Ignore the personal nonsense WE; the truth of the matter is that large numbers of people who post, especially vis a vis "political" matters hate being called out for the racist and bigotry they often express. You, very successfully, call it out on a regular basis - if you were not posting, the site would simply be an echo chamber of unchallenged, often far right, views. Keep going if you still have the energy! Can you please give some example of the racist, bigoted and far right posts that you say large numbers of people post here?

And the Sunday Sport.

Nor, from what I recall, did anyone complain they, or their children, were abused by Savile all those years ago. Doesn’t mean it didn’t happen though and if you heard the former employee telling her story on Radio 4 this morning you would have little doubt it is true. McDonalds have accepted that there is a very widespread problem involving young part time staff and older full time supervisory staff. Their whole set up is an open invitation to abuse and abusers. So instead of trying to turn a truly valuable piece of investigative journalism into yet another opportunity to have a pop at the BBC maybe some credit is due for them having learned and now finding and exposing abuse elsewhere. Or do you only care if it happens at the BBC? Clue is in the thread title. Personally, I could view this journalism as a bit of a distraction from their own activities. "Hey, look at this. Some other employer is abusing some of their staff too ! it's not just at the BBC"

Far right racists complaining about BBC perverts and paedos simply to suit their twisted and bigoted political agenda. Using such sensationalist and bias sources such as The Guardian, The report into the BBC and the BBC website. Simply populist clap trap and barely hidden latent fascism.

I just see differences of opinion and I certainly haven’t seen any racism, so let’s have a look and understand what posts are bigoted, far right and racist.

The only thing I've ever had at MacDonalds is a Fillet'o'fish - and that's not even an innuendo. On the MacDonalds thing, I thought most were franchises - so it can't really be a corporate culture thing. More piss taking by local rogues. All the managers and owners here are Asian - which may or may not be true of the UK. I have no idea.

What do you make of the new rolling news layout Nick? They've even got rid of the 'thumbs up/down' facility, i suppose mainly because its the women's world cup starting Thursday & the amount of thumbs down they've been getting because of this is probably why, oh that & their obsession with Manure.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

The public are nothing but stupid, ignorant licence fee dodgers. Their opinion means nothing. They just need to pay up and shutup.

But not every employer gets pages of defence. That’s because they don’t get targeted by people who dislike them for other reasons so don’t need defending.

And presumably it's all a bit cheap and tacky for Guardian readers/BBC employees. However, there is nothing like the scale of BBC sex assaults and paedophilia there, no matter how you or others might wish it. Ronald MacDonald has not been feeling up kids in the back room, unlike Hall and Saville. Plus, MacDonalds aren't attempting to cover it up. They'll move on and remain popular enough. Any individuals involved will be sacked, and reported to police.

I'm genuinely upset Eagleman, I don't do terribly well with change however the adjustment period, whilst rocky, will be something I'll get over eventually. I seem to hold adversity to our new kit every season until about 3 games in where I begin to love it, for an example. Not so sure on the thumbs, liked them just so people could interact with what was on there and of course so ludicrous opinions could be thumbed down en masse. I generally liked to give the thumbs up to anything positive and Palace of course but also down for any rivals too. Also, if you're inclined to believe we are being forced fed media with less and less due consideration for the thoughts of the masses, this may provide further fuel to your fire... I shall no longer be able to vote with my thumbs however my comments will be continuously supplied and surprisingly published by them I am sure.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
