the point.

The referendum result was a backlash from those at the sharp end of 'multiculturalism' who have seen and experienced their communities being taken from them.... not the obvious targets but places like Lincoln where so many migrant workers have settled there it now resembles an Eastern European town with the High Street full of shops catering for Polish and other nations food preferences and trying to see a doctor within 7 days proves to be an impossibility. I could go on...

It's all about perspective based on personal experience.
Real life has little time for philosophy.

You seem determined to steer this where you want it to go.
Firstly, this thread was about political bias on the news which needless to say, encompasses a whole lot of issues. "Race" has really nothing to do with it. Aside from the fact that it does not exist in science, only in peoples minds, you would like to believe that the whole debate is about skin colour or prejudice because it plays into a narrative that suits you. In reality, the issues around the promotion of and the effects of immigration and multi culture on an existing population are complex and widespread. You insult those who question it's purpose by reducing a discussion to such narrow parameters.

I don't know about any race card BPF but you are now playing the offended flower. The topic was fair representation on TV. One which can be discussed without the need for histrionics.
You as good as called me a racist and you are now crying foul?

Discussion over.

Only to those trying hard to be offended. You deliberately read too much into words.

You made it your mission to take this thread to this conclusion. Well done.

I read too much into it? This coming from someone whose whole premise here is that he tuned into ITV news, saw one too many non white faces out or the 3 or so people on camera, decided that there had to be liberal bias quota scheme behind their presence rather than ability, and that people watching might think it was 'foreign telly' despite the fact ITV news presenters all talk with cut glass English accents.

There are an awful lot of white newscasters on the news. I actually watched yesterday and everyone was white. Am I complaining about that? No.

I already tried to take this conversatoion in a direction of commonality rather than difference, I repeat:

"There is a lot in common between say the criminisation of certain words aka hate speech on the left and the intrusive nature of governments on the right. They all seek to control the population and it would serve people on both sides well to align themselves to that rather than be at loggerheads. As it stands it's easy to buy peoples votes on the cheap by appealing to their prejudices rather than holding governments to account. Of course this is rarely examined because people are so fixated on each other rather than bothering to find commonality."
