The BBC are all about how terrible women's rights will be in Afghanistan, yeah I agree.

However, in the actual west a woman can't even say that a man in a dress shouldn't enter a women's toilet.

It starts with shouting about women's rights, which all reasonable people understand.....the problem is it ends with children changing gender at four without their parents agreeing.....as the SNP are now putting forward.

The sisters are up in arms over the fate of women in Afghanistan and demand something must be done.

Well the only something that would work would be to put male troops on the ground unless of course the metropolitan elite women would like to volunteer?

No? Didn't think so, their happy to let working class men do the killing and dying in foreign countries.

As the man said you'll never see a feminist in a divorce court.

Was listening to this this morning.
The BBC were investigating racist tweets after the Euro's and tracked down a troll in Saudia Arabia.

The press in general have really glossed over how much of this abuse is coming from abroad giving the impression that its the English Disease again.

More that half of the 396 posts reported were from abroad. Many from the middle east, I wouldnt be surprised if quite a few were from Italy.

Whilst there's no room for racism, I found the reporting has been a bit disingenuous about the source of the majority of the abuse.

Britain gets a bad rep from a lot of people claim that we are a institutional racist country when we are not. We are far more progressive than most countries.

I think their would be less objection to them, and taking the knee, if they were clearer that a lot of the abuse is coming from abroad, and the gesture is an international message to share British values of equality, and not just aimed at football fans, who are vilified at any given opportunity by the media.

The press couldn't wait to stick the knife in after the Euro's.

Another daft statement.

There is no justification for the censorship of political opinions unless they incite violence. There are always grey areas, of course, but the kind of blatant suppression of legitimate concerns and promotion of a one sided agenda is unacceptable.
We have seen how violence from one demographic is tolerated while those opposing it are vilified and persecuted.

You are oblivious to all of this, of course.

There is no censorship of political opinions, whether they incite violence, or not. There are standards and rules applied by the owners of some social media businesses. Which is their absolute right.

No-one has a right to plaster their political messaging on your walls. Only on their own, or somewhere which offers unrestricted access.

Only illegal acts are restricted by law. So when alternative platforms exist, every opinion has an outlet.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

That does not make it right or balanced.

If you seriously claim that media outlets don't tell their target audience what they want to hear and often try to tell them how to think, then you are utterly bereft of any level of insight.

I didn't pass any comment on whether it is balanced.

It's the right of private media businesses, of all kinds, to decide for themselves how to respond to their target consumers. Ultimately, their purpose is, or ought to be, making money for their owners. Although Rupert Murdoch, Viscount Rothermere and Fred Barclay seem to have other ideas.

Unless you want to restrict everyone, with control resting in Whitehall, then you cannot restrict anyone.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

But the BBC is publicly funded and as such is expected to uphold standards of balance and unbiased reporting
which on many occasions recently it has not.

Privately funded outlets can report virtually anything they like eg Daily Mirror or Daily Express

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.
