What about the fire police and ambulances getting through. If this happens it will cause deaths. If I didnt pavement park the gap between my car and opposite would be about 5 foot. Not good for the above and bin day would be fun!

Yet another BBC article promoting far left progressive politics in regards to race.....giving prominence to the arguments for employing less white people and not hiring on pure merit but on 'diversity'.

The basic problem is lack of and expense of parking plus poor Public Transport in some places. But instead let's fine people who park on the pavement - more indirect taxes basically. Of course there will be a guy in a wheelchair who works for the BBC who had to kick a car on the pavement once - etc. Red and Blue Army!

Not sure how Lance from Connecticut can infiltrate the Taliban. But skin colour should have no relevance on ability, according to advocates to diversity, yet in the same breath, an organisation can be too white. Ridiculous double standards but just par for the course now. Red and Blue Army!

Just protecting their corsa.

If you are going to work for a national intelligence agency then allegiance is by far the most important quality.....what's the point of merit if it can't be relied upon. Once both are beyond question then skin colour is irrelevant. Progressive politics and national security don't mix.

Once both are beyond question then skin colour is irrelevant. Progressive politics and national security don't mix. Edited by Stirlingsays (10 Sep 2019 11.59am) Do they have quotas these days? I remember them being brought in but not sure if Trump got rid of them. What I always see are unofficial quotas at work anyway. Went for a job I really thought I would get a couple of times. Interviews were brilliant. Then when I saw who got the jobs I couldn't help thinking that I was too white male, or in one case able-bodied. I can't compete with that without a sex change and serious accident or illness and a sun lamp is just not going to do anything except make me look like a sex pest. And those people are useless at their jobs despite how right-on and warm inside the HR people can now feel. Whilst, I used to be a top, top worker, I am now understandably demotivated to the extent that I would have no loyalty at all to my organisation. In fact, I sometimes actively undermine them from the inside without even thinking about it too much. I won my employment case over these and other issues but the ten years it took has aged me and left me cynical. I haven't received my payout yet - two years after the judgement. That is how vindictive they are. Rest assured, I will get it. I suspect that most just shut up and put up these days and I wouldn't blame them. Red and Blue Army!

Just curious here is every BBC tv/radio 4 production left leaning? There is a documentary at present on the rise of nazism. Is this lefty? You could argue that it sends signals on the rise and dangers of right wing populism and thus its substance is uncontroversial but its timing and message more political? For my part I think it should be compulsory viewing for quite a few who post on here...

If you look at the numbers of programmes made in the last twenty years by production companies on the 'rise of the Nazis'....as opposed to the 'rise of the communists'.....you kind of get the answer. The bias of the kind of person who enters into journalism and media generally is much more liberal and/or left than the average person. So yes, the media is more 'lefty', the breakdown of general elections alone shows you that.....Where are the socially conservative programmes?

I find it quite ironic how much hate there is for Boris, Putin, Trump and historical figures such as Churchill, yet Stalin is ignored. Stalin used to personally read through the lists of who was to be executed or sent to the Gulag - he literally signed off on every one himself. Absolute madness. Responsible for 10s of millions of deaths, yet Trump is a worse bogeyman. Red and Blue Army!

If we had a media which more accurately reflected the politics in the country we would have at least one major TV network. Maybe then we wouldn't have quite the number of youngsters thinking that socialism is this shiny moral concept that they are somehow being kept from by evil capitalists.
