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

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'

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

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

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.
