On the online BBC story there is a bit by the BBC's 'LGBT Correspondent', Ben Hunte (yes they have a specific writer for this sort of thing!) He/she/it describes it as a "huge moment".

To quote Mandy Rice-Davies: Well, he would, wouldn’t he?

On today's BBC website the main headline is quite rightly about the death of the Chinese doctor that broke the story of the virus but the second headline is :-

Phillip Schofield comes out as gay

That's the third headline this week about LGBTGTXYZ.

As Status Quot might have sung "down, down, dumbing down"

There's a big "coming out" party round at Barrymore's. Bring your swimming trunks

 


I disengage, I turn the page.

The swimming trunks are optional.

Someone should hide the pool thermometer just to be safe.

If you made a parody of the BBC website nobody would notice.

'Dave reveals it's difficult for short people to replace a light bulb'

'Hundreds of refugees flee Britain fearing Brexit disease'

'Mums in Hounslow unite to congratulate diversity sculpture idea'

'LGBT campaigner explains that middle-aged men are less likely to understand anything'

A monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter probably still makes more sense than a BBC website journalist....probably smells better too.

It's unbelievable as Schofield admitting that he's lied to his wife and kids for years has now moved up to their top story

That's how C4 come up with their reality show ideas.
BBC probably does disapprove of scented deodorant and promotes the use of natural products in it's 480 page employee handbook, 182nd edition, also available in sign language and translated into 700 languages and dialects.

Natural so that it's biodegradable....So important to remember about the environment. We don't want young Greta scowling at the BBC.

Otherwise there's a danger that thousands of BBC handbooks could end up hanging around the gills of endless scores of gender neutral dolphins.

I see the BBC is taking notice of how it spends our money, NOT.

[Link]

An army of reporters covering the US primaries, actually shoddy work by the Daily Mail as they forgot to include the other staff with the reporter e.g. cameraman, sound engineer etc this is costing us a fortune.

A no 10 off the record briefing (was it Cummings) has said the licence fee will be scrapped, c'mon Boris get on with it.

I get the strong feeling that the BBC is about to replace Brexit as the next ideological battleground.

 


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.

I believe it will be about immigration and demographic change

If the BBC stopped wasting the public's money and focused on core responsibilities this problem would largely go away.

It has massively overreached itself whilst greedily sucking up the taxpayers money. 6000 people alone work in the news department they spend a fortune on a 24 hour news channel nobody watches 80 plus local radio stations that stifle competition against commercial and community radio stations. Another fortune on the BBC website that again is anti competitive and of course the hundreds of mandarins with ridiculous job titles and I haven't even mentioned the high salaries or gold plated pension scheme.

I admit I want the licence fee abolished but the BBC is not even trying to meet it's critics halfway. They could close a lot of the peripheral stuff and reduce the duplication of resources (multiple teams covering the same news story) halve the licence fee and still produce quality programming. Most people would probably be okay with that.

Some of us believe it is bias so we won't change our opinion but like Brexit there is an opportunity here to compromise with the majority if they dig their heels in this will go the way of Brexit and the government will get it's way.

The BBC has been warned but just like the Brexit elite they know best and no doubt that's what they will say when the turn the lights out.

Has anyone made the point about the fact that the BBC came out with 'we pull the country together', in a surreal and untrue take on the license fee....literally a week or so after one of their main presenters (Kish Kumar) released a BS video on the BBC based on another BBC funded show saying that the 'British invented nothing and are awful'....which isn't true and is nonsensical and race baiting the core audience.

No Mr BBC chairman....You represent the Guardian's belief system....which is a minority outside of the middle classes..... and that mindset infects everything you put out.

The other month the BBC also...through their website literally had a video talking about the negative aspects of 'whiteness'.

The chairman of the BBC talks porkies.
