bbc sports personality of the year. well lets examine our terms of reference. year.....calendar year, 12 months
bbc.......an embarrassing Lefty parasitical propaganda institution, way past its sell-by date. Personality ? eh, how do we define that in any meaningful way ? doing lots of charity work ? jimmy savile. Contributing to charitable causes ? Conor McGregor...an obnoxious personality that helps soup-kitchens with his big wallet. BBC Personality of the Year.....reminds me of when Time magazine awarded 'Man of the Year' to Josef Stalin. A load of bol1ix The definition of sport itself is tricky too. However quickly you do it is driving a car "sport"?

The only women’s game I’ve ever watched was England v Spain and even then it was in the background whilst I was in the pub so I didn’t pay a lot of attention. I’ve never had any interest in it so I would say it’s pretty understandable that I have no idea who she was. Having then looked at what she had achieved, I cannot believe she won, but then again there have been a lot of strange winners over the years. As is often the case when something is left to a public vote! You're absolutely right that it often throws up winners that people disagree with, but never before has that been because of vote rigging and some secret agenda. People pretending this is a new phenomenon or now worrying about the definition of words in the title of the award, is pure manufactured outrage - an award running for well over 50 years with minimal controversy is apparently now the most flawed thing in existence and of course is rigged. It's utterly pathetic how easily some people lap up these narratives they're fed.

New Doctor Who. According to the Mail the show was a smash hit and the new doctor is great, I haven't seen it so can't comment on the quality. The BBC has a deal with Disney who have pumped 100m into the show so I assume that means the special effects were a bit better than the wobbly scenery of the 1970s. However if you sup with the devil be sure to bring a long spoon. Disney may not own the show but 100m buys you a lot of say. The viewing figures the BBC needs to look out for are those on the Disney streaming platform. It's a great opportunity to reach out to a worldwide young audience however if they are not interested Disney will not be happy. As Harry and Migraine have found out just because you sign a big contract with a streaming service that is not the end of it. You still have to deliver rating and this is the hard world of commercial TV. We will see. It's essentially a show where degenerates try to turn your kids into freaks. So Disney pumping money into it isn't unexpected. If Walt Disney were alive he would burn his own studio down.

And he had zero tolerance for smut or potty toilet humour. apart from Jimmy Savile, why do so many paedo's home-in on anything child-friendly ? swimming clubs, library nursery rhyme readings, fast food, etc etc.

The vulnerable ones who don't have sensible people looking out for them are having their innocence and....in many cases lives destroyed. To happen to defenceless innocent children makes my blood boil. My generation and previous ones had the socially sensible attitude towards this type of person.....even though the degenerates had already started eating into those attitudes by Generation X. Even with the genuine ones, promoting this is just another way of lowering the birth rate and ensuring poverty for coming generations....We have no one in power either culturally or economically who cares about the west beyond their own career lifespan.

Good old 'auntie' is giving you a choice of NOT being able to watch their woke, biased programs . . . [Link]

It's old technology no idea what the cost of maintaining it is but most people who have satellite TV will not be impacted. The next big change will be when they do away with Freeview as the government wants the frequencies for other things. I'm not sure there are any plans as such because there will be major complaints but my understanding is that Freeview will delivered via broadband at some point in the future.

A BBC recruitment policy document says applicants should be asked to “explain what diversity and inclusion means to you and, should you be successful, what opportunities do you see for you to promote, celebrate or encourage diversity and inclusion in your role?” The guidelines tell recruiters: “Don’t hire [candidates who are] unsuited to the organisation” if they are “dismissive or derisory of diversity and inclusion and surrounding topics”. Managers are also directed not to offer jobs to candidates who show a “lack of interest in learning more where no evidence of education and understanding of diversity and inclusion was given”. Well at least they didn't ask which party do you vote for? (Recruiter advice) only hire left wing. Edited by Badger11 (30 Jan 2024 9.53am)

We are living in a new McCarthy Era. If you got the wrong ideology then you cannot be treated with the minimum of respect. or imagine a brilliant muslim footballer not getting signed to a big club cos his opinions on Career-women are seen as not progressive ?
